HC Deb 05 February 1845 vol 77 c152
Mr. Hume

begged to ask the Home Secretary, whether, as there was no notice taken of the subject in the Speech from the Throne, it was the intention of the Government to introduce a measure respecting County Courts? The measure of last Session had been postponed from the pressure of business. He wished to know whether it was the intention of the Government to proceed with this Bill.

Sir J. Graham

said he had had the honour of the charge of that Bill last Session, but taking into consideration the immense changes which had been made in the law of debtor and creditor, and that imprisonment for debt had been abolished, he could not undertake, in the present Session, to introduce a Bill to regulate the County Courts.
