§ MR. M'CARTHY DOWNINGasked the Chief Secretary for Ireland, Whether he will furnish to the House, previously to the Second Reading of the Judicature (Ireland) Bill, Copies of the Correspondence which has taken place between the Chief Secretary for Ireland and the Attorney General, and the Irish Judges and the Judges of the Landed Estate Court since the 1st of March last?
§ SIR MICHAEL HICKS-BEACHpointed out that as the Bill in question had already been read a second time, it would be impossible to comply with the suggestion of the hon. Member. At the same time, he was not aware that there had been any Official Correspondence on the subject between the Judges and the Irish Government.
§ MR. M'CARTHY DOWNINGsaid, that as a matter of fact there had been a Correspondence with the Attorney General.
§ SIR MICHAEL HICKS-BEACHsuggested that in that case it would be better to put a Question to the Attorney General on the subject.
