HC Deb 30 May 1842 vol 63 c985
Mr. Lefroy

had heard a report, which he believed to be well founded, that the Government entertained an intention to alter the condition of the common law courts in Ireland; and, from what he had heard, it appeared as if the measure to be introduced was in some degree oppressive. He wished to know whether the measure in question had received the sanction of the judges in Ireland.

The Chancellor of the Exchequer

said, that a bill had been drawn up in accordance with the report of a commission appointed to investigate the subject, and that a copy of it had been transmitted to the judges of Ireland; and that the bill would not be proceeded with until the decision of the judges should be known.
