- ON THE HYPNOTIC PLAN
satiricaI Forecast of Justice in the Po-
ice Courts.

The administration of Justice in the
future will soon lie the simplest thing in
the world, says Figaro. The occupation
OF Judges, barristerS and solicitors will
be gone. Punishment will be meted out
10 criminals in every town by the official
hypnotlst, who will combine the offices
OF judge, jury and counsel. Sentences
Will be regulated by a sliding scale of
punlshments. They have already in
augurated the new system III New York
AN Engllshman was taken into custody
IL an apparent state OF intoXicatiOn.
The police" runs the report, were
unable % rouse him to learn his name or
any particulars about him. one Of the
police officers was, however, equal to the
occasion. He hypnotzed the uncons-
cIous gentleman, who Immediately
answered all the questions that We're put
TO him." 1t must be clear, after this
that the old numbering system is
doomed. Justice in future Will be re-
duced to its simplest expression.
Prisoners Will be tried and sentenced
