§ MR. JOHN ROCHE (Galway, E.)I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland if he will say what steps the Government propose 1100 to take to ascertain the circumstances under which the recent proceedings for a writ quo warranto in the case of His Honour County Court Judge Bodkin were initiated; and whether he proposes to take any action in view of the suggestion of the Lord Chief Justice of Ireland that proceedings by way of petition might be taken.
§ MR. BIRRELLThe Government do not propose to take any steps in this matter. It is of course open to Judge Bodkin to take action if so advised.
