THE GOLDEN-LANE MURDER
It will be recollected that the jury who tried
Harriet Parker, who was found guilty of the wilful
murder of two children in Golden-lane, on the 31st
of December last, " strongly recommended her to
mercy on account of the great provocation which she
received." The judge (Mr. Baron Alderson), how-
ever, at the time remarked, " that the children gave
her no provocation," but that the recommendation
which had accompanied the verdict of the jury should
be forwarded to the proper quarter; but he entreated
the prisoner not to indulge any hope that it would be
of any effect. His Lordship accordingly forwarded
a copy of the evidence to Sir George Grey, Bart.,
M.P., and in answer to an application on the subject
the following letter has been received from the Home
Secretary
" Sir,—l am directed by Secretary Sir George
Grey to acknowledge the receipt of your letter of the
11th inst., respecting Harriet Parker, who was con-
victed at the last sessions of the Central Criminal
Court of murder, and sentenced to death.

" Sir George Grey desires me to inform you that
he has received from the judge before whom the pri-
soner was tried a report of the evidence, together with
the recommendation of the jury in her favour ; and I
am to express to you his regret that after a careful
consideration of the circumstances of the ewe, he is
unable to discover any ground upon which he can,
consistently with his sense of public duty, recommend
the prisoner to the mercy of the Crown, and that he
must, therefore, leave the law to take its course.

" I am, Sir, your obedient servant,
" S. M. PHILLIPPS.
