HC Deb 19 February 1847 vol 90 c249
MR. FERRAND

, seeing the Attorney General in his place, begged to remind him, that he had formerly complained in that House of the injustice which he had suffered, as a tenant in tail of property in Yorkshire, from the proceedings of railroad companies; he now wished to know whether it was intended to introduce into the Railway Clauses Consolidation Bill any provision to prevent injustice being done to tenants in tail?

The ATTORNEY GENERAL

said, that the law upon the subject to which the hon. Member referred, was involved in so much doubt, that he must take time to consider before he could give an answer.
