[0-304-30030-6] 1978, 1st printing. (Hardcover) Very good plus in near fine dust jacket. 173pp. Notes. The spine is lightly bumped at the top. "The Queen can be moved to grant her royal 'pardon' under Crown prerogative but, illogical as it seems, this does not wipe out the conviction - and the word 'pardon' is a misnomer: you do not pardon somebody for something he has not done. So the Home Office maintains a staff of thirty people wholly engaged in the investigation of the alleged innocence of convincted persons, if and when such instances come to light. Is this a satisfactory system? If not, can it be improved?". Book about Home Office--England & Pardon. Locale: Britain. (Law, Crime, Criminals, Law, Legal System, Royalty--England).
