§ MR. W. H. JAMESasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department, If his attention has been called to the verdict of a jury at an adjourned inquest on the body of Mary Walsh, at the Police Court at Jarrow, on the 27th instant; whether such verdict was to the effect that the deceased died from the effects of chronic lead poisoning, contracted while following her employment; and, whether he has directed a special Report of the Inspector of Factories to be made upon the case; and, if so, whether he would consent to lay it upon the Table of the House?
§ MR. HIBBERT, in reply, said, it appeared that at the works where the 866 woman in question was employed every protection was given to the workpeople.
