HC Deb 30 April 1885 vol 297 c1102
SIR TREVOR LAWRENCE

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department, Whether the magistrates sitting in the Wandsworth Police Court, Mr. Paget and Mr. Shiel, have written to him to say that, in their opinion, the existing state of the Court is "a disgrace to the Metropolis, and calculated to bring the administration of the Law into contempt;" and, whether he can now state the nature of the arrangements which have been made for the removal of the Court to more commodious premises?

SIR WILLIAM HARCOURT,

in reply, said, that the Treasury had sanctioned the expenditure of certain sums on the Police Court in question; and he had requested the First Commissioner of Works to take the matter in hand, and see what was best to be done.
