§ The LORD CHANCELLORMy Lords, I beg to move that this House doth agree with the Commons in their Amendment No. 58. With this Amendment I will speak also to Amendment No. 85. Together, they make some textual changes to the Magistrates' Court (Northern Ireland) Act 1964. The most important of these relate to the provisions of that Act concerning justices of the peace.
