Fifteen have been executed, nine (including two persons certified as insane subsequent to conviction) were reprieved; in one case the conviction was quashed and in one case a verdict of manslaughter was substituted on appeal. I am sending my hon. Friend the other particulars for which he asks in respect of persons condemned to death on conviction of murder.
