§ MR. FIELDI beg to ask Mr. Attorney General for Ireland, whether, in view of the recent decision of the Queen's Bench in the case of Murphy v. Midland Great Western Company, the Government will take steps, by legislation or otherwise, to have the conditions modified.
§ THE ATTORNEY GENERAL FOR IRELAND (Mr. ATKINSON,) Londonderry, N.The Judges of the Queen's Bench Division differed in opinion, the majority deciding against the Company on the validity of the condition in the consignment note. I understand an appeal has been or is about to be lodged. Pending the decision of the appeal no undertaking can be given to take the steps suggested.
