MR. HINDE PALMERasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department, Whether he is aware of the want of proper accommodation for witnesses who are compelled to be in waiting at the Central Criminal Court; and, whether it is the duty of the Home Office and the Corporation of London, or one of them, to see that arrangements are made for the reasonable convenience of those who are bound to attend at the Central Criminal Court?
§ SIR WILLIAM HARCOURTSir, the Home Office has nothing to do with the matter. It belongs entirely to the Corporation of London. The Corporation, however, I am informed, are conscious of the inconvenience of the present state of things, and have made arrangements to alter it.
