§ MR. TULLY (Leitrim, S.)I beg to ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether his attention has been directed to the case of a man named Catterall, who was charged at Croydon on Saturday with brawling, and whether, as the defendant admitted the charge, and the majority of the magistrates dismissed the case, he will follow the Irish precedent, and direct the Public Prosecutor to send a Bill to the grand jury against Catterall.
§ MR. RITCHIEI have seen a report of the case, but it appears not to be one in which I can interfere with the jurisdiction of the magistrates.
