§ MR. W. ABRAHAM (Glamorgan, Rhondda)asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department, Whether he has received a Petition respecting the sentence of eight years' penal servitude passed at the late Glamorganshire Assizes upon Miriam Jones, barely 17 years old, for the attempted murder of her child; and, if so, whether he will recommend Her Majesty to mitigate the severity of such sentence?
§ THE SECRETARY OF STATE (Mr. MATTHEWS) (Birmingham, E.)No Petition has yet been presented to me in this case. In the meantime, I am making injuiries.
