How swindlers are Punished In England

Sir John D. Paul and his partners, Messrs
Sirahan and Bates, who were for many years
leading London bankers, failed some time
since, and disclosed that they had, when
pressed for money, disposed of securities
placed in their hands on deposit and applied
the money 10 their own necessities. They
were arrested and tried for The offence, and
We learn by this mail that the sentence pro-
nounced upon them is fourteen years trans
ponalion. Sir John d. Paul was baronet,
a magistrate, leading mem Der of the church
AMI of several religious and charitable soci-
elies; his connections, as we'll as those of
his psrlness, s'e kighly respectable and in.
flueptiaI. Yet they have been sentenced 20
the same punishment as would have been
allotted TO them if they had been the lowest
criminals. There is lesson in the senleuce
by which we may profit. Such swindles as
that OF Straham, Paul s. Bates have no, been
unknown in this country. But we are not
aware that any Wall street operator was ever
sentenced to fourteen yeais imprisonment, or
even four. Old England is no, afraid TO deal
out Justice.
