HC Deb 31 March 1898 vol 55 c1501
SIR JOHN T. BRUNNER (Cheshire, Northwich)

I beg to ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether his attention has been called to the sentence of three months' imprisonment with hard labour recently passed at the Frodsham Police Court on Elizabeth Antrobus for an assault upon a schoolmistress; and, whether he will consent to inquire into the case with a view to a mitigation of the sentence?

THE SECRETARY OF STATE FOR THE HOME DEPARTMENT

At present I have received no representations with regard to this case. I should be prepared to make inquiry if any sufficient grounds were shown.
