§ MR. MAURICE HEALY (Cork)asked Mr. Attorney General for Ireland, Whether a record is kept by the Crown Solicitor or otherwise of the names or of the aggregate number of jurors ordered by the Crown to stand by on criminal trials in Ireland; whether, if so, the Government will be willing to grant a Return showing the number of jurors ordered to stand by by the Crown in criminal cases of an agrarian or political character for the past six years in Ireland; and, whether, if not, he will direct such a Return to be kept henceforward?
§ THE ATTORNEY GENERAL FOR IRELAND (Mr. HOLMES) (Dublin University)No such record is kept as that referred to in the Question of the hon. Member; and I do not see what advantage would be derived from such a record, as any Return based on it would almost necessarily be misleading.
