HC Deb 13 March 1884 vol 285 c1364
MR. STEWART MACLIVER

asked Mr. Attorney General, If the Order in Council published in The London Gazette of March 11th, for the holding of the Spring Assizes, may be regarded as the future arrangement of the circuits, or whether the subject is still under consideration by Her Majesty's Judges?

THE ATTORNEY GENERAL (Sir HENRY JAMES)

Sir, the Order in Council referred to is the usual Order issued in reference to the Spring Assizes, and is not in any way connected with the contemplated attempt to prevent the present waste of judicial strength.
