HC Deb 04 August 1887 vol 318 c1133
MR. MACNEILL (Donegal, S.)

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies, Whether members of the Irish Bar are admitted to plead before the Courts of Ceylon on the name terms and subject to the same conditions as gentlemen called to the English. Bar?

THE SECRETARY OF STATE (Sir HENRY HOLLAND) (Hampstead)

I have made inquiries into this matter; and, so far as I can ascertain, no distinction is made between members of the English and Irish Bar; but if the hon. and learned Member has any reason to believe the contrary to be the case, and will communicate with me, I will send out to the Colony and inquire.
