HC Deb 03 May 1904 vol 134 c252
MR. HAYDEN (Roscommon, S.)

I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland whether, in view of the fact that there was no criminal business at several recent quarter sessions in the county Roscommon, and of the inconvenience and expense to jurors of being brought long distances without any cause, he will issue instructions to have the county scheduled for the purpose of notifying jurors that they are not required to attend on such occasions as those referred to.

THE CHIEF SECRETARY FOR IRELAND (Mr. WYNDHAM,) Dover

The question of applying the provisions of the Quarter Sessions Jurors' Act of 1897 to the county Roscommon, with the view of obviating the inconveniences pointed out by the hon. Member, is at present before the Lord-Lieutenant in council.
