§ MR. C. D. SCHWANN (Cheshire, Hyde)I beg to ask the Secretary for the Home Department whether, with regard to the case of John Joyce, of Manchester, who suffered imprisonment, although innocent, and to whom the Treasury awarded £25 and a free pardon, he will consider the case and increase the allowance, as the sum already given does not cover legal expenses and the loss by breaking up the home of the innocent man during his incarceration.
§ * MR. GLADSTONEIn view of the special considerations which the hon. Member has laid before me, I will ask the Treasury for a further grant.
