§ MR. HIBBERTasked the President of the Local Government Board, Whether, before the Second Reading of the County Boards Bill, he can give a nominal Return of the Petty Sessional Districts in each county, with the population and the number of guardians in each such district; also the total number of representatives to be elected in each county, specifying the number to be elected by the magistrates, by the various classes of boroughs, and by the guardians?
§ MR.SCLATER-BOOTHTwo tabular statements have been prepared, the first showing the number of petty sessional divisions in each county and the number of members who would serve on the various county boards according to the plan of the County Boards Bill; the second contains a list of unions and petty sessional divisions in each county. A 821 nominal Return of the several petty sessional divisions can likewise be given. I will move for all of these on Monday, and they will be distributed in a few days. As regards the parishes and places in each petty sessional division, there is no later information than a Return of 1870, and there have been changes since that time. Without such a Return freshly obtained we cannot give the population of each petty sessional district; but the information given by the Census may be assumed to be approximately accurate.
