§ Dr. BURGINThe Director of Public Prosecutions informs me that summonses have been issued against Mr. Sydney Graham and Mr. Ralph Henry Holland to answer a charge that they were parties to sending the steamship "La Crescenta" to sea in such an unseaworthy state that the life of persons was likely to be thereby endangered, contrary to Section 457 of the Merchant Shipping Act, 1894. These summonses are returnable at the Mansion House Justice Room on 26th May, 1936.
§ Mr. SHINWELLMay I ask whether one of the accused who went to America is now returning to this country?
