§ MR. TULLYI beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland whether the Local Government Board have considered the special circumstances of the case of Rate Collector Hanson, Castlerea, to whom the Roscommon County Council admit they owe the sum of £166 15s. 6d., as arrears of poundage; and whether the Local Government Board still refuse their sanction to the payment of this debt.
§ MR. WYNDHAMThe Board has given the matter careful consideration, but is satisfied that the circumstances are not such as would justify the granting of further concessions to this collector.
