MR. T. F. RICHARDSI beg to ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether his attention has been called to a sentence of five years passed at the Middlesex Sessions by Sir R. Littler, upon a woman named Elizabeth Morrice, fifty-two years of age, for stealing 1d.; and whether he will say what action he proposes to take towards remitting some part of the punishment.
§ MR. HERBERT SAMUELThis woman has applied for leave to appeal against her sentence, and in the circumstances my right hon. friend cannot, of course, express any opinion upon the case.
