HL Deb 20 March 1902 vol 105 cc525-6

Order of the day for the Second Reading read.

The LORD CHANCELLOR OF IKE-LAND (Lord ASHBOURNE)

My Lords, this Bill proposes to amend the law and practice in the County Courts in Ireland, and it deals largely with matters of detail which are of interest and importance to those concerned in the administration of those Courts. I introduced the Bill last year, and it passed through all its stages in this House, being substantially amended in its progress. The Bill, which I am now asking your Lordships to read a second time, is in precisely the same form as the Bill which left this House last year, with the exception of some drafting Amendments to one clause.

Bill read 2a (according to Order), and committed to a Committee of the Whole House on Tuesday, the 22nd of April next.
