§ DR. THOMPSON (Monaghan, N.)I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland if he is aware that trade warders in Irish asylums have to go on duty in the divisions after their ordinary day's work at their trade is finished; and will he, with a view to the protection of the health of the warders, and to prevent discontent, give such directions as will prevent the continuance of this system.
§ MR. WYNDHAMThis is a matter entirely within the control of the committees of management of district asylums, and I have no power to give such directions as are suggestion.
§ MR. FIELDWill the right hon. Gentleman use his influence to have carried out the suggestion contained in the question?
§ MR. WYNDHAMI have no power to do that. We are often criticised for interfering with the work of local bodies, and where I have no power to act I do not intend to attempt it.
