asked the Under-Secretary of State for War whether an inquiry has been held as to the circumstances under which the steamship "Start-forth" was fired at by a Territorial detachment at Sunderland on the 9th August, when, in addition to damage to the ship, a seaman was seriously wounded; what was the result of such inquiry, if held; and, if not, whether an inquiry will be ordered?

An inquiry is being held into this case.
