§ MR. BRYCE (Aberdeen, S.)I beg to ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether it is intended that the inquiry into the position, duties, and grievances of the officers of the Out-door Department of Her Majesty's Customs shall include the duties and position of the boatmen or watermen employed in the Customs?
§ MR. GOSCHENYes; it is intended to include the case of the boatmen in the inquiry, and so they would have been informed if they had applied for information direct, instead of seeking it through that political intervention which I always deplore.
