HC Deb 25 February 1897 vol 46 c1129
MR. MACALEESE

I beg to ask the Attorney General for Ireland if he could undertake to bring about such a change in the law as would provide that the hotel expenses and cost of travelling of common jurors, in attendance at Assizes and Quarter Sessions Courts in Ireland, should be borne by the Imperial Exchequer?

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

The question of the payment of Jurors is one which must, I think, be dealt with in a general Measure applicable to the three Kingdoms, if dealt with at all. I cannot, therefore, give the undertaking asked for by the hon. Member.
