§ MR. REESI beg to ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether he is aware that, during the current month at Welshpool, a body was exhumed during an interment; whether he is aware that the only burial place Free Churchmen have at Welshpool is in the custody of the Church; and whether he will take such action as will prevent the recurrence of an incident such as that 360 to which reference is made, which has given rise to considerable feeling in the locality concerned.
§ MR. GLADSTONEYes, Sir, and I have already made inquiry into the case. I propose to take all practical steps to vindicate the security of human remains against disturbance which is demanded by natural and proper feeling and is provided for by law.
