§ MR. MAURICE HEALY (Cork)asked the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, Whether the Government have come to any decision on the question of appointing assistant revising barristers at the coming revision of Parliamentary voters; and, whether, in view of the fact that in many constituencies it will be absolutely impossible for the revising barrister without assistance to complete the revision of the voters' lists within the time fixed by Law, and that, in any event, the casting on the county court judges of any considerable share in the work of the revision courts will completely dislocate the ordinary civil and criminal judicial business within their jurisdiction, the Government propose before the end of the Session to introduce legislation on the subject?
§ THE CHIEF SECRETARY (Mr. JOHN MORLEY) (Newcastle-on-Tyne)There is a Bill down for second reading to-day to enable the Government to appoint assistant revising barristers in Ireland where necessary. It is our intention to proceed with this Bill, and we hope to pass it into law before the closing of the Session.
