§ MR. HADFIELDsaid, he would beg to ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, Whether he intends to bring in a Bill or Bills to carry into effect the recommendations of the Royal Commissioners appointed in 1846 for inquiry into the Criminal Laws of Jersey, and the Royal Commissioners appointed in 1859 for inquiry into the Civil Laws of Jersey, except such of them (if any) as have been already carried out by the States of Jersey; and particularly whether it is his intention, considering that the said States have declined to reform the Royal Court, to take any course, by legislation or otherwise, to carry out the recommendations of the said Royal Commissioners (1859) on that subject?
§ SIR GEORGE GREY, in reply, said, the Government had no intention of proposing any Bill upon the subject of reforms in the Island of Jersey. The States, although slow in making reforms, had lately 1055 shown a disposition to make a reform of the Royal Court, and therefore he thought the matter might be left with them for the present.
