HC Deb 16 April 1885 vol 296 c1851
MR. W. J. CORBET

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department, If he has received a memorial signed by nine of the jury in the recent trial of the Queen v. Georgina Weldon, in which they say— We are perfectly shocked at the sentence of six months' imprisonment passed upon the said Georgina Weldon after we had strongly recommended her to mercy; and, whether he will, under the circumstances, remit the sentence?

SIR WILLIAM HARCOURT

I have received the Memorial referred to, and it will be carefully considered.
