§ 57. Mr. DAYasked the Home Secretary whether his attention has been drawn to a case heard recently at Ongar, Essex, when Witham Gayford, who was out with a party of shooters, was summoned for carrying a gun without licence, which gun belonged to one of the party; and, in view of the state of the law governing this offence, if he will consider the appointment of a Departmental Committee to consider this Act, with the view of introducing amending legislation?
§ Sir W. JOYNSON-HICKSMy attention had not been drawn to the case. On inquiry, find that the facts are not as suggested, and I do not think that the second part of the question arises.
