§ MR. SCHWANNI beg to ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department what is the number of convictions for drunkenness, with and without violence, in England, Scotland, Ireland, and Wales respectively for the financial year, April 1889 to April 1890?
§ MR. MATTHEWSThe judicial statistics for England and Wales give the Returns of convictions for drunkenness classed together under the heading, "Drunkenness and Drunk and Disorderly Conduct." The number of such convictions for England and Wales for the year ended September 29, 1889, was 156,634. I am not yet in possession of the figures for the period ended April 1890. For figures relating to Ireland and Scotland application should be made to the Scotch and Irish Offices respectively.
§ MR. SCHWANNIf the right hon. Gentleman has the figures separately for each county, will he give them in a future Return?
§ MR. MATTHEWSI will consider that question.
