§ MR. J. R. YORKEsaid, he wished to ask the Secretary to the Treasury, with reference to a Petition presented some time since by Dr. Leone Levi, Whether any conclusion has yet been arrived at by the Lords of the Treasury on the subject of granting a subsidy to a work published by him, entitled Annals of British Legislation?
§ MR. F. PEEL, in reply, said, the conclusion the Treasury had come to was, that they ought not to propose a subsidy for this publication. If there were any public offices which desired a copy they would have authority to purchase them, but the Treasury was not prepared to purchase copies for distribution in the Colonies and Public Departments as was proposed in the Memorial.
