13. Mr. POINTERasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether he has now been able to review the sentences passed on certain dock labourers at the Essex Autumn Assizes; and, if so, whether he is prepared to make any remission?
§ Mr. McKENNAI have now had an opportunity of carefully considering all the facts in connection with the convictions at the Essex Assizes for riot and endangering the safety of passengers in a railway train to which my hon. Friend refers, and I regret that I can find no sufficient ground for interfering with the sentences passed on the prisoners.
