HC Deb 26 July 1910 vol 19 c2077W
Captain COOPER

asked the Chief Secretary for Ireland how many justices of the peace for the county of Kerry there are who have never taken the oaths prescribed by the Promissory Oaths Act, 1868; and, if there are any, whether he will give their names, addresses, and dates of appointment?

Mr. BIRRELL

I am informed that two gentlemen who were appointed to the Commission of the Peace for county Kerry have not, so far as has been ascertained, either taken the magisterial oaths or acted in their capacity as magistrates. I do not see that any useful object would be served in giving the information asked for in the concluding portion of the question.
