§ MR. CHANNING (Northampton, E.)asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department, Whether he has received further information as to the case of John Cox, the signalman recently sentenced at Taunton to six months' imprisonment for an error, which would have been made impossible if the Somerset and Dorset Railway had adopted the safety arrangements recommended by the Board of Trade; and, if so, whether he is now prepared to express an opinion as to the justice of advising the remission of the said sentence?
THE SECRETARY OF STATE (Mr. CHILDERS) (Edinburgh, S.), in reply, said, he had received some further information, but not sufficient to enable him to arrive at a decision.
