asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department, whether his attention has been called to the case of Mr. John O'Neill, who was convicted on the 21st September last by the Wealdstone Justices on a charge of embezzlement of a sum of £3 9s. 10d. and sentenced to three months' imprisonment, although a first offender; whether he is aware that, owing to the failure of the clerk of the Wealdstone Magistrates to forward the notice of appeal in the appropriate manner and time, this man was debarred from his legal right of appeal; and whether, in the circumstances, he will take steps to make amends for this miscarriage of justice?
