SIR HOWARD VINCENTTo ask Mr. Attorney-General if his attention has been called to the increasing frequency of 1447 cases of breach of trust and the fraudulent application of trust funds, and to the suffering thereby entailed; and, if so, will he take any steps for the prevention of this class of crime by furthering the legislation proposed to Parliament for many years past for the establishment of a public trustee and executor, or in enforcing the adoption of The Judicial Trustees Act, 1896.
(Answered by Sir Robert Finlay.) My attention has been called to the frequency of cases of this description. The matter has been under consideration, but I am not able at present to make any statement as to possible legislation of the nature suggested in the Question.
