§ MR. HEALYasked the First Lord of the Treasury, If he will lay a Copy of the Judgment in Adams v. Dunseath upon the Table; and, whether the Government have yet been able to consider the effect of the decisions therein given?
MR. GLADSTONESir, the rule is that these Judgments should not be produced, and I am not aware of any sufficient reason for departing from the ordinary usage in this matter. But, whether that be so or not, the time has not yet arrived for considering the question, because we have not yet received any authentic Copy of the Judgment; but, of course, after it is known it may be made matter of discussion like every other subject. We cannot pledge ourselves to lay a Copy of this Judgment on the Table.
§ MR. HEALYasked whether, during the last Administration of the right hon. Gentleman, a Copy of the Judgment of Mr. Justice Keogh, in the Galway case, was not laid the Table?
