§ DR. BREWERsaid, he wished to ask the President of the Poor Law Board, If, before proceeding to unite the parishes of St. Margaret's and St. John's Westminster, to the parish of St. George Hanover Square, he will cause an investigation to be made into the Workhouse accommodation, the debts on account of Poors Rate, and more especially into the general system of management prevailing in the aforesaid parishes?
§ MR. GOSCHENIn reply, Sir, to my hon. Friend, I have to say that I cannot undertake to cause an investigation to be made into the workhouse accommodation in question, because it has already been made. The debts have also been ascertained; they will be discharged by the parishes of St. Margaret's and St. John's, and, of course, no portion of them will fall on the parish of St. George, Hanover Square. It is also unnecessary to inquire into the general system of management prevailing in the aforesaid parishes, because that will be charged on the union of the parishes under the Amalgamation Act, in which amalgamated management very probably my hon. Friend will have a part.
