§ Mr. Wilksbegged to ask whether the noble Lord, the Secretary of State for the Home Department, had yet been able to consider the state of the Corporation of the City of London, and to determine on any measure for its reformation? All the other corporate bodies in England of any importance had been reformed by the Act passed last Session; but the great and giant abuse of the Metropolitan Corporation remained unaffected by that measure.
§ Lord J. Russellwas understood to answer, that he could not prepare a Bill for that object before he received the Report of the Commissioners relative to that particular Corporation.
