Mr. BIRRELL

For detailed accounts of the receipts and expenditure of the Mullin- gar District Asylum in the last eight years, I must refer the hon. Member to the relative reports of the inspectors of lunatics. I am sending him a copy of a statement giving the particulars in regard to loans, asked for in the last parts of the question.
