§ MR. HERMONasked the First Commissioner of Works, Whether his attention has been called to the inadequate accommodation provided in the County Court Office at Preston for the transaction of the ordinary business, and of the extraordinary business arising out of the Bankruptcy and Admiralty Jurisdictions attached to that Court; to the inconvenience to the solicitors and suitors arising from the sittings of the Court being held at the County Sessions Hall, which is situated nearly a mile from the offices; and, whether, upon the expiration of the lease under which the present offices are held, there is any prospect of proper accommodation being provided, and of the court and offices being united under the same roof?
LORD HENRY LENNOX, in reply, said, an effort would be made next year to amalgamate under one roof the offices of the Preston County Court.
