INQUIRY INTO ILL-TREATMENT
United Prices Association —CopYitrain LONDON, Nov. 2.
In the House of Commons, in connection with the hosing of the suffragette at Strangways gaol, Manchester, Mr. Gladstone, Home Secretary, explained that the visiting committee at Strangways gaol were afraid to break in the door lest the walls should fall. The hose was ordered to be played, firstly on the ceiling, and then for two or three minutes on the suffragette’s shoulders. The hinge of the door was next removed, and the prisoner was convoyed to the hospital. The committee was anxious to support the officials’ 'authority, and act in a way leastlikely totalise injury, but in his opinion the committee was guilty of a grave error of judgment.
