§ MR. COGHILL (Newcastle-under-Lyme)asked Mr. Attorney General, Whether he will this Session introduce a Bill for taking, in Civil Cases, a verdict by the majority of the jurors, to put an end to the great dissatisfaction that is felt by the public at long and protracted legal proceedings so frequently terminating without any verdict being arrived at by the jury?
§ THE ATTORNEY GENERAL (Sir RICHARD WEBSTER) (Isle of Wight)I cannot undertake to introduce a Bill to deal with the subject during the present Session.
