§ MR. CHANCE (Kilkenny, S.)I beg to ask Mr. Solicitor General for Ireland. whether the procedure under Section 30 of "The Land Law (Ireland) Act, 1887," to obtain a stay of execution and. an instalment order in cases of proceedings for rent usually involves an appearance to the writ, a motion for judgment, a cross motion under the section, both moved on notice by counsel and grounded on affidavits, the marking and registering judgment, and the payment of court fees on the order; 365 whether the costs of a plaintiff in such case usually amounts to about £9, and the defendant's costs to about £5, both of which the tenant defendant has to pay; and, whether the Government intends to take any steps to secure the simplification of procedure and reduction of expense in such cases?
§ MR. MADDENAfter the Easter Recess, perhaps I may be able to give an answer to the question whether it is possible to secure a simplification and reduction of costs in these cases.
