§ MR. WESTasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department, Why, having regard to the Order in Council of the 26th of June, the Winter Assize at Manchester was held on 24th January; and, whether he will advise Her Majesty to amend or repeal that Order; or, if not, take measures to enforce it?
§ SIR WILLIAM HARCOURTreplied, that he could not say that the Assize of the 24th of January was inconsistent with the Order in Council, because the Judges had a discretion in the matter; and he did not, therefore, see any reason to interfere.
§ MR. WESTsaid, that on taking the Vote for the expenses of the Judges on 607 Circuit, he should call attention to the subject.
