HC Deb 14 March 1884 vol 285 c1546
MR. SEXTON

asked Mr. Attorney General, If there is a rule or understanding in force at the English Bar by reason of which a member of that Bar does not practise in any Court in which his father presides as Judge?

MR. WARTON

I rise to Order. I wish to ask, Sir, whether it is in Order to put this Question on the Paper because the hon. Member may have a personal animosity to some County Court Judge?

MR. SEXTON

I rise to Order. I wish to ask whether the hon. and learned Member is in Order in imputing feelings of personal animosity to an hon. Member?

MR. SPEAKER

I see nothing irregular in the Question of the hon. Member for Sligo.

THE ATTORNEY GENERAL (Sir HENRY JAMES)

There is no such rule or understanding that I know of. In practice, there are a great many instances to the contrary.

MR. SEXTON

I beg to give Notice that at a convenient opportunity I will move that such a rule or understanding be established, especially with regard to Ireland.
