§ MR. A. J. BALFOURI must ask for notice of the question.
§ MR. SEXTONMay I ask the Solicitor General for Ireland whether a Justice has power to inflict a longer sentence than seven days' imprisonment for contempt of Court?
§ MR. MADDENI cannot answer the question until I know the facts of the case.
