§ MR. A. O'CONNOR (Donegal, E.)I beg to ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether he will consider the desirability of amending the law so as to prohibit the taking in pledge by any pawnbroker of charity clothing marked as such?
§ MR. MATTHEWSThe law already provides for the return to the true owners of goods unlawfully pawned, and I am not aware of any necessity for making exceptional legislation in respect to charity property.
