HC Deb 14 November 1916 vol 87 c637W
Mr. LUNDON

asked the Chief Secretary whether he will take steps to see that on the question of surcharges members of local public bodies in Ireland will have the right of appeal to the ordinary Law Courts?

Mr. DUKE

Persons aggrieved by a surcharge have the right of appeal to the Court of King's Bench under Section 12 of the Local Government (Ireland) Act, 1871.

Mr. MacCAW

asked whether boards of guardians in Ireland, when surcharged by Local Government Board auditors in sums not exceeding £100, have the right to appeal to a County Court judge?

Mr. DUKE

Persons aggrieved by a surcharge have the right of appealing either to the Court of King's Bench or to the Local Government Board, but not to a County Court.
