HC Deb 22 August 1889 vol 340 c128
SIR J. PULESTON

I beg to ask the Home Secretary whether he can give the House any information with respect to the May brick case? [Cries of "No!"]

[No answer was given.]

Subsequently Sir. J. PULESTON, amid loud cries of "No," repeated his question, with a similar result.]

At a later period,

MR. W. A. MACDONALD

said: I wish to ask the Home Secretary when he expects to be in a position to announce to the public and the condemned woman—[Loud cries of "No!"]—any decision at which he has arrived in the Maybrick case? [Renewed cries of "No!"]

MR. MATTHEWS

Mr. Speaker, the advice which I conceive it to be my duty to tender to Her Majesty in the case referred to by the hon. Member is not a matter for question in this House.
