§ MR. T. W. RUSSELL (Tyrone, S.)I beg to ask the Attorney General for Ireland whether it is true that an Order has recently been issued by the Irish Judges, directing in future, whether there be business for special jurors at Assizes or not, that the attendance of 48 special jurors be required?
§ MR. MADDENI cannot find that any Order has been made by the Irish Judges in reference to summoning of special jurors; but I am informed that the attention of the Sheriffs in one or two counties, where an illegal custom had grown up of not summoning special jurors, has been directed to the requirements of the law, with a view that they should take the necessary steps to have special jurors in attendance at Assizes.
