§ Sir G. SCOTT ROBERTSON (for Mr. Essex)asked whether, during her incarceration in Holloway Prison, Lady Constance Lytton was for days subjected to the pain and annoyance of hearing the shrieks of a woman in a near cell lying under sentence of death for the murder of her child; did Lady Constance Lytton make any complaint to the governor of the prison; and, if so, what action was taken by him?
§ Mr. GLADSTONEThere was only one woman in the prison under sentence of death at the time referred to. While under that sentence she was not located in the same wing as Lady Constance Lytton. Moreover, she was. perfectly quiet and orderly, both before and after her sentence had been respited. Lady 1144 Constance probably heard the cries of an insane woman who had been remanded from petty sessions on a charge of larceny, and whose physical condition did not permit of her immediate removal, but she made no complaint to the governor upon the subject.
