§ Mr. BUCHANANasked the Solicitor-General for Scotland if he will reconsider the question of releasing T. Hitman, who was sentenced at Glasgow on 8th June to 15 months' imprisonment for alleged sedition, in view of his serving in the Army during the War, that he has now served over seven months, and that he has a wife and young family; and, as he previously had a very good character, may ho now be released?
§ The SOLICITOR-GENERAL for SCOTLANDMy Noble Friend previously made enquiry into this case, and found no ground to justify any interference with the sentence. He has again considered the case, but sees no reason to depart from his previous decision.
