HC Deb 11 November 1884 vol 293 c1446
MR. BIGGAR

asked the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, Whether he is aware that in county Cavan it often happens that cases have to be postponed at Petty Sessions from the scarcity of Local Justices of the Peace; and, whether he will draw the attention of the Lord Chancellor to the subject, with a view of remedying the defect?

MR. CAMPBELL - BANNERMAN

From inquiry I find it to be the case that several Petty Sessions have been adjourned owing to a sufficient number of magistrates not being in attendance. The attention of the Lord Chancellor will be called to the matter.
