HC Deb 24 July 1889 vol 338 c1232

Motion made, and Question proposed, That an Address be presented for Returns from every County Court in England and Wales of the total number of Plaints, &c, entered in each Court from the 1st day of January to the 31st day of December, 1888, both days inclusive, distinguishing those not exceeding £20; those above £20 and not exceeding £50; and those by agreement over £50; and, of the sittings of the County Courts in England and Wales holden before the Judges of such Courts in the year 1888 (in continuation of Parliamentary Paper, No. 211, of Session 1888)."—(Sir George Russell.)

DR. TANNER (Cork, Mid)

I must object to this Motion being taken.

* MR. SPEAKER

On this point I have given my ruling before. This appears on the Paper as an unopposed Return, and is merely in continuation of a previous Parliamentary Paper. I think the objection raised by the hon. Member may be almost described as frivolous.

DR. TANNER

I make the objection to which I am entitled, and I may explain that I do so in consequence of our being treated so badly in reference to the Returns we moved for last year.

* MR. SPEAKER

Order, order! I shall not allow the objection; it is frivolous, and a mere obstruction of the business of the House.

Question put, and agreed to.

House adjourned at ten minutes before Six o'clock.
