§ MR. ST. AUBYNsaid, he would beg to ask the President of the Poor Law Board, Whether it is his intention to introduce a Bill, during the present Session, to provide for the assessment of Metalliferous Mines to the Poor Rate and other local rates?
§ MR. GOSCHEN, in reply, said, a Bill of that kind was under consideration; but it was doubtful whether the pressure of Business would allow the Government to introduce it to the House this Session.
