O'Connor, of Killarney, is a justice of the peace for the county of Kerry; and, if so, if he will state the exact date of his appointment; who recommended him to the Lord Chancellor; and on what date he took the oaths prescribed by the Promissory Oaths Act of 1868; and if Mr. O'Connor's name was removed from the register of voters for seven years?

Mr. BIRRELL

I am informed that Mr. James T. O'Connor was appointed to the magistracy for the county Kerry on the 7th of June, 1907, and was sworn in as a magistrate on the 10th of the same month. He was appointed by the late Lord Chancellor upon his own responsibility. The answer to the concluding paragraph is in the negative.
