§ MR. H. H. MARKS (Kent, Thanet)I beg to ask the President of the Local Government Board if he can state whether the store-keeper and the labour master of the Fulham Workhouse, who were convicted at the West London Police Court on Tuesday, 26th October, of assaulting a crippled inmate of the workhouse, and fined each 40s. and costs, are still retained in their offices.
§ MR. JOHN BURNSThe Answer is in the affirmative. The guardians deferred consideration of the case pending the proceedings in the Police Court, but it is now being investigated by a committee of that body.
