LONDON () Violent crime,
timidly lining up its head in Eng
land,' is being scourged back into
HiibmlsHlon with that old familiar
implement of justice the cat-o'-nine-tnils.
For while 10nglihmen love to
read about crimes of violence and
dote particularly on exaggerated
accounts of criminal reigns of ter
ror in American big citle, they
don't liUe crimes of violence in
their own country. In fact, they
won't stand for Ihetu.
So KngHfdi maglMtr.ite.s. are not
hesitating to revive the old cus
tom. Magistrate! at Leedn, Liverpool
and Maidstone have answered vio

eases, and here In Iondon's fa
mous criminal court, the Old
Uailey, Judges have been shaking
the dust off the cat-o'-nine-tails
nnd letting brutal offenders learn
how It feels to he treated brutally.
The magistrate who sentenced a
man to IK months' imprisonment
for attacking a girl and robbing
her did not stop with that. He
ordered fifteen strokes with the
rat by way of emphasis.
Another Justice, sentencing a
painter who had followed a serv
ant girl home and beaten nnd rob
bed her. ordered IS lashes with
the cat to supplement his Incar
ceration. 'You treated that girl with fero
cious" cruelty." he told the pris
oner, "and the only thing to do
is to make you suffer something
like the pain you inflicted on her."
A very tough young fellow, nnd
proud of It, who helped another
ruffian heat nnd rob an old man.
