§ MR. WHALLEYsaid, he would beg to ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, Whether it is the intention of the Government to introduce any Bill for continuing the Tax known as Turnpike Tolls in those cases where the original Act empowering the levying such Tax on the public has expired; and, if so, whether such Bill will be introduced at an earlier period of the Session than heretofore?
§ MR. KNATCHBULL-HUGESSEN, in reply, said, he was afraid that the system of bringing in these Turnpike Tolls Continuance Acts must be endured for some time longer by his hon. Friend and himself, however liable to objection they might think it, as great injustice would be done in many individual cases if the Acts of trusts in debt were allowed suddenly to expire. As to the period of the Session when the Bill would be introduced, he would give his early attention to the subject, so that those hon. Members who desired to discuss it should be placed at no disadvantage.
