HC Deb 23 March 1875 vol 223 c231
MR. MACDONALD

asked 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.
