§ MR. MACDONALDasked the President of the Board of Trade, If his attention has been called to the "Nuphar," which sailed from North Shields, laden with coal, with only 2 feet 3 inches of clear side (instead of at least 4 feet), and having 18 feet 2 inches depth of hold; and if any and what steps were taken to prevent her sailing in that state?
§ SIR CHARLES ADDERLEY, in reply, said, the Nuphar was one of the three cases he had already mentioned. This vessel was detained and lightened.
