HC Deb 31 July 1905 vol 150 c944
MR. EDWARD BARRY (Cork County, S.)

I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland whether, seeing that Arthur Deane, J.P., is in occupation of several evicted farms in the county Cork, he will state on what grounds and on whose recommendation he received the appointment of justice of the peace for the county of Cork.

MR. WALTER LONG

Mr. Deane was, in the usual way, appointed to the commission of the peace by the Lord Chancellor upon the recommendation of His Majesty's Lieutenant of the county.

MR. THOMAS O'DONNELL

Was not his sole recommendation that he had grabbed all the farms he could?

MR. WALTER LONG

I can say nothing about the recommendations on which magistrates are appointed.
