HC Deb 19 April 1877 vol 233 c1449
MR. MACDONALD

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department, If he has received any information with respect to the colliers who have been for eight days imprisoned in a mine at Porth; and, if so, whether he will communicate it to the House?

MR. ASSHETON CROSS

I am sorry to say that I have received no information beyond that which has appeared in the newspapers. I telegraphed this morning to see if any further information was available; but up to the present time I have received no reply. The moment I do so I will communicate it to the House.
