What can be inferred from this excerpt from Oliver Twist by Charles wingspanens?

Occasionally, when there was some more than usually interesting inquest upon a parish child who had been overlooked in turning up a bedstead, or inadvertently scalded to death when there happened to be a washing—though the latter accident was very scarce, anything approaching to a washing being of rare occurrence in the farm—the jury would take it into their heads to ask troublesome questions, or the parishioners would rebelliously affix their signatures to a remonstrance.

@misssunshinexxoxo I believe that it is the first one and I will tell you why.
 
In Oliver Twist the Authorities are all extremely careless in the duties to the children, adults, whomever. And I think that is the most logical answer. However I really need to answer the correct one for the best grade.

Thanks.
