§ MR. M'CARTHY DOWNINGsaid, it was unnecessary to ask the right hon. Gentleman the Secretary of State for the Home Department the Question as to which he had given him private Notice in reference to the case of the convict Mensen, to which attention had been called in The Times of that morning by a letter from the foreman of the jury who tried him. The right hon. Gentleman had in that case, as in all others which had been brought under his notice in that House, exercised his judgment with that care, consideration, and mercy which had won for him the high character he enjoyed as Home Secretary.
