Board of Trade Inquiry.
A BOARD OF TRADE Inquiry, presided
over by Mr. Stuart Deacon (Stipendiary
Magistrate), was held in Liverpool, into the
circumstances attending the deaths of four
men who were gassed on board ship at North
Wall, Dublin, in February last. Judgment
was delivered in Liverpool by the presiding
Magistrate upon 25th June. The Court, in
its judgment, dealt with the claims in the
case, and made certain suggestions for the
prevention of the recurrence of such a fatality.
Having regard to the fact that the casualty
occurred in Dublin, and that the Inquiry was
held in Liverpool, the Court ordered that the
Board of Trade do pay to Mr. J. Blood
Smyth, Solicitor, of Dublin, who represented
the dependents of the deceased men at the
Inquiry in Liverpool, and also represented a
man injured, and whose clients at his request
were added as parties to the Inquiry, the
sum of fifty guineas to cover the whole of
his expenses and those of his witnesses ; and
the Court recommended that the application
for his expenses of Mr. J. Russell Stritch,
Solicitor, of Dublin, who watched the pro–
ceedings at the Inquiry on behalf of a
stevedore, should receive the consideration
of the Board.
