§ MR. MACVEAGHI beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland whether any regulations were made by the Senate of the Royal University of Ireland for the issue of tickets for the conferring of degrees; and, if so, 896 whether he can state the terms of such regulations.
MR. BRYCEI am informed by the Secretary of the Royal University that regulations as to the issue of tickets for admission to the conferring of degrees have been made by a committee appointed by the Senate for the purpose. The regulations provide the maximum of tickets which may be issued to each person of the following classes who may apply, viz., twelve to each Senator, six to each fellow or examiner, three to each candidate graduate, and one to each distinguished graduate. In the latter case the ticket is to be used for the graduate's own admission, and the number issued is not to exceed 100.
