§ MR. A. MILLSasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department, Whether it is the intention of the Government to introduce any Bill to amend the Municipal Corporations Borough Funds Act passed in 1872?
MR. ASSHETON CROSS, in reply, said, the subject had been under the consideration of the Government for some time; but he had been specially asked not to announce the determination which had been come to upon it until he had received some gentlemen from the North of England who particularly wished to see him respecting it. He should be prepared early next week to state the views of the Government relative to the question.
