HC Deb 28 July 1882 vol 273 c43
MR. HICKS

asked Mr. Attorney General, Whether he is now prepared to state what arrangements are to be made with a view of relieving the Judicial Bench and others from some of the burdens consequent on attending at four assizes each year?

THE ATTORNEY GENERAL (Sir HENRY JAMES),

in reply, said, that he was perfectly well aware of the inconvenience which four Assizes entailed, and the Government were endeavouring to mitigate it to some extent by a further grouping of counties.
