§ MR. MCCARTANI beg to ask Mr. Attorney General for Ireland, whether he is aware that in England there are 83 district registries where writs of summons can be issued, and that in Ireland; such writs can only be issued in Dublin; and, whether, considering the very large number of writs of summons issued in respect of parties living in the city of Belfast and the adjoining counties, and having regard to the convenience of suitors and the speedy service frequently required in such cases, he will consider the desirability of having a district registry for the purpose established in Belfast?
§ THE ATTORNEY GENERAL FOR IRELAND (Mr. JOHN ATKINSON,) Londonderry, N.I believe the number of district registries in England is correctly stated in the Question; but, without fresh legislation—for which I am not aware there is any pressing necessity—district registries cannot be established in Ireland.
