§ MR. BRYCEasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department, Whether he has ascertained if it is the case that the Act prohibiting the payment of wages in public-houses, passed last Session, is being evaded to a considerable extent in some parts of London; and, whether, if such is the case, he will take steps to have the Law enforced?
§ SIR WILLIAM HARCOURT, in reply, said, there appeared to have been some cases in which the law prohibiting the payment of wages in public-houses had not been observed. The persons had been warned upon the subject, and he was informed that the police had orders to see that the law was strictly observed.
