The Newberry herald. [volume] (Newberry, S.C.) 1865-1884, 1882-02-16
Court.

Our report of Court closed last week
with the verdict in the last case of the
Sessions Wednesday night. Thursday
morning the conyicts were called up
for sentence. Before passing sentence
his Honor made few remarks to the
conyics, In which he said: A Judge
ought never to bs harsh, but should in
cline to mercy as far as the law and his
duty in protecting the community will
permit. 1t is my practice never to per-
NIT conviction where the evidence
does not show guilt; but if evidence
shows guilt it is my duty to put the par
ty where he cannot repeat his ofense.
The community must be protected.
When, therefore, l pass sentence, if it
should appear to be hard it cannot be
attributed to harsbness or ill-will; but
the object is to reform the criminal and
to protect the community.
He then passed the following SEN
