§ SIR GEORGE JENKINSONsaid, he rose to give notice that, unless the Government undertook to deal with the subject of Capital Punishment, he would ask leave, early next Session, to introduce a Bill to alter and amend the existing law in regard to the present system of the revision and commutation of Capital Sentences; and he would now beg to ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department to grant a Return of all Convicts, male and female, who have been reprieved from the execution of Capital Sentences passed upon them during the last ten years.
MR. BRUCEsaid, that if the hon. Baronet would give notice of the information he wanted, it should be granted as an unopposed Return.
