§ Colonel DAYasked the Attorney-General if his attention has been drawn to the fact that the sitting of the Whit-church (Cardiff) Police Court on the 21st June was adjourned owing to the absence of magistrates; and, in view of the expense incurred by court officials, the police, and persons summoned to the court, will he take such action that will result in the necessary two magistrates being available when the court is summoned?
§ Sir W. JOYNSON-HICKSMy right hon. Friend has asked me to reply. On inquiry, I find that the arrangements at this Court for securing the attendance of Justices for many years have worked satisfactorily, but on this one occasion they broke down because certain Justices on the rota found themselves at the last moment unable to attend and every effort to obtain others proved unsuccessful.
