§ MR. MURPHYasked Mr. Solicitor General for Ireland, If the Government will support the Bill now before the House for enlarging the Local Jurisdiction of the Recorders' Courts of Cork and Belfast in Admiralty cases; and, if so, whether, having regard to the present state of Business, and the consequent improbability of the Bill passing during this Session, they would support, or be themselves prepared to carry out, legislation on the subject next year?
§ THE SOLICITOR GENERAL FOR IRELAND (Mr. PLUNKET), in reply, said, it was the intention of the Government to bring in a Bill next year to deal, amongst other subjects, with the jurisdiction of the Recorders' Courts of Cork and Belfast in Admiralty cases. As there was no chance of carrying any measure of the kind that year, he hoped the hon. Member would not press his Bill forward.
