§ MR. ESSEX (Gloucestershire, Cirencester)I beg to ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department how many sentences of death were passed in Great Britain during the ten years ending 1860, 1870, 1880, 1890, and 1900, respectively; how many of such sentences were duly carried out; how many commuted to terms of imprisonment; and how many wore remitted altogether.
§ MR. GLADSTONEThe various figures asked for would take too long to deliver, but if the hon. Member will put down his Question unstarred, I shall be happy to give them in the form of a Table.
