§ SIR EARDLEY WILMOTasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department, If it is the intention of Her Majesty's Government to bring in next Session the Bill so often promised for the appointment of a Public Prosecutor, or any other measure having for its object the amelioration of the Law regarding the prosecution of crime?
MR. ASSHETON CROSS, in reply, said, he had stated some time ago that he intended before the close of the Session to introduce a Bill with reference to Coroners, and he still proposed to do so, in order that it might be printed and discussed in the Recess, with a view to its being referred to a Select Committee next Session. A Bill had also been prepared for the purpose of dealing with the appointment of Public Prosecutors, and he thought it might be a wise course to refer that Bill to the same Committee.
