HC Deb 22 February 1901 vol 89 c857
MR. JOHN CAMPBELL

I beg to ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether he proposes to allow the death penalty to be inflicted in the case of Rose Sumner, aged 20, who was sentenced to death at Lewes on Wednesday last by Mr. Justice Channell for the murder of her illegitimate child.

* MR. RITCHIE

I must decline to answer any question with regard to the advice which it may be my duty to give His Majesty in capital cases.
