§ 39. Mr. Thorneasked the Home Secretary whether he can give any information in connection with a boy who fell down a manhole into a sewer at Hayes, Middlesex; and whether any reward is being given to the would-be rescuer?
§ Sir J. AndersonI have received a report on this tragic accident. I appreciate the praiseworthy efforts which Mr. Hales made to rescue the child, but there are no funds at my disposal from which a reward could be paid to him.
