§ 66. Sir E. CARSONasked the Lord Privy Seal, when it is intended to restore the right of trial by jury in civil cases; and whether any reason now exists for depriving the subjects of this long established right which was suspended during the War.
§ Mr. BONAR LAWAs my right hon. Friend knows, the present position will come to an end six months after the termination of the War, and the Government do not think that in these circumstances special legislation is necessary. There are provisions now which enable a jury to be empannelled in special circumstances.
§ Captain REDMONDDoes the right hon. Gentleman's answer apply to Ireland?
§ Mr. BONAR LAWIt applies to whatever part of the country the Bill operates in.
