In dealing with the case of Louisa Cullins in the Naw South Wales Assembly Sir Henry Parkes related the case of the woman, Mary Brownlow, who was executed several years ago at Goulbourn.

The unfortunate woman had a young child at her breast, and just before ascending the scuff fid steps gave to her child maternal nourishment, and then passed under ths hands of the bangman. A howl of indignation shot up from all sides of the House, and there were cries of “ Shame,” stc. Sir Henry added that he thought the execution an inhuman thing, but he contrasted her cue of impulsive murder with that ot the plotting Botany Borgia. NERVOUS.
