§ MR. MAURICE HEALY (Cork)asked Mr. Attorney General for Ireland, Whether the precept addressed to Sheriffs for the summoning of jurors in Ireland specifies the number of jurors to be summoned; whether, if not, the number of jurors to be placed on any panel is entirely in the discretion of the Sheriff; and, whether, if the precep does specify the number, there was any change in the form of the precept addressed to the High Sheriff of the County of Dublin at the present Commission?
§ THE ATTORNEY GENERAL FOR IRELAND (Mr. HOLMES) (Dublin University)In answer to this Question, I have to say that the precept does not specify the number of jurors to be summoned, and the matter is left to the discretion of the Sheriff. I am informed there has been no change in the form of the precept addressed to the High Sheriff of the County of Dublin at the present Commission.
