HC Deb 08 May 1935 vol 301 c968W
Colonel WEDGWOOD

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies whether his attention has been called to the sentence of 7½ years' imprisonment passed on Solomon Jacobson, aged 18, a Jewish national fund watchman, for shooting an Arab trespasser who was stealing stones from the quarry where he was on guard; and will he call for a report and consider revision of the sentence?

Sir P. CUNLIFFE-LISTER

I have asked the High Commissioner for Palestine for a report on this case.
