§ MR. BOTTOMLEYhad on the Paper the following Question:—"To ask Mr. Attorney - General whether his attention has been called to tickets distributed in this country for what is described as an art union drawing in connection with St. Mary's Church, Melmount, Strabane, in which £1,500 worth of prizes are offered, the first of them being stated to be of the value of £100; and whether, in view of the provisions of the Lottery Act, he will say what steps he proposes to take in the matter."
When his name was called, the hon. Member said an intimation had reached him that the Question should have been addressed to the Attorney-General for 1588 Ireland. As, however, he thought he had no right to interfere in Irish affairs, he begged to withdraw it.
