MANsLAueHTER BY BICYCLE.
What an English Judge Had to Say
About Searching.

/ WnAG an EnSllbh hh0 ~ Guy
| About Searching.
Criminal liability for the reckless
riding of bicycle was visited with a
sentence of four months hard labor
in the recent English case of Regina
| against Parker, which was tried at
| Lcwes assizes. The defendant was
charged in an indictment for man
slaughter and also for furiously driy-
.ng a carriage or vehicle contrary TO
section IS of the offenses against the
person act of 1861. The sentence was
imposed upon a plea of guilty to the
second Indictment. This plea was ac-
copied, although the prosecution con-
sidered that u conviction for maui
slaughter would be supported. The
Law Journal quotes Mr. Justice law
kins as saying that the counsel for the
prosecution had very mercifully asked
only for a conviction on an Indictment
to which the prisoner was ready to
plead guilty, and that he was glad that
some one had thought fit to rut the
law in motion and let those who are
careless and reckless of the lives Of
others know that they were punishable
by the law. The justice also said that
a man or woman who rides bicycle il
bound to conduct it with care and cau-
ton, and no more entitled to ride rcc!l-
lessly and furiorsly than to drive
cart at a furious pace through the
street.
Laws or ordinances on this subject,
rs on all others, are made only for
those who are either mentally or moral
" deficient, and not for those who arc
intelligent and conscientious enough
not TO need them. The interesting and
innocent party who, for time whereof
the memory of man runneth not to the
contrary, has been carrying gun and
did not know it was loaded has now
exchanged it for a wheel, and his works
do follow him. His victim is often u
fellow-wheelman, but more often it is
an elderly lady or small child. Pusil-
luminous municipal authorities have in
many places failed to check the in
crease of these crimes. In other places
the authorities have been more effect
i've. To make the law of the subject
plain TO the limited comprehension OF
scorchers a few convictions of man
slaughter will probably be necessary.
