§ MR. KINNAIRDsaid, he would beg to ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, Whether, in order to enable the Magistrates about to assemble in Quarter Sessions, and others interested in the management of Prisons, to consider the provisions of the Prison Ministers Bill, he will postpone the second reading till after Easter?
§ SIR GEORGE GREY, in reply, said, he had had no representation made to him by English Magistrates who were in the habit of attending Quarter Sessions, and therefore he was unwilling to accede to the request. He would, however, postpone the Bill until next Thursday fortnight.
