HC Deb 01 June 1849 vol 105 c1030

In reply to a question by MR. CARDWELL,

MR. LABOUCHERE

stated, that the result of the investigation which had been made by Captain Denham had established the necessity of the Board of Trade exercising its power to limit the number of passengers carried in the steamers trading between Ireland and England; but before carrying that power into effect, he was desirous that the report should be printed, in order that the steamboat proprietors might be made acquainted with what was proposed to be done.

Subject at an end.
