HC Deb 19 March 1889 vol 334 cc132-3
MR. CUNINGHAME GRAHAM (Lanarkshire, N.W.)

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he has now any information to lay before the House as to the alleged raid on a workman's club by the police on Saturday, after a parade of Jewiah unemployed?

THE SECRETARY OF STATE FOR THE HOME DEPARTMENT (Mr. MATTHEWS)

I am informed by the Commissioner of Police that there was no raid whatever, but the police were themselves assaulted, and a case is now pending before a magistrate. Until the facts are ascertained at the trial, it would obviously be improper that I should make any further statement on the subject.
