HC Deb 27 May 1879 vol 246 cc1353-4
CAPTAIN PIM

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department, When the Return of the proceedings at the "Princess Alice" inquest will be laid upon the Table of the House?

MR. ASSHETON CROSS

I have had a communication from the Coroner, informing me that the Return of the proceedings will be one of great length—probably 5,000 folios; and he wants to know who is to bear the cost of making it. I have no means of paying that expense; but I have written to him again to say that the Order of the House must be obeyed.
