GAROTTERS AND THE LASII.—Mr. Justice Lush
will be remembered by the Manchester garotters.
In charging the grand jury at the opening of the assizes,
the learned judge expressed his determination to award
the severest punishment the law permitted to those who
should be convicted before him of
"robbery with violence."
Twenty prisoners, men and women, who had been found
guilty of such offences, were on Monday brought up for
sentence, and, with one exception, all the male prisoners
were ordered to be flogged and kept to renal servitude
With the prospect of the lash before them, the majority ni
the prisoners, says the report, "exhibited a degree of
