All I can do is to repeat what I have said as to the pledge which my right hon. Friend gave when he introduced the Bill. If the Amendment for rejection were passed it would have an effect precisely the opposite to that which the hon. Members desire. They desire still further to enlarge the existing right to trial by jury, beyond what is provided by this Bill. The Government think that in the small cases to which I have referred the law as it existed before the War could, with advantage, be altered. That is the sole question before the House. If this Bill is rejected the right to trial by jury will be limited to the right which exists to-day. If the Second Beading is accepted, as I hope it will be, the right to trial by jury as it exists will be enlarged. The hon. Member for West Woolwich asked if this proposal had been approved by any societies or learned Judges. If he will refer to the Debate in 1920, when the present Lord Chief Justice introduced a Bill in a speech of about 12 lines, he will see that the Lord Chief Justice said that the Judges were in favour of the proposals in that Bill. As admittedly this Bill goes far beyond the Bill of 1920 in restoring the right of trial by jury perhaps the same approval of the Judges will apply to this. The criticism of Lord Justice Bankes, which has been mentioned, dealt with the Act of 1920, and not with this Bill. Therefore, in spite of the natural anxiety lest the traditional rights of British citizens should be cut down, which can be more fully discussed in Committee, I hope that the House will give a Second Beading to this Bill, which has been designed to make reforms in the administration of justice, of which this particular Clause is only one section.
