HC Deb 16 July 1877 vol 235 c1329

In reply to Mr. Booed,

The CHANCELLOR OF THE EXCHEQUER

said, the Government did not think that the case of Messrs. Cowing and Deadman, who were imprisoned upon an order for payment of costs in their unsuccessful suit against the Crown, but were afterwards released by the order of the Government, was one in which compensation ought to be given.
