HC Deb 05 May 1882 vol 269 c226
SIR HARDINGE GIFFARD

asked Mr. Attorney General, Whether be can give any assurance that the rules about to be promulgated in relation to trial by jury, pleadings, and appeals will be laid upon the Table of the House soon enough to enable a full discussion to take place upon them?

THE ATTORNEY GENERAL (Sir HENRY JAMES)

, in reply, said, that these rules were made under the Judicature Act of 1875, and would come into operation as soon as they were promulgated. All that was required was that, 30 days after coming into operation, they should be laid upon the Table of the House.

SIR HARDINGE GIFFARD

said, that, in consequence of the answer he had received, he would, on Tuesday next, move for leave to bring in a Bill to amend the Act in that respect.
