HC Deb 17 March 1882 vol 267 c1141
MR. ST. AUBYN

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department, Whether, in cases of suspected poisoning, when an analysis is directed to be made, he would consider whether it would not be more satisfactory that the suspected person should have an opportunity of being represented professionally at such analysis?

SIR WILLIAM HARCOURT

The subject is one well deserving of consideration; but the Question was only put upon the Paper last night, and before giving any definite reply to it I should wish to consult the official analyst on the subject.
