§ MR. MACALEESE (Monaghan, N.)I beg to ask the President of the Board of Trade, can he state 'the extent of the damage caused by the derailing of a cattle train some days ago at Innis-keen, on the Great Northern Railway of Ireland, when, as reported in the press, several dealers were seriously hurt, and a large number of cattle killed and many shockingly injured; were many of the cattle, in all degrees of mutilation, turned into a field and allowed to lie there in agony for many hours, as the railway management would not undertake the liability of directing their slaughter; and, if so, will a prosecution be ordered; and, has the cause of the accident been ascertained; if so, will he state it to the House?
§ THE PRESIDENT OF THE BOARD OF TRADE (Mr. C. T. RITCHIE,) CroydonThe Board of Trade have ordered an inquire into the causes of this accident.
