§ VISCOUNT MILTONsaid, he would beg to ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, If it is true that the Government do not intend to take into consideration the necessity of holding Assizes at some convenient place within the Southwestern Division of Yorkshire?
§ MR. GATHORNE HARDYsaid, he had answered two days ago a somewhat similar Question put to him by the noble Lord. A Commission was now taking into consideration all the circumstances connected with the discharge of judicial business, and, pending the inquiry by that Commission, he did not think it would be convenient to establish any new Assize town.
§ VISCOUNT MILTONsaid, he wanted to know whether the right hon. Gentleman would consider the question?
§ MR. GATHORNE HARDYsaid, he would defer the consideration of the matter pending the inquiry by the Commission.
