A Healthv AdminiEtrRt tIoR OF jas
'tcs by an EngIisn court.
Liverpool Post.l
A young man named Howard,
charged with woundihg woman,
was ordered by Mr.. Justice Lindley
to be kept in penal seryitude for
twenty years. There was nothing
singular about the case except the
sentence, and it is to be regretted
that the severity Of that should be
at all remarkable. The most shock
ing feature Of modern low life in
very large towns is the brutal
readiness with which thc knife is
brought into play on the occasion
of a miserable street brawl, or an
otherwise trivial home disturbance.
The practice is often condemned
as un-English, because the pugilis-
tic Briton is supposed to have a
prediction for the fair use of his
fists. The present disposition,
however, of that courageous per-
sonage seems TO be to plunge his
knife into the breast Of the first
man, woman or child who excites
his rufianly passion. In this case,
for instance, all that The prosecutrix
had done to provoke Howard's
wrath was to remonstrate with her
husband, who had been drinking
with him. This wilely solicitude 50
offended the prisoner that he rushed
at her, stabbed her, inflicted dan
gerOus wound, and then tried to stab
her again. In all probability, up
to the very moment when the SEN
tence wss passed, it never occurred
to him that this was an offense
which the law would punish very
severely. He no doubt looked upon
it as an unfortunate but quite q
common incident of drunken de-
bauches among his order, and ex-
pected at the most a few months
Imprisonment. When he heard
that the little affair had cost him
his liberty for twenty years, he
{" wrung his hands and cried bitter
ly" The scene was sdifying, and
might be reproduced with advan-
tage in every case of this sort. The
finer feelings of such men can only
be efectuaiiy appealed to through
the ageDcy of the segerest diScip-
line. A few sentences Of twenty
years penal servitude would deyel-
op in them all the tcndSrness Of
which they are capable, and perhaps
enable them, in the course Of time,
to comprehend that IN their own
interests, as well as those of society,
they really must refrain from
" drawing the blood" Of every per-
sou who happens 10 become I'M
pleasant to them in their drunken
revelries.

Upon the platform were Judges
Barrett, Van Worst Daniels and

The lecture was iuterspepSed With
numerous anecdotes, which elected
applause and laughter,
Judge Brady said that the sug-

Aatranre gTdIcIaI Error.

One of the most extraordinary
judicial errors on record was reoti,
tied in the first week of this year in
Bristol, England. A man named
Lewis had been convicted on a
charge of stealing books. A few
days later it was found that the
grand jury had failed to find a true
bill against him, and had ignored
the change for want Of evidence,
Nevertheless the magistrate had
convicted him, although he had not
even been indicted, and when the
order arrived for his release, he had
been close cropped and dressed in
convict uniform, Lewis threatened
an action for damages, but his
chance of redress probably depends
largely upon his pecuniary means,
