§ MR. SLOAN () Belfast S.To ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland whether he is aware that at a meeting of the Governors of the Cork Lunatic Asylum, held on the 7th instant, a resolution was passed condemning the crown in the centre of the badge worn on the caps of the attendants, and deciding I to discontinue its use in future on the grounds that it was a Party badge and repulsive to the feelings of the attendants; and, if so, will he say if such resolution has the sanction of the Irish Government.
(Answered by Mr. Wyndham.) I am informed that a resolution of the character mentioned was passed at a meeting of the Asylum Committee on the 18th instant after a number of members 597 had left. The resolution does not require the sanction of the Government.
