HC Deb 14 November 1916 vol 87 cc637-8W
Mr. LYNCH

asked the Chief Secretary whether he can give the statutory authority which enables a resident magistrate in Ireland to exclude from the hearing of a case justices of the peace who are-actually sitting on the Bench with him?

Mr. DUKE

I believe this matter is under consideration by judges of the-King's Bench Division in Ireland after, as I am told, a very full argument. All my own information about it was stated in answer-to a question of the hon. Member on the 7th instant.
