HC Deb 05 February 1858 vol 148 c758
MR. HUME

said, he; wished to ask the Secretary of State for Ireland, Whether he means to introduce a Bill this Session; and if so, how soon; for the better regulation of the weights and measures of Ireland? also, whether he means to introduce a Bill for the amendment of the Grand Jury Laws of that country?

MR. HENRY HERBERT

said, he had already given notice of his intention to move for leave to bring in a Bill to regulate the fairs and markets in Ireland; and that measure would, to a certain extent, establish a uniformity of weights and measures. He had also prepared a Bill on the subject of the Grand Jury Laws, but he could not say when the business of the House would enable him to introduce it,
