MR.CUNINGHAME GRAHAM (Lanark, N. W.)

I beg to ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether he has received a Petition for the release of Samuel Hunter, represented to be from "Magistrates, members of Town Council, and inhabitants of county borough of Salford"; and if he can grant the prayer of said Petition?

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

Yes, Sir; I received such a Petition in August of last year, and I replied that it was not a case in which I could advise any interference.
