§ MR. CUNNINGHAME GRAHAM (Lanark, N.W.)asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department, Whether it is true that a lunatic called John Morris, who had committed a murder in Poole, was placed in Dorchester Gaol, to the annoyance of the other prisoners, and that as he left there he threatened the life of one William Clunes, who was an inmate of that prison?
§ THE SECRETARY OF STATE (Mr. MATTHEWS) (Birmingham, E.)I have made inquiry of the prison authorities, and am informed by them that the Governor of Dorchester Gaol has no knowledge or record of an incident such as that referred to having occurred in that prison. If the hon. Member will furnish me with the date of the occurrence, and further particulars, I will make further inquiry.
