HC Deb 12 June 1894 vol 25 c915
MAJOR RASCH (Essex, S. E.)

I beg to ask the President of the Local Government Board whether his attention has been called to the trial at Brentwood, Essex, of Nurse Gillespie for cruelty to the little children at the Hackney Board of Guardians School at Brentwood; and whether some action will also be taken against Mr. Hadwick, the superintendent of the school, who was, as master, responsible for the conduct of the employés?

MR. SHAW-LEFEVRE

My attention has been drawn to the trial referred to. I understand that the superintendent of the schools has been suspended from the performance of his duties. It is the intention of the Local Government Board to direct an inquiry by one of their Inspectors as to the management of the schools.
