HC Deb 11 June 1869 vol 196 c1633
MR. NORWOOD

said, he would beg-to inquire of the Secretary of State for the Home Department. Whether it be the intention of the Government to enlarge the scope of inquiry of the Judicature Commission so as to embrace the County Courts, Quarter Sessions, and other local tribunals in the provinces'? He would also suggest that the mercantile and manufacturing interests should be represented on the Commission.

MR. BRUCE

said, in reply, that the Commission was issued by the late Government. He had consulted the Lord Chancellor and Lord Cairns on the subject, and they agreed in the opinion of his hon. Friend that the scope of the inquiry ought to be extended. The suggestion which his hon. Friend had made should receive consideration.
