§ MR. DEVLIN (Belfast, W.)To ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland whether he could state the number of appointments to the Commission of the Peace in Ireland from 1st January, 1906, until 31st January, 1907, the number for each province, county, and county borough, respectively, and the number of Catholics appointed in each of these divisions, respectively.
(Answered by Mr. Cherry.) If the hon. Member should think fit to move for a Return in continuation of the Return, Magistrates (Ireland), of 1906 (House of Commons Return 136 of that year), no objection will be offered to granting it. That Return gives particulars of the magistrates appointed for each county, and it shows, among other things, the numbers of each religious denomination appointed.
