HC Deb 18 March 1892 vol 2 c1191
MR. LEGH (Lancashire, S.W., Newton)

I beg to ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether, in view of the excitement in the district caused by the discovery of the murders at Rainhill, he is in a position to give any information beyond what has appeared in the Press?

THE SECRETARY OF STATE FOR THE HOME DEPARTMENT (Mr. MATTHEWS,) Birmingham, E.

No, Sir; I have no information beyond that which has appeared in the Press. Communications have been addressed to the authorities at Melbourne pending the completion of inquiries by the Lancashire police.
