§ MR. D. SULLIVAN (Westmeath, S.)asked Mr. Solicitor General for Ireland, What quorum is necessary when a Grand Jury is deciding in fiscal matters; and, can a presentment be passed by a majority which is not 12 or more?
§ THE SOLICITOR GENERAL FOR IRELAND (Mr. MADDEN) (Dublin Uni-1705 versity) I assume, from the Question of the hon. Member, that the legality of some particular action on the part of some Grand Jury is questioned; and I do not think that I ought to give an opinion on a matter which may be the subject-matter of decision in a Court of Law. If the hon. Member will place on the Paper the state of facts to which his Question relates, I will then be able to see whether I can give him an answer.
