HC Deb 08 May 1862 vol 166 cc1359-60
MR. LONGFIELD

said, he wished to ask the Chief Secretary for Ireland, If the attention of Government has been called to the abuses caused by permitting "Civil Bill Decrees" in Ireland to be executed by special bailiffs nominated by the parties obtaining them; and if it is intended to introduce during the Session any measure to improve the administration of the Law on this subject?

SIR ROBERT PEEL

said, in reply, that an inquiry had been instituted into this subject, and the Law Officers of the Government were considering the propriety of some change in the Law respecting it.
