§ MR. FLYNNI beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland whether he is aware that in some districts of Ireland petty sessions clerks charge a fee of 2s. 6d. to publicans for 972 signing their licences when renewing same; and whether the attention of the Registrar of Petty Sessions Clerks will be called to this practice.
§ MR. WALTER LONGThe Registrar of Petty Sessions Clerks is not aware that this practice exists. If the hon. Member will give me specific instances I will have inquiries made.
