MR. ASSHETON CROSS, in moving for leave to bring in a Bill for facilitating the Improvement of the Dwellings of the Working Classes in Large Towns in Scotland, said, that early in the Session he had promised, the moment the Artizans Dwellings Bill for England had received the Royal Assent, that he would introduce a similar measure, precisely on the same terms, applicable to Scotland—of course, on the understanding that it should be passed as it was drawn. He accordingly now moved for leave to bring in the measure referred to.
