§ MR. BELLOCI beg to ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether he can now give the result of his inquiry into the case of Barber, and of the sentence he received at the Dove Quarter Sessions in Herefordshire.
§ MR. GLADSTONEThe case presents features of difficulty, and I am not yet able to add anything to the reply which I gave the hon. Member on 1st December. I hope to let him know my decision very shortly.
§ MR. BELLOCWill it be before the end of the present session?
§ MR. GLADSTONEYes, Sir.
