continuance of such restrictions; and whether they wouldbe immediately removed.-Mr. ROBERTS replied: My atten-tion has not previously been called to any shortage of spiritsin the Maldon district.

THURSDAY, JUNE 5TH.Vaccination Prosecutions in Wexford.

Mr. WATERSON asked the Chief Secretary to the LordLieutenant of Ireland whether his attention had been calledto the heavy costs demanded in vaccination prosecutions atWexford ; whether he had ascertained how those costs weremade up ; whether Section 10 of the Irish Vaccination Actof 1879 required the costs in vaccination prosecutions to bepaid out of the poor-rates ; and whether he would order thereturn of the money to those who had paid these illegalcosts and compensation to those who had been obliged tosuffer imprisonment in default of payment.-Mr. HENRY(Solicitor-General for Ireland) replied: It appears that thecosts in the recent vaccination prosecutions in Wexford varyfrom 2s. 6d. to 7s., as well as the fine in each established caseof default. The Local Government Board are advised thatthe persons in default are liable for costs in addition to thepenalty prescribed by Section 7 of the Vaccination (Amend-ment) (Ireland) Act, 1879. The costs are measured by thePetty Sessions Court, and the Board have no power to reviewthe amount or to order a refund of the costs imposed by acourt of law.

tenant of Ireland whether he would state if the AdvisoryCommittee for the Blind in Ireland had applied to theGovernment for financial support for these most deservingpeople ; and, if so, with what result.-Mr. HENRY replied:The Committee have applied for financial assistance fromthe Government, but the Treasury have refused a grantuntil legislation has been introduced.
