§ MR. SEXTONasked 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. WARTONI 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. SEXTONI 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. SPEAKERI 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. SEXTONI 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.
