HC Deb 30 April 1896 vol 40 c219
SIR CAMERON GULL (Devon, Barnstaple)

I beg to ask Mr. Attorney General, whether it is the fact that the recently appointed County Court Judges have retained the Recorderships respectively held by them while at the Bar; and, whether he will explain the reason for this departure from recently established practice?

THE ATTORNEY GENERAL (Sir RICHARD WEBSTER,) Isle of Wight

The Lord Chancellor does not know which County Court Judges have, and which have not, resigned Recorderships. There is no Statutory Prohibition. The Lord Chancellor has not departed from any practice, recent or otherwise.
