HC Deb 14 February 1868 vol 190 c728
MR. KNATCHBULL-HUGESSEN

said, he rose to give notice that on Monday he would ask Mr. Chancellor of the Exchequer (unless the right hon. Gentleman thought fit to answer the Question now), Whether he has any objection to lay on the table the Copy of the communication made by the Judges to Her Majesty's Government relative to the proposed transfer to them of the trial of Election Petitions?

THE CHANCELLOR OF THE EXCHEQUER

Sir, it may be rather irregular to do so, but perhaps I may be allowed to reply at once to the inquiry of the hon. Member. I have already moved that this Paper—a letter from the Lord Chief Justice of England to the Lord Chancellor—should be laid on the table, and I hope it will be in the hands of hon. Members tomorrow morning.—[Parl. P. No. 50.]
