The New SEDUCTION BILL IN ENGLAND.--
ASdst the spawn OF legislation which may perhaps
quicken into lite, there is now a bill headed Sc
duction," &c. 10 give Summary power 70 justices
of the peace, in special sessions assembled, in
tain cases of seduc ion or breach OF promise OF
rage" We can hardly conceive anything more
absurd than this bill, and yet its provisions al
most necessarily TO spring from the vale changes
which have been already made in cur laws and is
prepared and brought in" By two very respectable
men, as we believe.
In truth, the whole end and object of the measure,
though Is promoters may not themselves be aware
Of the fact, is to Gil up the gao and deficiency which
has been created By the New Poor Law, in deprivisg
unhappy girls who have been seduced from the path
OF virtue, OF the power Of a ating their illegmate
Offspring. The victims OF deception may, By this
bill their berayers for damages after the child is
borH, at court OF special sessions; and the court
may award any sum not exceeding $50. and ia de-
fault OF payment OF which six months imprisonment
The rest OF the verbisge of the bill is spent pro.
viding measures for its own execution. The above
is tae sum and substance Of it. We thought Of pre-
senling ii wholly TO icrs but it is too absurd
TO suly columns though not so to occupy the at
tention Of the reformed House of Commons
One circumstance, however, connected with it
deserves peculiar attention. The public is fully
aware If the vast increase Of infanicde which has
taken place In the country since the New Poor Law
Bill has been IN operation. The bill of which
now speaking seems TO measure the present amount
of that dreadful crime; l'r, how MANY special ses-
sons in year do our readers suppose provides for
the specific purpose Of supplying funds for the dis
tre.sed mothers or their supporters, OF iegtinste
child.en3 Eight! eight, We copy this particular
clause in the ell that our readers may be assured
there is 40 mistake-
3 Sand be it enacted, that the Justices Of the
peace assembled at such special sessions, having
heard all thu evidence sdduced either side, shall
adj adicate thereon, either by acqGitting the person
charged aforesaid, or by nhctiag such penalty
or punishment as is hereinafter cnacted and such
judgment shall be final and conclusive TO ali intcnts
and purposes Whatsoever"
We do aot know what stage the bill NAV be in for
what is called the summary punishment Of juvenile
offenders, tut we think, as we before stated, that
any MEASURE tending, in whatever degree, TO dis
pens. with the trial by jury, should be view ed with
extreme jealousy -tLondoa Times.
