§ MR. SLOAN (Belfast, S.)I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord-Lieu- I tenant of Ireland if he will lay upon the Table a copy of the report which led to the dismissal of the workhouse master at Granard, whom the Local Government Board had appointed; if not, will he give the name of the person who made the reports, and state the reasons for the workhouse master's dismissal.
§ MR. WYNDHAMThe late master was required to resign on the ground of incapacity to properly maintain 1386 discipline in the workhouse. The Board's decision was based on information supplied by the inspector. The report made by the inspector is a confidential document and, as such, cannot be laid on the Table of the House.
