HC Deb 28 February 1889 vol 333 c582
MR. PICKERSGILL

asked the Under Secretary of State for the Colonies whether the sentence of flogging (30 lashes) for contempt of Court, imposed on Thomas Taylor, on July 27 last, by the Chief Justice of the Bahamas, was carried out?

BARON HENRY DE WORMS

In reply to the hon. Member, I have to say that the sentence was carried out on the day it was passed.

MR. H. H. FOWLER

Are we to understand that the Chief Justice still holds office under the Crown?

BARON HENRY DE WORMS

Yes.
