§ 10. Sir FRANCIS BLAKEasked the Under-Secretary of State for War whether his attention has been called to the case of Private E. Redhead, E Company, East Yorks Regiment, who died in St. John's Military Hospital, Hull, on the 1st instant, after less than three weeks' service; whether the result of a post-mortem examination showed that death was caused by acute pneumonia and acute dilated heart; and whether, as it is alleged that the pneumonia was caused by this young soldier having to sleep on the bare earth without tent boards or waterproof sheets, he will inquire into these allegations with a view to the prevention of such dangerous methods and the grief and indignation which they cause?
§ Mr. MACPHERSONI am making inquiry, and will communicate with my hon. and learned Friend as soon as I am in a position to do so.
