§ Mr. GATESasked the Home Secretary when he proposes to introduce the Coroners Act Amending Bill; and whether such Bill will extend to the 1640W County of London the provisions of the City of London Fire Inquests Act, 1888?
§ Sir W. JOYNSON-HICKSI hope to introduce a Coroners Bill very shortly. The Bill will not contain any provision for an extension of the system of fire inquests by coroners.
