HL Deb 28 July 1862 vol 168 c902
THE EARL OF LEITRIM

asked, pursuant to notice, If the Lords Commissioners of Her Majesty's Treasury will be pleased to give Instructions to the Engineer appointed to inquire into the Flooding of the River Shannon, to inquire into and examine the Works constructed on the River Shannon for the purposes of the Navigation; and to report if any, and which, of those Works are defective or not in conformity with the Plans approved of by Parliament; to what extent they are defective; and estimate the Cost that will probably be requisite to render the Navigation practicable to the Boats plying on the River?

EARL GRANVILLE

regretted that the Government could not assent to the request of the noble Earl, as the subject had been already considered and settled.
