Description (What the record is about)
-
Letter from C.I. Kerby regarding a 'business of public importance' regarding the granting of pardons to those convicted at quarter sessions. Some pardons have been granted without reference to the notes of chairmen of the sessions. The letter refers to 2 cases (only 1 named: Jane Herbert, convicted at the Hampshire Quarter Sessions and now granted a pardon). In both cases pardons were granted to the general disapproval of magistrates. Kerby insists that the only way of ensuring false applications ('daily and very easily obtained') are guarded against is by calling for a report of the presiding magistrate via the chairman of quarter sessions through the clerk of the peace.
