§ MR. MACDONALDasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department, If he can explain how it was that the Counsel appointed by the Treasury to attend the Tyldesley Explosion did not attend Coroner's Inquest on Saturday; and if he will attend at the next sitting of the jury?
MR. ASSHETON CROSS,in reply, said, that the reason why counsel did not attend the inquest was that there were two inquests, and that consequently fresh counsel had to be engaged, and there was an accident in the post. Counsel would be present at the adjourned inquest.
