§ THE LORD CHANCELLOR (Lord HERSCHELL), in moving the Second Reading of this Bill, remarked that it was before the House last Session, and explained that its object was to abolish the Court in Cornwall known as the Court of the Vice-Warden of the Stannaries, and to transfer to the County Courts all jurisdiction and powers of the Stannaries Court. It had, he said, been suggested that it might be desirable to make special provisions with regard to the hearing of mining cases after the business of the Stannaries Court was transferred to the County Courts, and he promised to see what could be done as to this.
§ Bill read 2a.
