HC Deb 20 August 1883 vol 283 c1354
MR. HOPWOOD (for Mr. AGNEW)

asked the Under Secretary of State for India, Whether the recent publication in the "Times" of the Minutes or Report by certain Judges of the Calcutta High Court on the Jurisdiction Bill was a premature and authorized publication; and, whether, seeing that the Report in question has been put before the public, he will also lay before the public the Minutes or Reports on the same subject that have been recorded by the Bombay and Madras High Courts, in order that comparison may be made with the Report of the Calcutta Judges?

MR. J. K. CROSS

Strictly speaking, it may, perhaps, be said that the publication of the Report referred to by my hon. Friend is irregular and premature; but it is really not a matter of much moment. The Reports of the High Courts of Madras and Bombay will be laid on the Table with the other Reports of the Local Governments.
