§ MR. CUNINGHAME GRAHAMI beg to ask the President of the Local Government Board if his attention has been directed to the verdict of the Coroner's Jury at the Vestry Hall, E., on Thursday last, on the death of Elizabeth Bryant, which was "that the deceased died of starvation;" whether he is aware that the Parish Authorities, as reported, refused deceased outdoor relief, and that in consequence, rather than go into the workhouse, deceased died; and if, in face of the apparent dislike (even to preferring death by starvation) of the poor of the East End to the indoor system, he will advise that the system shall be relaxed?
§ *THE PRESIDENT OP THE LOCAL GOVERNMENT BOARD (Mr. RITCHIE, Tower Hamlets, St. George's)I have no information upon the matter referred to; but if the hon. Member will give me particulars as to the name of the Coroner who held the inquest, or the place at which it was held, I shall be happy to make inquiry.
