§ MR. RUSSELL GURNEYasked the First Commissioner of Works, Whether his attention has been called to the utterly insufficient accommodation at the Bow Street Police Court, and, when a now Court is likely to be provided, for which £10,000 was voted by Parliament in the last Session of Parliament?
LORD HENRY LENNOX,in reply, said, the attention of the Office of Works had for two years been constantly called to the insufficient accommodation at Bow Street Police Court. It was true that a sum of money had been expended last year under the sanction of Parliament towards the purchase of a new site in Castle Street, Leicester Square; but the Secretary of State for the Home Department had requested him to cease looking to that site, as another part of London would be more convenient for carrying on the Police duties of the Metropolis.
