HL Deb 13 February 1857 vol 144 cc619-20

THE EARL OF LEITR1M moved for a copy of the applications made to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland for the office of the Clerk of the Crown of the county of Leitrim, together with the recommendation of the several candidates, and the correspondence with reference to the recent appointment to that office.

EARL GRANVILLE

submitted to the noble Earl that it was impossible to furnish a return of that nature; but offered to supply a copy of the correspondence which had passed between the noble Earl and the Government on the subject.

THE EARL OF LEITRIM

said, the correspondence would be useless to him without the rest of the papers.

Resolved in the Negative.

House adjourned to Monday next.
