The Shortest Term OF Imprisonment,
on Record,

W NGG0Ads
The shortest term ever announced
by a Judge was in sentence passed
I by Mr. Justice Hawkins, in the latter
part of 1857, upon woman tried be-
fore him for hicamy and convicted.
There were very distressing circum.
stances connected with the ease. and
the Judge considered he could not pass
a heavier sentence than the one he
announced of five minutes imprisou-
ment, which meant. IN fact no punish
ment nj all. Although no other sen.
fences of Imprisonment have been so
short as the above, so far ms the time
mentioned in the sentence was con.
cerned, Yet eases frequently occur
where on the second or third day of
the assizes a prisoner is sentenced to
one or two days Imprisonment, and
rs the term runs from the first
day OF the assizes the effect
has been the same as in the case oft the
five minutes term passed by Mr.. jus
tice Hawkins, namely, the immediate
discharge of the prisoner sentenced.
One such case occurred in December,
1880, at the Glamorganshire Assizes at
Cardiff, when alaborer, named Char
les Nichols, pleaded guilty TO house
breaking, and the prisoners brother
appealed to the Court TO giVehis BROTH
er chance of reclamation, as he was
tho only member OF decent family
gone wrong, The Judge assented, and
sentenced the prisoner TO two days
Imprisonment, which practically
meant immediate release. a gentle
man in court then came forward and
offered the prisoner employment,
which was gratefully accepted.--Tit-
