MR. CATHCART WASONI beg to ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will endeavour to see that persons who, deliberately breaking the statutory law, happen to commit homicide, receive some punishment as a deterrent.
§ *MR. GLADSTONEAnyone is liable to conviction who, as the result of an unlawful act, accidentally commits homicide; but it is for the magistrates to decide whether the evidence in any particular case is sufficient to warrant committal for trial; and if the accused is committed, it rests with the jury to decide whether he is guilty.
