HC Deb 03 August 1899 vol 75 cc1298-9
MR. HOGAN

I beg to ask Mr. Solicitor-General, whether the scheme of distribution in connection with the Covent Garden Theatre Fund, recently promised by Mr. Attorney-General, will be presented before the close of the session.

THE SOLICITOR-GENERAL (Sir R. FINLAY,) Inverness Burghs

After careful consideration a scheme was formulated under the direction of the Attorney-General in May last. It would in all probability have already received the sanction of the court, but for unexpected opposition raised by the defendants in the suit. The matter stands in the judge's list for next Monday.
