How Mr. BaJ In the debates on the Criminal Law and Procedure Bill, it will be arekeptmlSeS observed that Mr. Balfour promised an appeal in every instance from the sentences of the resident magistrates, and even of those of the county court judges. But this pledge, deliberately made in the face of the House of Commons, was with equal deliberation flagrantly broken, because of the protests of two of his supporters, Mr. Forrest Fulton and Mr. Baumann, whose letters in protest will be found extant in the Times immediately afterwards. All debate on the treatment of prisoners under the Bill was shut out by the closure, and thus it was that at no time during its passage was the slightest consideration given to the subject by the Government. On the 17th May, 1887 (Hansard, vol. 31 o, page 284), Mr. BalfAir, in the House of Commons, said: --The law of conspiracy was an obscure law. It is said that it is a difficult law, which is capable of dangerous extension, and that we are leaving its administration to men who are not learned in the law--namely, the resident magistrates. But the right hon. gentleman (Sir William Harcourt) forgot to say that the resi dent magistrates decision is not final. Mr. T. M. Ilealy. -- He may give a months imprisonment. Mr. Balfour pro-Mr. A. J. Balfour. -- I do not complain of the interruption. The hon. and mises appeal in learned member is quite correct in saying that under the Bill, as we have drafted every case. jti we may ave followed too closely the Act of 1882, and that by the existing law of Ireland there is no appeal if the imprisonment is for less than a month. But ice propose to give an appeal in every case. Mr. T. M. Healy. -- With no cumulative sentences Mr. A. J. Balfour. . . . This item ships from La Vergne,TN.<
