HC Deb 28 February 1898 vol 54 cc154-5
THE UNDER SECRETARY OF STATE FOR THE HOME DEPARTMENT (Mr. JESSE COLLINGS,) Birmingham, Bordesley

I beg to ask leave to bring in a Bill to amend the Metropolitan Police Courts Act (1807). The object of this Bill is simply to remedy a mistake or two in I he Act of last year. Hon. Gentlemen will remember that by that Bill certain fees and lines levied at the police courts were paid into the Metropolitan Police Fund, but there was another class of fines which were included, and which ought not to have been included, and it is to remedy that small but rather important matter that this Bill is sought to be passed.

Leave was granted, and the Bill was read a first time; to be read a second time upon Thursday, and to be printed. [Bill 103.]
