§ COLONEL BARTTELOTsaid, he wished to ask the President of the Poor Law Board, Whether it is the intention of the Poor Law Board to institute an inquiry into the death of Mary Allen, who lately died in St. Pancras Workhouse, under circumstances which caused an inquest to be held, as reported in "The Times" of July 7th; and, whether the Poor Law Board intend to hasten the furnishing of the new parish Infirmary at Highgate?
§ MR. GOSCHENsaid, in reply, that it was the intention of the Poor Law Board to institute an inquiry into the subject referred to by his hon. and gallant Friend. With regard to the second part of the Question, he might say that the hastening of the new parish Infirmary at Highgate must depend rather upon the action of the contractor who had undertaken the works, and of the guardians. The Poor Law Board had issued all the orders and had approved of the plans, and the building was now in progress. With that the action of the Poor Law Board was at an end.
