§ SIR R. ASSHETON CROSSasked Mr. Attorney General, When the Report of the Standing Committee on the Court of Criminal Appeal Bill be presented to the House, so that the Country may have an opportunity of considering the Amendments which have been made in that Bill by the Committee?
§ THE ATTORNEY GENERAL (Sir HENRY JAMES), in reply, said, this Bill was being considered together with the Criminal Code Bill. The Standing Committee on Law had not made such progress as he could have wished, but he should be the last to give up the hope of proceeding with these Bills during this Session. He would promise that the Report of the Committee should be presented at such a time as would allow the House and the country the fullest opportunity of examining the Amendments which had been introduced.
§ SIR. R. ASSHETON CROSSsaid, the hon. and learned Gentleman had not answered the last portion of the Question?
§ THE ATTORNEY GENERAL (Sir HENRY JAMES)said, that would be acting in opposition to the Instruction to the Committee, which was to deal with both Bills jointly.
