HC Deb 27 May 1889 vol 336 c1219

As amended, considered.

MR. T. M. HEALY

I wish to point out the grievance which arises under this Bill. If a judgment is given in a Superior Court it can always be set aside if obtained erroneously, but if in the case of a Civil Bill a judgment is erroneously given, there are absolutely no means of redress. I do, therefore, hope the right hon. Gentleman will accept my Amendment, which has been well considered at a meeting of the Bar in Ireland, and which provides that if a judgment has been obtained in error some means shall be available to set it aside. I wish to move the Amendment which stands in my name.

Amendment proposed— In page 5, line 6, at end of Clause 13, to insert the words "and so much of the ninth section of 'The County Courts Act (Ireland), 1882,' as repealed by the one hundred and twenty-eighth section of the fourteenth and fifteenth years of Victoria, chapter fifty-seven, is hereby repealed"—(Mr. T. M. Healy.)

Question proposed, "That those words be there inserted."

* THE SOLICITOR GENERAL FOR IRELAND (Mr. MADDEN, Dublin University)

I think it would be better to postpone this matter until I have an opportunity of looking into this point.

MR. T. M. HEALY

I shall be willing to take this course.

Motion by leave withdrawn.

Further proceeding deferred till Thursday.
