HC Deb 18 March 1878 vol 238 c1491
MR. HERSCHELL

asked Mr. Attorney General, Whether the Bill for consolidating the Criminal Law announced in Her Majesty's Speech will he soon introduced, insomuch as the probability of passing the measure would be increased by its early introduction even though the Second Reading may have to be postponed for a time?

THE ATTORNEY GENERAL (Sir JOHN HOLKER),

in reply, said, he should take the earliest opportunity which could be afforded him of introducing the measure referred to by the hon. and learned Member.
