HC Deb 17 March 1887 vol 312 c535
MR. SHIRLEY (Yorkshire, W. R., Doncaster)

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department, Whether it is the intention of the Government to offer a reward for the apprehension of the perpetrators of the recent Kentish Town murder, as recommended by various members of the Coroner's Jury?

THE SECRETARY OF STATE (Mr. MATTHEWS) (Birmingham, E.)

The question of offering a reward in the case of this murder is still under consideration; but, as the hon. Member may be aware, rewards are only offered by the Home Office under very exceptional circumstances.
