§ Mr. HUGH LAWasked the President of the Board of Trade whether his attention had been called to complaints regarding the working of the Londonderry and Lough Swilly Railway Company (Burton-port Extension); whether he is aware that on the 15th instant boxes of fresh herrings, intended for Belfast, Manchester, Glasgow, and other places, were left behind at Cashelnagor Station owing to want of wagons, that these boxes remained there for two days, and were consequently un-saleable when they reached their different markets; that on the 23rd instant a load of dead pigs, intended for the first train to Deny, was refused transport and had to be taken away; that on the night of the 22nd instant the last train to Burton-port broke down and the passengers were forced to remain in the carriages, which are without any heating arrangements, till next morning; that on the 23rd instant a number of men, several of whom were on their way from Scotland, were unable to travel by the 11.30 a.m. train, and were informed that they must wait until the 5 p.m. train, there not being sufficient accommodation in the carriages; and what action he proposes to take in the matter?
§ Mr. CHURCHILLNo complaint of these delays has been received, but a copy of the hon. Member's question has been sent to the railway company for their observations, and I will communicate with him upon receipt of their reply.
