HC Deb 29 April 1897 vol 48 c1337

On the order for the Second Reading of this Bill,

MR. KNOX

asked for an explanation of its objects.

THE ATTORNEY GENERAL FOR IRELAND (Mr. J. ATKINSON, Londonderry, N.)

said that on the introduction of the Bill he made a full statement of its purpose and effect. It simply gave an appeal from the decision of the Queen's Bench to the Court of Appeal in Ireland in cases stated in four particular classes, namely, on questions of Rating under the Salmon Fisheries Acts, under the Railways Acts, and under the Civil Courts Procedure Acts.

Bill read a Second time, and committed for Monday next.
