§ Mr. STEADMANasked the Home Secretary if, in view of the facts placed before him in Towers' case, he will state upon what grounds this man is deprived of his licence and consequently of the means of earning his living; and if he will grant him his mechanical licence?
§ Mr. GLADSTONEI do not think it would be desirable to enter into the details of this case. The Commissioner's action was taken in the public interest, and I regret that I must adhere to the decision given in my answer of the 19th instant.
