§ SIR H. DRUMMOND WOLFF moved for leave to bring in a Bill to explain the effect of section one hundred and ninety-five of "The Municipal Corporations Act, 1882." He said, it was merely to make a small alteration, as some doubt had arisen as to whether municipal magistrates could sentence to fine and imprisonment for making assaults upon the police.
§ Motion agreed to.

§ Bill presented, and read the first time. [Bill 296.]
