SIR MASSEY LOPES

said, he would beg to ask the President of the Poor Law Board, When he proposes to introduce his promised Measure for extending the incidence of Local Taxation?

MR. GOSCHEN

, in reply, said, he regretted that he could not name a day for the introduction of a Bill on this subject. A great amount of work had been thrown on the draftsmen of the Government by the preparation of some very heavy Bills, but he hoped shortly to lay it on the Table.
