§ MR. G. BANKESwished to put a question to the Attorney General, whether he had any objection to produce to the House the opinion which he had given to the Poor Law Commissioners on the subject of the Poor Removal Act of last Session.
The ATTORNEY GENERALreplied, that so far as he was personally concerned, he should have no objection to produce the opinion, if he had it to produce; but, in point of fact, he had it not, nor had he any recollection of it. He might add, that he believed it was not usual, either there or elsewhere, to give to others the opinion of counsel; nor for the person who had given the opinion to produce it. He had no control over the opinion in question, having once parted with it.
§ MR. G. BANKESgave notice that he would, to-morrow, move for the opinion given to the Poor Law Commissioners—both the case and opinion.
