§ Sir G. GREENWOODasked the Home Secretary whether his attention has been called to the case of Robert Trevelyan, who was sentenced at the London Sessions on or about 2nd April last to twenty-one months' imprisonment with hard labour and fifteen lashes with the cat; whether the latter part of the sentence was carried out; whether he is aware that the same prisoner was sentenced in 1915 to twelve months' imprisonment with hard labour and twenty-five strokes with a birch rod for a similar offence to that of which he was convicted at the London Sessions; and if he will order an inquiry to be made as to this prisoner's state of mind?
§ Mr. BRACEThe attention of my right hon. Friend has been called to this case. On consideration of all the facts, and particularly in view of the report made by the medical officer of the prison, he has advised the remission of the latter part of the sentence.
