§ MR. ARTHUR O'CONNOR (Donegal, E.)asked Mr. Attorney General, Whether there is any reason of a public nature why Motions in the Chancery Division should not be set down in a list as in the other Courts, and in the 879 Chancery Division itself, during the Long Vacation?
§ THE ATTORNEY GENERAL (Sir RICHARD WEBSTER) (Isle of Wight)In reply to the hon. Member, I have to say that the matter referred to in his Question has often been considered by both the Judges and the Bar of the Chancery Division. There is power in the Court at the present time to make a list of Motions should it be considered necessary in the interests of the despatch of business to do so; but the present system, which enables urgent Motions to be taken at any time, and Motions to be continued from day to day if required, is, in the opinion of the Judges and the Bar, moist conducive to the despatch of business.
