HC Deb 20 February 1849 vol 102 c938
MR. HUME

, seeing the Attorney General in his place, wished to know whether Government were taking any steps to reform the nuisance existing in the Palace Court, respecting which some anxiety existed?

The ATTORNEY GENERAL

said, that the subject was not within his province. It more properly belonged to the Lord Steward of the Household; but in consequence of a communication which that noble Lord had done him the honour to make to him on this subject, a measure would be introduced, which he hoped would be effectual to remedy the evils complained of.
