HC Deb 25 March 1920 vol 127 c586
23. Mr. BROMFIELD

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether, in view of the neglect to call important medical evidence at the trial of Arthur Barker, lately sentenced at the Stafford Assies to four months' imprisonment for manslaughter, whereby a miscarriage of justice would appear to have taken place, he will cause this expert evidence to be taken prior to giving his decision respecting the appeal made to him for a revision of the sentence?

Major BAIRD

My right hon. Friend has gone very carefully into this case and can find no ground which would justify him in interfering.
