§ MR. DIXON-HARTLAND (Middlesex, Uxbridge)asked Mr. Attorney General, On what ground bankruptcy proceedings arising at Uxbridge and its neighbourhood are conducted at the County Court at Windsor, and not at the Uxbridge County Court, thus putting to great inconvenience all the Uxbridge suitors, professional men, and witnesses, and obliging them to waste time and money by going over to Windsor instead of transacting the business at their own Court, which is presided over by the same Judge; whether he can explain how this state of things arose; and, if he will take steps to put an end to such an anomaly?
§ THE ATTORNEY GENERAL (Sir RICHARD WEBSTER) (Isle of Wight)Prior to the Act of 1869 Uxbridge was attached to the London Bankruptcy Court. By an Order of the Lord Chancellor in January, 1870, the Uxbridge County Court District was included in the District of the Windsor County Court for bankruptcy purposes, and has continued to form part of that District down to the present time. No complaint has ever been made of this arrangement during the 18 years. I am informed that during the last four years there has only been one bankruptcy case from the Uxbridge District.
