§ SIR ROBERT CLIFTONasked the President of the Board of Trade, Whether his attention has been directed to the hardship inflicted upon working men by Master Manufacturers in their charge of rental upon machinery in reduction of their earnings, and in contravention of the principle of the Truck Act; and whether it was his intention to introduce a Bill for remedying that hardship?
§ MR. MILNER GIBSONsaid, he had not received any representations on the subject, and consequently there was no present intention to legislate.
