§ Colonel YATEasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department if his attention has been called to the continued resolutions passed by boards of guardians throughout the country on the subject of habitual vagrants, and to the fact that many of these vagrants have been convicted as incorrigible rogues; and whether he will take steps to have the law rigidly enforced in these cases, or, if the law is not rigidly enforced, what steps will be taken that the profession or calling of an incorrigible rogue may be put a stop to?
§ Mr. McKENNAThe answer to the first two questions is in the affirmative. As to the third question, I have every reason to believe that the law is rigidly enforced in such cases, and I do not think I can add anything to the reply which I gave on the 29th February last.
