§ SIR HOWARD VINCENT (Sheffield, Central)To ask Mr. Attorney-General if his attention has been called to the losses inflicted upon the community by fraudulent breaches of trust; and if he can inform the House of the number of persons convicted of this crime in the last four years; and if he proposes to take any preventive action in the matter.
(Answered by Sir Robert Finlay.) I am informed that during the years 1901, 7 1902,1903, and 1904 there were convictions in twenty-two cases of prosecution of fraudulent trustees by the Director of Public Prosecutions. I cannot promise any further legislation on the subject at present.
