Starting from -London on August 20, the travellers will be received by "Lord and Lady Aberdeen in Dublin on the following day.""- The fullest opportunity will be given by the Chief Secretary for inspecting the work of the Congested Districts Board, and attention will be devoted to matters connected? with fisheries, industries, and the land.
