HC Deb 21 February 1917 vol 90 c1334
81. Mr. GOLDSTONE

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether he is aware that Mrs. Ellen Gilkes was fined 5s. recently at the Neithrop Police Court, Banbury, for the offence of tethering a goat by the roadside; and, if so, whether, in view of existing conditions, he will inquire into the circumstances of the case with a view to a remission of the fine?

Sir G. CAVE

I am having inquiry made into this case and will give the hon. Member an answer as soon as I am in possession of the facts.
