the opinion that the system to the clam% now piectised
of granting tickets-of-teave is S.F4iit" in the essential
points for which it was eat:o6oM, both as regards the
reformation of criminals/old the protection of society.
It has rendered the sentences of the law quite un-
oertais, wad in so rendering them uncertain has
deprived them of their chief deterring effect. It is our
opinion also that the discipline in our gable and penal
stations is not effective in its character. We de net

present system required great modification. The con-

not think the ntinistement was sufficient for many
classes of crime* rriminals got so hardened that they
almost preferred being in prision. His lordship, in tion•

Timigrs•or-Lestit.--At the Oxford eindiell, last
weak, Mr. Justice Mellor, in ehttging the grand
jury, said it appeared ttd Mai that penal servitude
or imprisonment had no terror for confirmed
criminals, Ind thie consideration induced him to '
refer to the theory on whioh the penal system of 1
this country was carried out, and how far 1* hid '
succeeded or failed. The question *ele, Perhaps,
not yet quite ripe for eonsidettetidn, but he did not
concur in the retwarke tbitt had been made elsewhere
in regard to ttetet'-ofleave convicts. He would not
say that was a good system, and he had always
thotight we had been too hasty in abandnning the
old system of transportation, for he thoitght there
was little chance of reforming the old and eonfireied i
