HL Deb 23 February 1852 vol 119 cc881-2
LORD BROUGHAM

said, he had taken into consideration certain suggestions which had been offered to him by some of his noble and learned Friends with respect to the County Courts further Extension Bill, and having also had some communication with County Court Judges, he was happy to say he thought they had been enabled to frame a clause which would meet the difficulty pointed out by a noble Friend of his, without falling into any other difficulty, on the important subject of costs. The ninth clause of the Bill had been by some thought to be sufficient, but it was not really sufficient, and it would be necessary to frame a different provision on the subject. At the bringing up of the Report he would propose a clause to meet the difficulty that had arisen on this important question.
