passed law auth oriEing the intictiop
| OF corporal punis bment upon men for
whipping their wives. There have been
several cases OF wile-beating since the
enactment OF the statute, but magls
trates have hesitated IN ordering the
use Of the lash. A Justice OF the Peace
| in Colusa, however, resolved 10 enforce
the law, and sentenced man convicted
| OF beating his wife to receive twenty
one lSshes on his bare back. The attor-
ney fer the defendant has appealed
| against the conviction and sentence,an
this will probably raise the lestion as
| TO the constitutionaiity Of the act. The
| Constitution Of California says, SEX
cess.ve bail shall not be required, nor
excessive rines enforced, nor shall cruel
or unusual punishments be infected"

cruel and unusual punishment.
