HC Deb 28 July 1909 vol 8 c1163
Mr. GINNELL

asked the Chief Secretary whether his attention has been called to cases in which a sub-sheriff carrying out an eviction has refused when asked to read or produce the authority under which he acted; and, in view of the inability of persons so treated, owing to their poverty, to bring actions, does he propose to correct in any way the practice in question?

Mr. BIRRELL

My attention has not been called to any case of the kind, nor have I any controlling power in such matters.
