§ MR. LOCKEasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department, Whether the Bailiff of the Royal Court of Jersey has appointed a Sheriff, notwithstanding the Report of the Commissioners that such appointment should not be filled up; and, whether the Government will take steps to prevent the said 352 Sheriff from performing duties which properly pertain to an officer belonging by the Crown?
MR. ASSHETON CROSS,in reply, said, he was not at all aware of the appointment referred to by his hon. and learned Friend, but he would make inquiries. Indeed, he had already written to the Lieutenant Governor of Jersey on the subject, and he hoped in a short time to ascertain the real state of the case, when he would be happy to communicate with the hon. and learned Gentleman.
