§ MR. CHILDERSsaid, he wished to ask the Secretary to the Poor Law Board, Whether his attention has been called to the Report of the proceedings at a meeting of the Guardians of St. Luke's Parish last night, at which the clerk to the Board of Guardians was reported to have said that, if one of the nurses was dismissed as 651 proposed, she would demand an investigation by the Poor Law Board, the result of which would be infinitely damaging to the Guardians, as showing the rotten state of things in the workhouse, and that, in consequence, her dismissal was not insisted on; and, whether the Poor Law Board will cause inquiry to be made as to the state of that workhouse?
§ MR. SCLATER-BOOTH, in reply, said, his attention had not been called to that paragraph in The Morning Post until he came down to the House this evening. The statement appeared to be of a very extraordinary character, and he would take care that it should be fully inquired into.
