HC Deb 15 February 1887 vol 310 c1544
MR. O'HANLON (Cavan, E.)

asked Mr. Attorney General, Whether the City of London Court insist on having receipt stamps on sums under £2, but made up to that amount by the expenses of the said Court; and, if so, whether the Government will interfere in the matter?

THE ATTORNEY GENERAL (SIR RICHARD WEBSTER) (Isle of Wight)

In reply to the hon. Member, I have to state that the proceedings and fees charged thereon in the City of London Court, as well as in the whole of the County Courts of England and Wales, are at present regulated by the County Court Rules and Treasury Orders, 1886, and I am informed by the officials of the Court that they act strictly in accordance with those Rules. If the hon. Member will give me the particulars of any case in which he has reason to believe that these Rules have not been followed, I will take care that inquiry is made into the matter.
