HC Deb 09 March 1888 vol 323 c699
MR. T. M. HEALY (Longford, N.)

asked Mr. Solicitor General for Ireland, Has his attention been called to a letter, written by the Right honourable the Recorder of Dublin to the papers, pressing for the necessity of some amendment in the law as to levying executions in his Court and the Court of Conscience, and pointing out the hardship to the poor of the present method of levying judgments for small debts, and will anything be done by Government to apply a legislative remedy to grievances thus judicially called attention to?

THE SOLICITOR GENERAL FOR IRELAND (Mr. MADDEN) (Dublin University)

My attention has been called to the letter referred to written by the learned Recorder of Dublin. I observe that a Bill has been introduced this Session dealing with the subject of executions for small debts. As soon as the Bill has been circulated, the Government will carefully consider its provisions in connection with the entire question.
