HC Deb 14 February 1884 vol 284 c869
MR. ARTHUR O'CONNOR

asked Mr. Attorney General, Whether his attention has been called to the delay in concluding Chancery Suits arising from the block of business in the Taxing Offices; whether it is a fact that it is rarely possible to obtain an appointment to tax a long bill under several weeks; and, whether it would not be possible to dispose of the arrears of business by opening the Taxing Master's Offices during a portion of the long vacation?

THE ATTORNEY GENERAL (Sir HENRY JAMES)

, in reply, said, that there was no block of business in the taxing offices of the Chancery Division. One taxing master was in attendance throughout the whole of the Long Vacation.
