Mr. ERSKINEasked the Home Secretary whether his attention has been called to the ease of a coloured seaman, his wife and child, who have been receiving full relief from the Westminster Board of Guardians, and are now to be given free passage back to Jamaica, from whence they came, at a cost of £55; and can he state why these particular aliens were ever admitted to this country to be a burden on the ratepayers?
§ Mr. BRIDGEMAN:According to the facts given in the question, these persons would appear to be British subjects, being natives of Jamaica. The second part of the question, therefore, does not arise.
