HC Deb 30 May 1842 vol 63 c979
Mr. O'Connell

wished to put a question to the noble Lord, the Secretary for Ireland. A report had been recently made on the grand jury system, suggesting the adoption of legislative measures with reference to that subject. What he desired to know was, whether it was the intention of the Government to act upon that report?

Lord Eliot

was understood to say, the report the right hon. Gentleman referred to had only been lately made, and as the Government required ample time to consider the important questions involved in it, there would probably be no legislative measure on the subject introduced during the present Session.
