§ Mr. CLOUGHasked the Attorney-General whether he has any jurisdiction over revising barristers as to where they shall hold their courts; whether he is 120W aware that they are frequently held upon licensed premises; and whether he will issue instructions to revising barristers, or take steps, by legislation or otherwise, to secure that they shall hold their courts, whenever they can conveniently do so, upon premises altogether apart from public-houses and licensed hotels?
§ The ATTORNEY-GENERALI have no jurisdiction over revising barristers, and I am unable to direct them as to where they shall hold their courts. It frequently happens, especially in country districts, that none but licensed premises are available for holding these courts; it is not proposed to issue any instructions to revising barristers on this subject or to introduce legislation of the kind suggested by the hon. Member.
