§ MR. MACVEAGHI beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland whether he can state if the professor of logic in the Queen's College, Belfast, holds an appointment under the Board of Intermediate Education and an appointment under the Board of Agriculture besides his examinership; whether the professor of chemistry and the professor of pathology derive any fees or remuneration from the Corporation of Belfast or other public body in addition to examinerships; and whether he can state the number of examinerships and lectureships held outside the college by the different professors.
§ MR. WYNDHAMThe professor of logic occasionally acts as an engineer for the Board of Intermediate Education. I am not aware whether he performs any duties for the Department of Agriculture, but I am inquiring. The professors of chemistry and pathology occasionally advise the Belfast Corporation on matters affecting the public health; I have no information that they receive fees for doing so. Other professors have been employed as examiners by Universities in Ireland and Great Britain. There is no objection to the employment of the professors in the manner stated, so long as such employment does not interfere with the discharge of their college duties, and provided they obtain the consent of the college council.
§ MR. MACVEAGHUnder what authority does he hold these additional appointments.
§ MR. WYNDHAMOne can hardly call them appointments.
