HC Deb 18 February 1876 vol 227 c480
MR. LOPES

asked Mr. Attorney General, Whether, having regard to the increased and increasing burdens imposed upon jurymen by the Judicature Acts, Her Majesty's Government intend to introduce a measure this Session for the amendment of the jury system; and, whether such measure will contain the provisions of a Bill introduced in the Session of 1874, which passed through Committee, and was approved of by this House?

THE ATTORNEY GENERAL,

in reply, said, a Bill had been prepared by Her Majesty's Government, and would be introduced as soon as possible, having due regard to the state of Public Business and the prospects of its passing into law. It would contain the principal provisions of the Bill introduced in 1874.
