MUNICIPAL CORPORATIONS.

Mr. TUFREEI. esiedtlreiecreiWiloi the Home De-
partment whether it was the intention of the government
to introduce, daring the present serial, aay bill to extend
the provisions of the acts 6 & 7 Win. Iv., cap. WI, 7
Wm. IV., and 1 Vic., c. 78, to municipal corporations not
i included in the schedule to the Municipal Corporations Act,
6 *6 Wm.lV.,c. 76?
Mr. FITZROY was afraid that the state of public busi-
ness would not allow the government to bring in such a
bill this session. If, however, the right hon. gentleman
would introduce a measure on the subject it should receive
the best consideration of the government.
Mr. TUFNELL accordingly gave notice that on Thurs-
day next he would move for leave to bring In a bill on the
subject.

labour; nor could the receiving houses be closed at an
earlier hour at night without inconvenience to the public.
