HC Deb 07 June 1883 vol 279 c1930
MR. T. P. O'CONNOR

wished to ask the Chief Secretary for Ireland the Question which he promised to inquire into the other day—namely, Whether there was any truth in the statement that a number of Irish emigrants at North Adam, in Mass, were in a state of destitution?

MR. TREVELYAN

I am glad, Sir, to be able to give the hon. Member the information he requires. I have here a telegram, dated June 6, 1883, from Consul Henderson, Boston, to Earl Granville, in these terms:—"Overseers of poor North Adams reply no truth in report in Standard."
