§ 60. Dr. MORRIS-JONESasked the Attorney-General whether he has considered the representations from Welsh 26 local authorities and other bodies and persons affected in regard to the recent holding of assizes for some of the North Wales counties at Chester; and whether, in view of the inconvenience involved to Welsh litigants and those who act for them, the Government will take into consideration the advisability of changing the venue of the assizes to a town in one of the North Wales counties?
§ The ATTORNEY-GENERAL (Sir William Jowitt)Neither my right hon. Friend [...]he Lord Chancellor nor I have received any such representations. They will certainly receive careful consideration when made.
§ Dr. MORRIS-JONESIs the hon. and learned Gentleman aware that the holding of these assizes at Chester means empanelling a jury from Chester, and, in view of the language difficulty, does he not consider that this is a very serious hardship to the Welsh people?
§ The ATTORNEY-GENERALI cannot help feeling that, if there had been such a serious hardship as the hon. Member suggests, some representations would have been made.
§ Dr. MORRIS-JONESIs the hon. and learned Gentleman aware that there are many communications on the way?
