valuable paper to bring before the notice of your
readers • most unusual sentamee, administered
Monday last, by Marra Mown and Peard Jilla:u
d
Petty lieesions at Dorchester. The sectionce
tOtZli I refer was one of • mooth's bard labour, to
which • boy was condemned for stealing two piney-
worth of oil cake for his rabbits Tbe boy had never
been before tits magistrates on any previous ooession,
sad bad always borue a good character. If, by such
mosptionally heavy sentences, our great unpaid expect
to reclaim sea boys to the pate of honesty, I am
afraid they will Aria it • mistake, as there is little
doubt but that they tend in the oppiulte direction, se
when the boy in question comes out of prison, after
serving • ninth's hail labour, his character is gone,
sad the most probable thing is that be will become a
malirmed criminal, for which our magistrates will be
be• grewt asteat responsible, for using such exception-
ally be. riteseuria This is onihme more, of the
