PASSENGER AND EMIGRANT SHIPS-ALLEGED STARVATION
OF EMIGRANTS
MR. T. P. O'CONNOR wished to ask the Chief Secretary
for Ireland the Question which he promised to inquire
into the other day-namely, Whether there was any
truth in the statement that a number of Irish emigrants
at North Adam, in Mass [Massachusetts?], were in a state
of destitution ?
MR. TREVELYAN: I am glad, Sir, to be able to give
the hon. Member the information he requires. I have
here a telegram, dated June 6, 1883, from Consul
Henderson, Boston, to Earl Granville,
in these terms:"Overseers of poor North Adams
reply no truth in report in Standard."
