§ MR. LOCKE KINGsaid, he wished to ask Mr. Attorney General, What progress has been made in the revision of the Statute Law, and how soon an Expurgated List of Statutes will be presented to Parliament?
THE SOLICITOR GENERALsaid, in reply, that the statutes down to the 10th Geo. III. had been already revised, and there was a Bill in preparation for the expurgation of statutes from that time to the present. The gentlemen employed upon the work had already prepared a statement showing the precise condition of every statute down to the end of last Session, and a revised edition of the statutes was now being printed.
