HC Deb 21 June 1858 vol 151 c83
MR. G. CLIVE

said, he would beg to ask whether it is the intention of the Board of Trade to institute any inquiry as to the cause of the loss of the Candace African steamer?

MR. HENLEY

said, it was true this unfortunate vessel was run down by a Dutch vessel bound for Batavia, and several lives were lost. The Board of Trade, under the circumstances, had not thought it necessary to institute legal proceedings, as it was the intention of the survivors to do so, and that he had no doubt would be of a very searching description.
