HC Deb 29 July 1912 vol 41 cc1667-8W
Mr. BARNES

asked the Secretary for Scotland whether his attention has been drawn to the sentence of twenty days' imprisonment passed upon Mary Conn, at Kirkcudbright, by Sheriff Napier, for a breach of the peace; and whether he will inquire into the matter with a view to reducing the sentence, if possible?

Mr. McKINNON WOOD

My attention was drawn to this case on Wednesday, and I thought it my duty to order the woman's release.
