§ MR. WEIRI beg to ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether his attention has been called to the recent decision of Mr. Hannay, at the Marlborough Street Police Court, in the case of the Reverend A. E. Clementi Smith, who was summoned for removing from the window of an omnibus a printed notice which intercepted the view of the passengers; and whether, having regard to the fact that the magistrate ruled that it is illegal to affix advertisments in an omnibus in such a manner as to obstruct the veiw of passengers, will steps be taken to require the proprietors of omnibuses to comply with the law on the subject?
§ SIR MATTHEW WHITE RIDLEYMy attention has been called to this case The police, however, are quite aware of the law on the subject, and steps are duly taken to enforce it.
