§ SIR R. ASSHETON CROSSasked Mr. Attorney General, Whether he thinks that it is possible, at this period of the Session, adequately to discuss in Parliament, the Court of Criminal Appeal Bill?
§ MR. HEALYsaid, that before the Question was answered, he would ask if it was competent for the right hon. 1144 Gentleman to put such a Question as this, which was asking for an opinion as to what would be done by the House?
§ MR. SPEAKER,in reply, said, he saw nothing irregular in the Question of the right hon. Gentleman.
§ THE ATTORNEY GENERAL (Sir HENRY JAMES)said, he could not conceive why they should not proceed with the Bill, which was fully discussed on the second reading, and which had been considered for many days in Committee, and by those lawyers who were not upon Circuit. He therefore hoped they should be able to take it without much discussion.
§ SIR R. ASSHETON CROSSsaid, it had been so altered in its progress through the Standing Committee that when it came on for Consideration, as amended, he should move that the Order be read and discharged.
