HC Deb 02 November 1908 vol 195 c785
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 BURNS

The 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.
