The Right Honorable the Earl of Derby to E. Pierrepont, July 12, 1877
[Inclosure 2 in No. 192.]
Lord Derby to Mr. Pierrepont.
Foreign Office, July 12, 1877.
Sir: With reference to my letter of the 22d ultimo, respecting the case of Edward ‘Condon, who is under sentence of penal servitude for life, I have the honor to acquaint you that I have been informed by Her Majesty’s secretary of state for the home department that he is unable to give any other answer than that which I communicated to you on the 14th of September last, in regard to a mitigation of the convict’s sentence, but that he has caused inquiry to be made as to the prisoner’s state of health, and is perfectly satisfied that Condon is in good health, both physically and mentally.
I have the honor, &c.,
DERBY.
The Hon. E. Pierrepont, &c., &c., &c.
