§ MR. TOMLINSON (Preston)I beg to ask the Attorney General whether he is aware that Mr. Justice Grantham recently took some special jury trials in his private room because there was no court available at the Courts of Justice; and also that recently a divisional court, did not sit in consequence of there being no court free; and whether the Government have in contemplation any scheme for increasing the accommodation required for the due and decorous administration of justice?
§ THE ATTORNEY GENERAL (Sir R. WEBSTER,) Isle of WightIt is the fact that on a few occasions which have occurred at very long intervals, when an unusually large number of judges of the Queen's Bench Division have been in town, the 10, or, if necessary, 11 courts permanently provided for their accommodation have not been found sufficient, but I have said it is very rarely that any difficulty arises. No scheme for permanently increasing the accommodation has as yet been under the consideration of the Government.
