§ MR. MAURICE HEALY (Cork)asked Mr. Attorney General for Ireland, Whether he will state to the House in what respects the present Mid-Winter Assize arrangements are of more general public convenience than a system whereby the Judge would go circuit from county to county, or whereby fewer counties would be grouped; and, whether he can give any definite information as to the relative expense of a prosecution under the present system, as compared with cases in which prisoners are tried in their own county?
§ THE SOLICITOR GENERAL FOR IRELAND (Mr. GIBSON) (Liverpool, Walton)(who replied) said: The existing system enables some of the Judges to remain in Dublin to transact business there, and has been found generally satisfactory.
§ MR. MAURICE HEALYIs it for the convenience of jurors in the counties which are selected for the Winter Assize Courts?
§ [No reply.]
