§ MR. BAILLIE COCHRANEsaid, he rose to call the attention of the House to the circumstance that the daughters of Seamen killed or disabled in the service of the Country do not enjoy the privilege of maintenance and education at Greenwich Hospital.
MR. CORRYsaid, in reply, that under the wording of the statutes the daughters of seamen and marines killed in action would appear to have an equal claim with their sons to share in the funds of the Hospital, It was not the intention of the Admiralty to re-establish a girls' school in connection with Greenwich Hospital, but they were disposed to think that a certain portion of the income of that institution might be appropriated to the purpose of aiding local institutions for the education of the daughters of seamen and marines in the various ports. The question was referred to in the Report of the Greenwich Hospital Committee which would be presented in a few days, when his hon. Friend would see what was proposed.
