§ MR. CUNINGHAME GRAHAM (Lanarkshire, N.W.)asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether any compensation is to be given to the man Travis who was wrongly convicted of the murder of a woman.
§ MR. MATTHEWSThere is no intention to grant this man any compensation. He has not received a free pardon, and it must not be assumed that he was wrongfully convicted. It appeared, on a careful review of all the circumstances, that there was sufficient doubt in the case to make it expedient that his term of imprisonment should be abridged.
