§ MR. SWIFT MACNEILLI beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland whether he will state how many students of the Queen's College, Cork, holders of prizes, exhibitions, and scholarships in that institution have failed during the last five years to pass the ordinary examinations in the Arts Course of the Royal University of Ireland.
§ † See Page.
730§ MR. WYNDHAMStudents of the Queen's Colleges holding scholarships, exhibitions, or prizes in the Faculty of Arts do not necessarily present themselves for the Arts Examination of the Royal University, and some, in fact, do not. The Royal University furnishes an official list of those who pass and of those who obtain honours, but not of those who have failed. I am not sure whether it will be practicable to obtain the information desired in this Question. I will, however, inquire.
