§ MR. DAVITT (Mayo, S.)I beg to ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, with reference to a prisoner named Fearoz, a Parsee, who was tried and convicted before the Recorder of London near the end of 1892, and whose sentence was one of four years' penal servitude, whether he can state what has become of the prisoner, whose sentence must have expired before this date?
§ THE SECRETARY OF STATE FOR THE HOME DEPARTMENTThis man was certified insane, and removed to Broadmoor, in March, 1895. On the expiration of his sentence in December, 1896, he was made a pauper lunatic, and removed to Hanwell Asylum. I have no further information about him.
§ MR. DAVITTIs it not a fact that this prisoner became insane in consequence of his imprisonment?
§ THE SECRETARY OF STATE FOR THE HOME DEPARTMENTThere is no indication of it.
§ MR. DAVITTWill the right honourable Gentleman inquire of the prison medical authority what was the state of this man's health and mind when he was received in prison?
§ THE SECRETARY OF STATE FOR THE HOME DEPARTMENTI am quite willing to make the inquiry.
