§ MR. LOCKEasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department, Whether the Royal Court of Jersey has lodged "au greffe" an Act of Parliament relating to Friendly and other Societies, and not registered same in accordance with an Order in Council?
MR. ASSHETON CROSS, in reply, said, that last Saturday week an Act of Parliament relating to Friendly and other Societies was presented to the Royal Court of Jersey, together with the Order in Council, directing its registration. The Court lodged it au greffe for examination; but on Monday last, after examination, the Court, instead of ordering the registration of the said Act, referred it to the States.
