§ MR. LODERasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department, Whether he received, on the 10th of September last, a communication from a committee appointed by the peaceful inhabitants of Worthing, calling his attention to the proceedings of the Salvation Army in that town, and suggesting a means of preventing the disturbance arising out of such proceedings; and, if so, what course he proposes to take in reference to the matter?
§ SIR WILLIAM HARCOURTI have received a communication on this subject. I am aware of the inconveniences 617 which have been caused, and the documents referred to proposes certain methods of dealing with these and other processions; but that is a very delicate and difficult matter, and I confess I do not see my way to do anything upon it. Speaking generally, I do not think it is a good thing to legislate for particular cases which have caused temporary inconvenience. The wisest thing very often is to expect what generally happens—that it will blow over.
