SIR MORTON PETO

said, he would beg to ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, If he can inform the House why the Corporation of the City of London have not proceeded to construct the Dead Meat Market in Smithfield, for which an Act was obtained in the year 1860?

SIR GEORGE GREY

, in reply, said, he had possessed no means of answering the question, or giving the hon. Baronet the information he required; but that afternoon he had received a letter from the City Solicitor, written in consequence of that gentleman having seen the hon. Baronet's notice; and if the hon. Baronet moved for the letter, he would produce it.
