10 A bill to secure sound sleep to the war
den of the State Prison, passed the House of
Representatives, Saturday. 1t specifies and
establishes what qualities of murder shall be
considered murder in the first degree, and
punishable with death. Among the specifca.
tons are, murder committed within the pre-
cincts ola court house or prison, and murder Of
an officer in the discharge of his duties" The
first of these two amendments seems to us
absurd and cruel. All kinds Of murder may
be committed within the precincts specified,
without deriving especial sacrilege or enormi-
ty from their locality. Indeed it is possible
they might be committed under circumstances
which would greatly palliate the guilt of the
criminal, and entitle him to the mercy of the
court by which he was tried. But the law
leaves no discretion to either juries or courts
but to hang whoever Is convicted. The result
will undoubtedly be to prevent convictions in
all but the most aggravated cases.
