asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether he has received a memorial and several resolutions asking the Government to undertake to defray a larger proportion, if possible amounting to one-half, of the cost of the maintenance of patients resident in lunatic asylums in Ireland; and, if so, what action he proposes to take?
