§ MR. PICKERSGILL (Bethnal Green, S.W.)asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department, What were the terms of Sir Charles Warren's letter to Sir James Ingham, bearing date 16th October, on the subject of magisterial comments on police orders?
§ THE SECRETARY OF STATE (Mr. MATTHEWS) (Birmingham, E.)The effect of the letter of Sir Charles Warren of the 16th of October, 1886, was that it would be very desirable that learned magistrates, when they disagree with the orders given to the police by the Commissioner, should communicate officially either with him or with the Secre- 1346 tary of State, instead of only making their comments in open Courts and leaving the Commissioner to ascertain whether the Press has correctly reported the magistrate.
