§ MR. OCTAVIUS MORGAN (Battersea)asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department, Whether he has yet considered the Memorial of the Wandsworth Board of Works of 17th March 1097 last, asking that the Police Court now stationed at Wandsworth should be transferred to a more central locality, and in closer proximity to Clapham Junction Railway Station; that in future the magistrate should hold his Court during the whole day instead of, as at present, for a half day, and then at an uncertain hour, which does not allow sufficient time for the proper administration of justice?
§ THE SECRETARY OF STATE (Mr. MATTHEWS) (Birmingham, E.)Yes, Sir; I have carefully considered this Memorial. The whole question of the sufficiency of the Police Courts establishments in the Metropolis is under the consideration of the Government; and I trust that some means may be found of overcoming the financial difficulties with which this question is beset.
