§ VISCOUNT CASTLEREAGHI beg to ask Mr. Attorney-General if his attention has been drawn to the fact that certain Liberal and Radical Clubs are in the habit of giving dramatic, variety, and other entertainments on Sunday mornings and evenings; and, if so, whether he is prepared to recommend prosecutions in such cases.
§ SIR W. ROBSONNo, Sir.
§ VISCOUNT CASTLEREAGHWill the hon. and learned Gentleman endeavour to use his influence with his colleagues who hold official positions in these clubs with a view to removing, if possible, a scandal which has found its way into the newspapers?
§ SIR W. ROBSONI do not know the colleagues to whom the noble Lord alludes; and I am not aware that my influence would be effective in the matter at all.
