§ MR. PLIMSOLLasked the President of the Board of Trade, In how many cases, if any, a ship has been detained for survey on a requisition signed by one-fourth of the crew?
§ SIR CHARLES ADDERLEY, in reply, said, a Return giving the information asked for by the hon. Gentleman was laid on the Table on the first day of the Session. In 22 cases ships had been detained on the application of one-fourth of the crew. In 16 cases ships had not been detained, in consequence of such complaints being considered frivolous by the Court.
