HC Deb 08 July 1880 vol 253 c1912
MR. A. BALFOUR

asked Mr. Attorney General, Whether he will lay upon the Table of the House the Shorthand Writers' Notes of the Proceedings in the Court of Common Pleas relative to the withdrawal of the Nottingham Election Petition?

THE ATTORNEY GENERAL (Sir HENRY JAMES),

in reply, said, that the duty of the shorthand writer seemed to be confined to taking notes of the evidence and of the remarks of the Judges; but there were no notes in this ease that could be laid on the Table.
