§ 60. Mr. Thorneasked the President of the Board of Trade whether Isaac Isenberg, hosier, of Cutler Street, Houndsditch, who, on 9th March, was fined £7,521 for selling goods in excess of his quota, has paid the fine within the time given him to pay, which expired on Friday, 12th June?
§ Captain WaterhouseAs this man had only paid £500 by 12th June, he was sentenced to three months' imprisonment in respect of the non-payment of the balance of the fine.
§ Mr. ThorneWill going to prison relieve this man of his financial obligation?
§ Captain WaterhouseI should like to have notice of that question, but I think that is the case.
§ Mr. ThorneCan the Leader of the House make a statement as to whether that is the law?
