§ MR. LANIGANsaid, he rose to ask the President of the Poor Law Board, Whether he has any objection to produce (and, if not, when he will lay upon the Table of the House) Copies of the Order of Removal made and the Examinations taken by the Magistrate, and of the Notice served or sent by the Poor Law Officials of St. Pancras to the Thurles Board of Guardians, previous to the removal of the poor woman, Mary Carter, to Ireland?
§ MR. C. P. VILLIERSThe order of removal and the examinations taken by the magistrate were not in his hands when he made his answer to the statement of the hon. Gentleman the other evening. The hon. Gentleman did not communicate with him previously, and he could act only on the authority of what he found on the paper. But he directed the Inspector to proceed to the Parochial Board of St. Pancras for the purpose of making what inquiries he could as to the particular case. Since that time he had received an ample statement of the case, which seemed to be one of an unusual kind; a Commissioner was directed to proceed to Thurles, where this unfortunate person was residing, in order to verify her statement on oath. He had that morning received her deposition, which repeated, to a great extent, the statement she had made. That additional document gave him authority to call on the Directors of the Poor of St. Pancras to meet the statement, which would bring the whole matter before his notice officially. The hon. Gentleman might either call and inspect the documents at the Poor Law Department, or, if he was desirous of having copies of them, they should be furnished.
