§ SIR THOMAS ESMONDETo ask the Secretary to the Treasury if the Treasury have considered the memorials forwarded to them on behalf of certain clerks in the Valuation Office, Dublin, and in the office of the Registrar of Titles, Dublin.
§ (Answered by Mr. Runciman.) The Commissioner of Valuation, Ireland, was informed in December and January last that the Treasury was not prepared to accede to the petitions of the various clerks in his department. I have received no further memorial from these officers. As regards the clerks in the office of the Registrar of Deeds I would refer the hon. Baronet to the written reply which I gave on this subject on the 20th instant.‡
