§ SIR BRAMPTON GURDONI beg to ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether, in cases of infanticide, the judge has no option but to pass the sentence of death upon the guilty person; and, if this be so, whether he contemplates any change in the law.
§ MR. JESSE COLLINGS (for Mr. RITCHIE)There is no alternative sentence in cases of child murder. The Secretary of State does not contemplate any alteration of the law.
