§ MR. J. P. FARRELL (Longford, N.)To ask Mr. Attorney-General for Ireland whether he is aware that complaint is made that the populous parish of Newtowncashel, county Longford, is without the services of a magistrate residing in the locality for the signing of summonses and other magisterial functions; and will he direct the attention of the Lord Chancellor to this want and request him to appoint the local county councillor for the division, Mr. John Hanley, to that office.
†See (4) Debates, clxvii., 832, 1258.647 (Answered by Mr. Cherry.) I have referred this question to the Lord Chancellor, who informs me that no complaint has been made as to the want of magistrates in this districts, but that he will have inquiry made into the matter.
