§ Sir F. BANBURYasked the Homo Secretary if his attention had been called to the inquest on a man named George Hoare who had a fit of apoplexy and, having been seen by a doctor, was sent by that doctor in charge of a policeman to the Middlesex Hospital, where two doctors examined him and refused to take him in, as they said he was drunk, and that the man was then taken to a police station and placed in a cell where he shortly died; and if he would say what steps he proposed to take?
§ Mr. SHORTTI have made enquiry and have seen a report of the proceedings at the inquest. As the man had been carefully examined by two competent medical men, and as they found him to be drunk, the Police could not possibly refuse to take him, and there is no action which I can take in the matter.
