§ MR. WHALLEYsaid, he would beg to ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, Whether he is prepared to support the Bill now before the House for affording facilities for the voluntary abolition of Turnpike Tolls on Roads and Bridges; and, if not, whether he is prepared to introduce a Bill for dealing with the question otherwise than is proposed by the said Bill?
Mr. BRUCE, in reply, said, he regretted that it was not in his power to support the Bill on the subject of turnpike trusts, which dealt with these trusts in a very imperfect and fragmentary manner. He could not undertake to introduce a Bill during the present Session, but he should be prepared to do so as soon as a fair opportunity occurred of giving it due consideration.
