HC Deb 05 July 1883 vol 281 c471
MR. MACFARLANE

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department, If his attention has been called to the case of Benjamin Thompson, who was sentenced at the Bradford Police Court to two months' imprisonment for using putrid horse flesh in the manufacture of potted meat; and, if it would be consistent with the prison regulations that this prisoner should be fed, during his temporary retirement from business, upon his own preserved provisions?

SIR WILLIAM HAROOURT

I suppose the hon. Member does not expect a serious answer to this Question.
