§ Bill considered in Committee.
§ (In the Committee.)
§ Motion made, and Question proposed, "That Clause 1 stand part of the Bill."
§ MR. HERBERT GLADSTONEsaid, this was a Bill to enable the Court in Ireland to carry out the purposes of the Supreme Court of Judicature Act. That Act contained a clause enabling the Supreme Court to reorganize its staff within two years, and to consider what officers should be removed within two years of the commencement of the Act. It had now become necessary to make further alterations in the constitution of the staff; but the Law Officers were of opinion that they could not carry out those changes under the present Act, and this Bill was brought in to enable them to do so.
§ MR. HEALYasked whether the proposed changes would involve an extra charge on the Consolidated Fund or the Estimates?
§ Question put, and agreed to.
1613§ Bill reported, without Amendment; read the third time, and passed, without Amendment.
