said, he would beg to ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, Whether he intends to bring in a Bill this Session to alter and amend the Law of Murder, either by carrying out the unanimous recommendations of the Capital Punishment Commissioners, or in some other manner?

Sir, I regret to say that it is impossible for me to bring in a Bill during the present Session on this subject.
