§ MR. KEIR HARDIEI beg to ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department what is the total number of Magistrates for the borough of Hull; the number of these who are shipowners, dock directors, or are otherwise pecuniarily interested in shipping; and the number of working-men Magistrates?
§ MR. ASQUITHIf the hon. Member would refer to the Return moved for by the right hon. Member for West Birmingham in June, 1892, he would find that the total number of Magistrates in Hull was at that date 38, four of whom were shipowners and 19 had shares, or were pecuniarily interested, in ships or companies owning ships. I cannot say how many (if any) of the Magistrates are dock directors. I believe that there are no working-men Magistrates. A Return showing the professions or descriptions of all Justices is in course of preparation.
