HC Deb 05 April 1859 vol 153 c1415
SIR DENHAM NORREYS

said, he would beg to ask the noble Lord the Secretary for Ireland what was to be done with the Manor Courts, Ireland Bill, which was coming back to that House from the Lords with Amendments. He also wished to know whether provision had been made for appointing returning officers in those places where the officers of those courts which had been abolished, had acted as returning officers.

LORD NAAS

said, that some slight Amendments had been made in the Bill, and it was intended that it should become law this Session. Provision had been made in those cases where the seneschals had been returning officers, to transfer their duties to the sheriffs of the districts.

House adjourned at half-past nine o'clock.
