HC Deb 12 March 1863 vol 169 c1324
GENERAL BUCKLEY

said, he wished to ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, Whether his attention has been called to the manner in which the streets were kept in the City on Saturday last; and, if so, whether it is the intention of Her Majesty's Government to make any alteration in the Police Force, so as to place the whole Force of the Metropolis under the management of Sir Richard Mayne?

SIR GEORGE GREY

—I am sorry that my hon. and gallant Friend had not given notice of the Question he has asked. My attention has only been called by the public statements I have seen in the newspapers with regard to the crowded state of the streets when the Princess Alexandra passed through the City, and the absence of any efficient regulations for keeping the streets clear on that occasion. Those statements I have heard confirmed by gentlemen who were present, but the subject has not received any consideration from Her Majesty's Government as yet.
