HC Deb 30 March 1882 vol 268 c296
MR. LABOUCHERE

asked Mr. Attorney General, Whether he is aware that MR. Cheney Garfit, whose name was removed from the Commission of the Peace for the division of Holland, on account of his connection with the bribery that took place at the last General Election, is still on the Commission of the Peace for the division of Lindsey?

THE ATTORNEY GENERAL (SIR HENRY JAMES)

, in reply, said, he was not aware that Mr. Cheney Garfit was still on the Commission of the Peace for the division of Lindsey. If he had not yet been removed it was through inadvertence. He would inquire into the matter.

SIR H. DRUMMOND WOLFF

asked Mr. Attorney General, Whether Mr. Robert William Staniland, holding the judicial office of registrar of the Boston County Court, was the same Mr. Staniland who was scheduled for bribery by the Boston Election Commissioners?

THE ATTORNEY GENERAL (Sir HENRY JAMES)

, in reply, said, he had no knowledge of the matter except the similarity of names, which would lead him to the conclusion that Mr. Staniland who was scheduled for bribery was the registrar of the County Court. The matter was now, however, the subject of consideration.
