§ MR. QUILTER (Suffolk, Sudbury)I beg to ask the President of the Local Government Board whether his attention has been called to the evidence and the Judge's remarks at the trial of John and Sarah Starling, of Cowlinge, at the Suffolk Assizes on July 15, for the manslaughter of their daughter; and whether he intends that the Local Government Board should be represented at the inquiry which is to be held by the Board of Guardians of the Risbridge Union?
§ *THE PRESIDENT OF THE LOCAL GOVERNMENT BOARD (Mr. RITCHIE, Tower Hamlets, St. George's)My attention has been called to the evidence and the remarks of the Judge at the trial at the Suffolk Assizes to which reference is made in the question. I do not propose that the Local Government Board should intervene at the inquiry which, it is stated, is to be held by the Board of Guardians of the Risbridge Union, but when that inquiry has been held the Board will consider what course it will be necessary for them to take in the matter.
