§ MR. T. H. BOLTON (St. Pancras, N.)I beg to ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department 592 whether he will inform the House what he proposes to do with reference to the suggestion that certain Police Courts, in the Metropolis should be re-arranged, with a view to the establishment of a Police Court in St. Pancras?
§ MR. MATTHEWSIt is my intention to refer to a Departmental Committee the question of the proper number and limits of the Police Court Districts of the Metropolis. It must not, however, be understood that this committee will be appointed necessarily with a view to the establishment of a Police Court in the St. Pancras area, where the Police Court business is not exceptionally heavy.
