JOSEPH DEVLINI beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland whether the Poor Law Reform Commission have as yet formulated their Report as the result of their sittings in the provinces of Ulster and Leinster; and, if not, can he say at what date the Report on these provinces may be expected.

† See (4) Debates, cxxxv., 1478 and 1495.499 considered. I may add that the Commissioners will this week have completed their inquiries in twenty-three out of the thirty-two counties in Ireland.
