§ MAJOR RASCH (Essex, S.E.)I beg to ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether his attention has been called to the case of Senior, a member of the Peculiar People, who received a sentence of four months' imprisonment for neglecting to provide medical treatment for his child; and whether he will consider the 136 advisability of remitting the remaining portion of Senior's sentence?
§ THE UNDER SECRETARY OF STATE FOR THE HOME DEPARTMENT (Mr. J. COLLINGS, Birmingham, Bordesley)The offence of which Senior was found guilty was manslaughter. The case has received careful attention, but no sufficient ground has been shown for a remission of any part of the sentence.
