asked the Chief Secretary for Ireland, Whether the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland has, under the sixty-third section of the Irish Land Act of 1870, directed any and what sums to be paid to the clerks of the peace for the additional duties imposed upon them by that Act; and, if so, whether he can state how soon the issue of the additional salaries to those officers will be authorized, and what has been the cause of the delay in approving of them?

in reply, said, the question with respect to the remuneration of clerks of the peace for additional duties imposed on them by the Act had been answered yesterday.
