§ MR. NICOLLsaid, he would beg to ask the Secretary for the Home Department, if it is the intention of the Government to introduce, during this Session, a Bill to alter the existing system for Licensing places intended for Public entertainment?
§ MR. WALPOLEsaid, that a great many applications had been made to him since he accepted office with reference to the question of the hon. Gentleman, and on Friday next a large deputation would be received at the Home Office upon the same subject. Until he had had an opportunity of considering the suggestions of that deputation he wished to be excused from giving any opinion upon the matter; but as soon as possible afterwards, he would announce to the House what course the Government intended to take on the subject.
