HC Deb 17 December 1906 vol 167 c1044
MR. CATHCART WASON

I beg to ask Mr. Attorney-General whether his attention has been directed to the death of a woman at Blackpool caused by the driver of a motor car driving negligently and beyond the statutory limit of twenty miles an hour; and if he will satisfy himself if it is a case in which the Public Prosecutor could be moved with the object of securing some security for life and limb of His Majesty's subjects.

THE ATTORNEY-GENERAL (Sir JOHN WALTON, Leeds, S.)

I have seen the coroner's summing up, and the report of the chief constable and the Director of Public Prosecutions, and considered the prospect of another jury taking a different view, and I do not think I ought to intervene.
