§ MR. MADDISON (Sheffield, Brightside)I beg to ask the President of the Board of Trade whether his attention has been called to the remarks of Mr. Coroner Troutbeck, in an inquiry into the death of Frederick Goodacre, a shunter in the employ of the London, Chatham, and Dover Railway Company, in which he commented adversely upon the darkness of the shunting yard and the practice of working shunters overtime, and whether he has instructed one of the sub-inspectors to inquire into this fatality.
§ THE PRESIDENT OF THE BOARD OF TRADE (Mr. RITCHIE,) CroydonYes, Sir, an inquiry will be ordered into the case. There is some discrepancy about the name of the deceased, but we are in communication with the railway company on the subject.
