HC Deb 20 January 1913 vol 47 cc48-9W
Mr. CARR-GOMM

asked the Home Secretary whether his attention has been drawn to the case of Thomas Marius, aged twenty, who was sentenced by Mr. Denman, at Marlborough Street Police Court, to three months' hard labour and deportation at the end of the three months for living on the improper earnings of a woman; and, if not, whether he will make some inquiry into the case in view of the small amount of evidence which is stated to have been brought forward?

Mr. McKENNA

I have consulted the magistrate and had before me the notes of the evidence given in the case. The evidence appears to me to afford ample justification for the conviction and recommendation of expulsion. I may observe that the prisoner, who, I am informed, was defended by counsel on the instructions of a solicitor, did not appeal against the conviction.
