§ GENERAL FRASER (Lambeth, N.)asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department, Whether he will be prepared to include in the Schedule of those householders in London whom he proposes to compensate in the "Compensation Bill" the residents in North Lambeth, who suffered, on the 21st ultimo, equally with those at the West End from the riotous proceedings of the mob?
THE SECRETARY OF STATE (Mr. CHILDERS) (Edinbugh, S.)The residents in North Lambeth will not be included among those entitled to compensation under the proposed Bill. The Government are of opinion that the disturbances of the 8th ultimo were of such an exceptional nature as to render special legislation desirable; but I cannot undertake to extend the provisions of the Bill to other occurrences of a less special character.
