HC Deb 20 June 1890 vol 345 cc1486-7
MAJOR RASCH (Essex, S. E.)

I beg to ask the First Lord of the Treasury whether lie will instruct the Public Prosecutor to act, in reference to the verdict of manslaughter returned by the Coroner's Jury, 9th June, in the case of the running down of the smack Osprey by the steamship Henry Morton?

MR. W. H. SMITH

The Director of Public Prosecutions undertook the prosecution in the Osprey case on the 13th inst., and procured the committal of the defendant for trial on a charge of manslaughter on the 18th inst., and will conduct the case at the ensuing Maidstone Assizes.
