§ MR. ROCHEsaid, that Mr. Mitchel had been tried, convicted, and sentenced; and he bad been treated with a degree of harshness beyond that which was usually applied to the commonest convict in Ireland. He had been hurried from his friends and family. He wished to ask whether it was the intention of the Home Secretary and the Government to carry out in its full rigour that disproportionate and unjust sentence?
§ SIR G. GREYI will say nothing whatever as to the epithets with which the hon. Member has thought proper to accompany his question. If I am to understand the question to mean "is the sentence passed upon Mr. Mitchel to be executed?" I have to inform the hon. Member that instructions have been given for carrying that sentence into effect.
