HC Deb 19 October 1899 vol 77 c248
MR. SWIFT MACNEILL

I beg to ask the First Lord of the Treasury whether any appointment has yet been made to the judgeship in the Chancery Division, which has been recently created under the provisions of the Judicature Act, 1876, in accordance with an Address of the Houses of Parliament to the Throne; and whether the name of the gentleman recommended by the Lord Chancellor to fill this office can now be notified to the House of Commons.

MR. A. J. BALFOUR

I understand that the answer to this question is in the negative.
