HC Deb 05 March 1878 vol 238 c759
MR. RODWELL

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department, Whether, owing to the abolition of prisons in certain places, any change will be made in the holding of Assizes and Quarter Sessions?

MR. ASSHETON CROSS,

in reply, said, it was not intended to make any change. The Government, under the Prisons Act, were bound to convey the prisoners for trial backwards and forwards.
