§ MR. WILBRAHAM EGERTONsaid, he wished to ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, Whether he intends to bring in a Bill during the present 1764 Session to alter the scale of Allowances to Witnesses at the Assizes and Sessions?
SIR GEORGE LEWISsaid, he could only repeat the answer he had given on a former occasion, namely, that he was ready to ask leave to bring in a Bill to enable the counties to make from the county funds any addition which the magistrates might deem fit for the purpose in question.
