text_original: One hundred felonies were by a stroke of the pen removed from the category of capital offences, and before he finally left the Home Office in 1830 he had the satisfaction of knowing that the death penalty could no longer be pronounced, much less enforced, except upon offender's convicted of serious crime. This was Peel's most substantial achievement as Home Secretary, but it was not the only one.
