Superannuation of Sessional Crown Solicitors.

HC Deb 04 July 1910 vol 18 cc1468-9W

Mr. AUGUSTINE ROCHE

asked the Attorney-General for Ireland whether, in view of the Treasury Minute requiring Sessional Crown Solicitors on attaining the age of seventy years to send in to him their resignation of the office, he will say whether George K. Sherlock, who is Crown Solicitor for the West Riding of the county of Cork, who is now 74 years of age, has complied with the Treasury Minute; and, if not, will he call upon him to send in his resignation or supersede him in his office.

Mr. BIRRELL

Mr. Sherlock was appointed Sessional Crown Solicitor for the West Riding of Cork prior to the adoption of the Departmental Rule referred to in the question, and he is not therefore subject to it.
