§ MR. J P. FARRELLTo ask Mr. Attorney-General for Ireland whether he is aware that a feeling exists in favour of the appointment of Mr. James O'Neill, Chairman of the Longford Board of Guardians, to the commission of the peace for the county of Longford; and will he undertake to bring this case to the notice of the Lord Chancellor, with a view to Mr. O'Neill's appointment.
(Answered by Mr. Cherry.) I am informed by the Lord Chancellor's secretary that no application for the appointment of Mr. O'Neill to the commission of the peace has been received by the Lord Chancellor. I f such an application should be made it would doubtless receive due consideration. It would not be usual for the Law Officers of the Crown to make representations to the Lord Chancellor in such matters.
