Supreme Court of Judicature Act (Ireland) 1877

Criminal procedure, subject to future rules, to remain unaltered.

65. Subject to any rules of Court to be made under and by virtue of this Act, the practice and procedure in all criminal causes and matters whatsoever in the High Court of Justice, including the practice and procedure with respect to Crown cases reserved, shall be the same as the practice and procedure in similar causes and matters before the passing of this Act.

In cases on the Crown side of the Queen's Bench Division a writ of error to the House of Lords may issue in like manner any subject to like conditions and permission, and in respect of like proceedings, as such writ would have issued from the Court of Queen's Bench if this Act had not been passed.
