MR. FENWICKI wish to ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether his attention has been called to a report in the Labour Tribune of March 23, that the Vicar of Llanarvon refused to inter the body of Thomas Williams, one of the victims of the late explosion in North Wales, on Sunday, March 17, "upon the grounds that it was immoral to bury the dead upon the Lord's Day;" and if this report was true, what steps the Government intended to take to put a stop to such proceedings in the future?
§ MR. MATTHEWSYes, Sir; I have seen the statement in question. The vicar informs me that it has no foundation whatever in truth. He has buried people on Sundays, and is ready to do so again.
