§ MR. BOTTOMLEYI beg to ask Mr. Attorney-General whether he is aware that 70 per cent, of the cases tried in the King's Bench Division are in respect of sums of £100 and less; and whether he will advise a modification of the Order in Council, issued under the County Court Act, 1903, in order that such cases may be dealt with in the county courts.
§ SIR JOHN WALTONI do not think a modification of the Order in Council would quite meet the case to which the hon. Gentleman calls attention. Legislation would be required, and I am not. prepared to advise at present that that course be adopted.
