§ Mr. GEORGE GREENWOODasked the Secretary of State for the Colonies why the number of executions in Northern and Southern Nigeria during the years 1909–10 was so much greater than in any other Crown Colony?
Mr. HARCOURTThe number of executions in Northern and Southern Nigeria arises from the number of capital offences committed, and is not as great in proportion to population as in several ether Crown Colonies of Protectorates.
