more valuable means of defense

This is a healthy sentiment, that
we hope to see spread and grow in

this policy of increasing the army

London, April 17. For some time past
there has been quite an epidemic of
crime over almost the whole United
Kingdom.' It Is with quite a thrill of
horror that one casts hla mind back
only over the last 12 months or so to
recall the abnormal . number of brutal
crimes that have been committed, mur
ders and cowardly and unprovoked as
saults, for the purpose of robbery. But
what is most appalling of 1 all are the
number of cases in which the criminal
has escaped justice.
It is. however, highway robberies, ac
companied Ty serious assaults, many of
them committed in broad daylight, that
i am now reierrmg io more particularly.
The Judges of assize would seem to be
oecoming anve none too soon to the se
riousness of the situation and as to how
much rests upon them to suppress, if
punsiuie, a reappearance or tne rODDer
who lies in ambush for an unsuspecting
victim, and have begun to blend stern
sentences of imprisonment with the ad
ministration of the cat-o'-n Ine- tails.
The latest cases this week - were at tha
Glamorgan assises, where '.Justice Law
rence has been ordering the cat more
than haa been done for yeara. He has
sentenced a footpad to seven veara'
penal servitude and 20 lashes, and other
sentences are seven years' penal servi
tude with 12 lashes, two to five years'
penal servitude each with 12 lashes, If
inuiiuiB nara laoor wiin it lasnes, 12
months' hard labor with 12 lashes, nine
months' hard labor with 12 lashea.
The Humanitarian league is up In
arms, it denies that the cat has done
more than anything else to suppress
robbery with violence. In London,
however, there are judges and others
who say that garrotting waa atamnad
out in London and the corner man an
nihilated In Liverpool by the laah.
Soma years ago Liverpool was Infested
by a band of dangerous criminals,
whose depredations and brutality
alarmed the people. Justice Day, known
aa -"the flogging judge," was sent to
the assizes' and he commenced the sys
tem of lashing criminals. . It is sup
posed that he frightened the Lanca
shire "Hooligans" out of existence, but
the Humanitarian lutua ilenlea thla.
It says that garrotting was brought to
an una as a sertous aanger oerore tne
nouse or commons - in a rit or nam.
due to one of its own members having
men Barrelled, reaonea io ; legislation.
It quotes Mr. Asqulth. who once said
garrotting was put down without a
resort to tne laah oy tne fearless ad
ministration of the existing criminal
law. .' ; .'t.v ...ii. ,.,t.
On, the other hand. Justice Pari In r,
Montague Crackenthorpe, Lord Norton
and Justice .Lawrence affirm that. gar.
rotting was stamped out in London,
Liverpool, , Manchester end other great
towns by the unsparing use of , the
lash. rf
