§ BARON HENRY DE WORMSasked Mr. Attorney General, Whether it is not 880 a fact that, under the decision of Justices Lindley and Matthew, in the case of the Queen v. Edwards, the parish of Woolwich was put to an expense of £1,200 in the interment of the bodies of those drowned in the lamentable accident caused by the running down of the "Princess Alice;" and, whether he will introduce a Bill to remove such a heavy liability by extending section 1 of 48 Geo. 3, c. 75, to bodies which should be found, thrown in, or cast on shore from the sea, or from any river?
§ THE ATTORNEY GENERAL (Sir HENRY JAMES)I will consider the subject if the hon. Member will communicate with me in reference to it.
