§ MR. WYLDsaid, he rose to ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, If, at any future coroners' inquests which may be held upon the sufferers by colliery accidents, the Government will authorize the attendance of a legal officer to watch the proceedings upon the part of the Crown?
§ SIR GEORGE GREYsaid, the Government did not propose to establish any general rule with that object. The great majority of colliery accidents did not require it, and in certain special cases practical mining engineers had been sent to attend the inquests.
