§ MR. HERBERT KNATCHBULL -HUGESSEN (Kent, Faversham), who had the following question on the Paper—To ask the First Lord of the Admiralty whether his attention has been called to the expression of regret by the Coroner's Jury in the recent Barracouta case at Sheerness—
That the Admiralty had not carried out the recommendations of the jury in the Thistle explosion in 1869, by providing hospital accommodation for injured men at Sheerness, and thus caused the necessity of sending cases to Chatham;whether he is aware that there is already at Sheerness a military hospital which is never full, where cases of accident could be treated; and whether he will take immediate steps to put an end to the unnecessary suffering caused by the present arrangements?—said: At the request of the First Lord I beg to postpone the question until Thursday.
