§ MR. CUNINGHAME GRAHAMI beg to ask the President of the Local Government Board if his attention has been directed to the case of Charles Jackson, formerly constable under the Metropolitan Board of Works, and dismissed for bringing certain accusations against the officials of the Board of Guardians of Wandsworth and Clapham?
§ MR. RITCHIESeveral letters have been addressed to the Local Government Board by Charles Jackson. I have no information as to the circumstances under which he was dismissed from his employment under the Metropolitan Board of Works; but in the letters which have been received from him he makes no allegation that he was dismissed in consequence of bringing accusations against the officials of the Board of Guardians. He has been an inmate of the workhouse of the Wandsworth and Clapham Union, and has made certain complaints. Copies of his communications have been forwarded to the Guardians.
