§ *MR. WEIR (Ross and Cromarty)I beg to ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether he is aware that, on the 17th instant, a motor car, ran into a funeral as it was about to enter St. Paul's Church, Wokingham, resulting in the death of an old lady who was standing in front of the coffin and bearers; will he ascertain whether this accident was duo to reckless driving; and, if so, will he consider the expediency of arranging for the licence of the motorist to be suspended.
§ *MR. GLADSTONEFrom inquiries I have made it appears that at the inquest the Coroner's Jury brought in a verdict of accidental death. The driver of the motor-car was, however, arrested on a charge of manslaughter and the Justices have committed him for trial at the next autumn assizes.
