HC Deb 23 July 1877 vol 235 c1662
MR. M'CARTHY DOWNING

asked Mr. Attorney General for Ireland, Why the Rules for carrying out the operations of the Admiralty Courts in Cork and Belfast, framed by the Lord Chancellor, and laid before the Treasury in the month of May last for approval, have not been put in force and the Courts opened for administering the Law?

THE ATTORNEY GENERAL FOR IRELAND (Mr. GIBSON),

in reply, said, the delay was owing to the necessity of making inquiries requisite in order to enable a schedule scale of fees to be fixed, and the basis arranged for the remuneration of the officers. All those difficulties had been overcome, and he hoped the Rules would be issued within the next fortnight.
