HC Deb 13 February 1863 vol 169 cc308-9
MR. ARTHUR MILLS

said, he desired to ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, Whether it is the intention of Her Majesty's Government to take any steps in pursuance of the recommendations of the Circuit Regulation Commission, or in any way to alter the existing divisions of the Judges' Circuits?

SIR GEORGE GREY

said, it had not been thought necessary to make any change in the circuits generally. But it had been thought expedient that a change should be made with respect to the North- ern Circuit, owing to the great amount of business connected with it, and measures were in contemplation with a view to a more equal distribution of business. The details of the arrangement were under the consideration of the Lord Chancellor, who was in communication with the Judges on the subject.
