§ MR. MURPHY (Kerry, E.)I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland if he will state what was the reason of the failure of the sheriff of the county of Kerry to collect the amount of a County Court decree obtained by the County Council of Kerry 146 against a Mrs. Bridget Hovan of Minish, near Killarney; and if such failure arose from any difference in the law in such matters in Ireland and England.
§ THE CHIEF SECRETARY FOR IRELAND (Mr. WYNDHAM,) DoverI have received this morning from the sheriff a report stating his reasons for not levying the decree in this case. I am consulting the Law Officers on the second query, and meantime would ask the hon. Member to postpone the Question until Monday.
