MR. FIELD (Dublin, St. Patrick)I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland whether he is aware that the Dublin Mercantile Association has been asking for years that the County Courts in Ireland should hold more frequent sittings; and whether anything is being done to give the same legal facilities in Ireland as exists in Great Britain?
§ MR. GERALD BALFOURRepresentations have been made to the effect stated in the first paragraph. Orders have been made from time to time for the holding of additional Civil Bill Courts in the counties of Armagh, Cavan, Galway, Mayo, Sligo, Tyrone, and Water ford. Additional sittings of these courts have also been provided in the cities of Dublin and Belfast.
