§ MR. DAVITTI beg to ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department how many years has the convict. Mrs. Maybrick now served in penal servitude; and whether, seeing that her conduct in prison has been uniformly good since conviction, and that no extra punishments have been incurred by her through insubordination, he will take this case into his consideration with the object of recommending the gracious exercise of the Royal clemency in her behalf.
§ * SIR M. WHITE RIDLEYMrs. Maybrick will have served ten years on the 6th of next month. I am not able to hold out any hope of exceptional treatment in this case.
§ MR. DAVITTIs the right hon. Gentleman aware that there is widespread and almost universal sympathy in America for Mrs. Maybrick?
§ * SIR M. WHITE RIDLEYI have heard of no reasons for exceptional treatment or clemency being shown in this case.
