THE IRISH JUDGES.

Mr. Napier asked the Attorney-General for Ireland
whether any arrangement had been made to secure the
attendance of a Judge at Chambers in Dublin during the
'circuit which is now fixed to go out at the end of this
• month. He understood that there will be a great deal of
motion business under the New Procedure Act, and that
some arrangement to secure the attendance of a judge in
• bublin during the circuits is desirable.
l'he Attorney General for Ireland would have obtained
- bore accurate information than he was in possession of
the subject referred to, if he had known in sufficent
Lime for making enquiry that the 'question would be
t's addressed to him. No official representation had been
hUle to the Government on the matter. He was aware,
?wever, that the question had been the subject of con-
siderable discussion amongst the members of the judicial
bench and bar of Ireland, but no arrangement, that he was
aware of, was yet made to remedy what no doubt might
:Ilse very Considerable inconvenience. The remedy,
hieh was in the hands of the judges, would no doubt be
?t- great importance and inconvenience, and he suggested
that if the circuit were so arranged that one of the judges
left for circuit earlier than the others, that he would be
a! le to return to Dublin within a day or two, after the
Chief Justice had left for circuit, and then the grievance
complained of would be remedied.

JUDGMENTS EXECUTION EILL•
on the motion for going into committee on this bill,
Mr. 11. G. Hughes proposed that it should be committed
?It.' that day six months, on the ground that the measure,
adopted, would affect injuriously the administration of
' Justice and the principles on which their Common Law
l,tta should proceed in administering the laws of the
lad. The issuing of executions upon a mere memorandum,
e contended, was most unjust to the defendant, who
~71114:1 not he able to make his defence without encounter-
-11.10 difficulty of communicating with the court from
which the memorandum was issued.
Colonel French seconded the amendment.
Hadfield defended the bill, contending that the three
kingdoms being united under one sovereign, the laws of
the aught to apply to all three. He believed that the
Treasure
tradesmann, would be a great boon to the tradesman of
hidgive
and he believed that the great majority of them
suld give it their support.
gr. Whiteside contended that the remedy in this ease
would inflict greater evil than that which it professed to
cure.
` Mr. Bland opposed the bill. The bill was not for
assimilating the laws of the three countries, but to alter
eaell of them. Every facility should be given for the
they gave facilities to fradulent men to pay money they
never owed, and to fraudulent people to give undue
Lreference to one set of creditors to the injury of others.
. elieving such would be the effect of this me asure, he
'l)Posed it.
Colonel Dunn also opposed the bill, and complained of
117'1 - Government not introducing such a measure as if it
ere necessary, but of leaving it to a private member.
Mr. M'Gann said that the Irish merchants and trades-
tne
. II objected to the bill because it would afford facilities
)r collusion with fraudulent debtors.
Sir J. Fitzgerald supported the bill.
A:ter some discussion, in which Mr. M'Mahon, Mr. S.
Warren,x, and Mr. Napier took part,
Roebuck said that it was true that in a civilised
itL.latrY the laws should be alike and have one effect, but
, 8 bill was to give a similar effect to different laws. He
t
• erefore objected to the bill, which commenced at the
,vu?;cng end. They should first make the substantive laws
slue'.L and before that was done, the house ought to scout
°+'h peddling legislation as this. (Hear, hear.)
a,,rrte Lord-Advocate defended the principle of the bill,
in, entered into a history of the measure from its first
Yoduction in 1854 to the present time, and said that the
eniect. of this bill was to give greater effect to the course
j,t,7 Pursued in this country, that of putting in force a
gotent obtained in Scotland without notice to the party,
i'ruvided the proper forms had been complied with.
Spooner said he had not beard any refutation of
fo- arguments urged against the bill, and he should vote
