HC Deb 10 February 1904 vol 129 c1328
MR. T. W. RUSSELL (Tyrone, S.)

I beg to ask Mr. Attorney-General for; Ireland what is the legal status of Mr. Commissioner Fitzgerald under the Land Acts; and whether he is a Judge of the High Court of Justice, and entitled to rank as such.

THE ATTORNEY-GENERAL FOR IRELAND (Mr. ATKINSON,) Londonderry, N.

For the purposes of the Land Acts and Land Purchase Acts, Mr. Fitzgerald's status is that of a Judicial Commissioner, but he is not, in my opinion, a judge of the High Court of Justice, nor is he entitled to rank as such.
