HC Deb 17 April 1891 vol 352 c797
MR. M. J. KENNY

I beg to ask the Attorney General for Ireland whether he will consent to commit the Local Registration of Title (Ireland) Bill to the Standing Committee on Law, &c.?

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

The suggestion is one that is deserving of careful consideration, and I shall be glad to confer upon it with hon. Members on beth sides of the House who take an interest in the question.

MR. M. J. KENNY

In the preparation of the Bill was Leach's Report taken into consideration?

MR. MADDEN

As a matter of fact the Bill is, in substance, identical with that which was introduced last year, which was proposed before the Report referred to by the hon. Member was published. In revising the Bill of last year, before re-introducing it, I had regard to this Report, as well as to various suggestions which persons interested in the measure were good enough to offer me.
