§ MR. SCHREIBERasked Mr. Attorney General, Whether he is aware that by the Standing Order, No. 1, applicable to all Appeals presented to the House of Lords on or after the 1st day of November 1876, it was
Ordered, That, except where otherwise provided by statute, no Petition of Appeal be received by this House, unless the same be lodged in the Parliament Office for presentation to the House within one year from the date of the last decree, order, judgment, or interlocutor appealed from;and, whether he would inform the House by what statute, if any, the time for appealing in Mr. Bradlaugh's case can be extended from one year to five?
§ THE ATTORNEY GENERAL (Sir HENRY JAMES)The hon. Member is quite right in saying that the limit of 885 time for appealing to the House of Lords from the Court of Appeal is one year. An hon. Friend near me having suggested, as I was speaking, that the time was five years, I adopted his statement at the moment to avoid controversy.
