§ MR. H. H. FOWLERasked Mr. Attorney General, Whether, upon the Order in Council for consolidating the Common Law Divisions of the High Court of Justice coming into operation, arrangements will be made for complying with the 30th section of "The Judicature Act, 1873," which requires continuous sittings for the trial of causes in London and Middlesex; and, if be could state how many judges will sit for the trial of causes in London and Middlesex after the expiration of the Winter Assize and before the commencement of the Easter Vacation?
§ THE ATTORNEY GENERAL (Sir HENRY JAMES),in reply, said, that since receiving Notice of the Question he had communicated with the Lord Chancellor 1648 and also with Lord Coleridge on the subject, and that he had their authority for saying that they fully appreciated the necessity, in the interest of the public, of having continuous sittings for Middlesex and London, and every effort would be made to promote that object. He was not certain as to the exact number of Judges who would sit; but he believed that six would be sitting for some time.
