under discussion in the House of Lords. at the
date of our last English advices. aboIishing the
punishment Of death in cases of forgery. The
bill is supported by the Lord Chancellor, and op'
posed by Lord Eldon aud Lord Chief Justice
Tenterden. The last mentioned noblemen have
had the greatest experience Of any men in Eng.
land, as TO the effects of the criminal law, as
now stands, and they are decidedly opposed 10
the substitution Of transportation for death, 10
cases of forgery. Lord Eldon suggests a second
airy grade Of punishment for forgeries Of not The
mos, aggravated character; but he instanced the
celebrated case of Fauntleroy, among others, "
one for which the punishment of death was just
ly due. His Lordshp dissented from the mo
dern doctrine that the certainty of miIder P1'
nishment,is surer means Of prevention Of crime,
than the severity Of the punishment itself.
