§ MR. ALDENI beg to ask Mr. Attorney-General whether his attention has been called to competitions which are at present taking place in several weekly papers, the prizes for which are based on the sweepstake principle; and, if so, whether, in view of- the law against lotteries, he proposes to take any action in the matter.
§ THE ATTORNEY-GENERAL (Sir JOHN WALTON, Leeds, S.)I cannot express any opinion upon the materials before me, but if my hon. friend will bring the subject before the Director of Public Prosecutions it will receive attention.
