§ Sir J. Mellorasked the Home Secretary whether, before remitting or reducing the penalties imposed by the courts on 13 persons recently convicted of making statements calculated to cause alarm or despondency, he obtained in each case a note of the evidence from the clerk of the court?
§ Sir J. AndersonIn all these cases I had before me full statements of all the information collected by the police and as no question arose in any case as to whether the persons had been properly convicted it was not necessary to trouble the clerk of the court for any further material.
