HC Deb 21 May 1896 vol 41 c80
MR. R. G. WEBSTER

I beg to ask the Attorney General whether he is in a position to state what decision the Judges have arrived at regarding their consideration of the system by which election petitions are now tried?

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

said, he was not in a position to state the final results of the recommendations of the Judges in regard to the system by which election petitions were tried, but the whole matter would be inquired into by a Committee. In these circumstances it was not desirable to make any statement on the subject.
