HC Deb 07 August 1893 vol 15 c1421
MR. KEIR HARDIE

I beg to ask the President of the Board of Trade whether the certificates of W. M. Crawford and P. F. Fitzgerald, as captain and mate respectively in the Merchant Service, will be cancelled consequent upon their conviction at the Liverpool Assizes on the 1st instant for the manslaughter of George W. Orr, a seaman under their orders, on board the British ship Watchman on the high seas?

THE PRESIDENT OF THE BOARD OF TRADE (Mr. MUNDELLA, Sheffield, Brightside)

Yes, Sir; these certificates have already been cancelled.
