CLENIENCY.

The Bill allowing Magistrates, upon
the request of the Marshal, Sheriffs
or other similar officials, to suspend
sentence upon prisoners passed its
third reading yesterday, and will now
take its chances in the Senate.
AS the Bill stood originally the
time for which sentence could be sus-
pended was two years. This seemed
too long time for probation, and va
rious terms were suggested, the low
est being six months. The time was
fixed finally sat thirteen months.
There was considerable opposition
to the bill, but it is one that commends
itself to the minds of many people.
Because a man commits a crime, it is
not absolutely necessary that you
should at once shut him up in jail OF
course it is competent for the judge
in any case to let prisoner go with
a reprimand or a warning, but when
he has done that the prisoner is en-
tirely free, and reprimands or warn
send man to jail is to brand him as
a gallow's bird for the rest of his life,
and it is not necessary to so brand ev
cry one who gets into the clutches of
the law, sometimes through weakness
and sometimes through inadvertence
The old, eye for an eye, and tooth
for tooth, system of Jurisprudence is
giving way to more gentle methods,
just as the old order of theology from
which the quotation is made, gave
way to the new, which says you must
forgive your brother not seventy
times, but seventy times seven.
To suspend sentence upon person
doesn't necessarily make a cur of that
person. 1t is a punishment, but "a
doer: | will let you go, but | will put
you on probation for a term of
months; if during that time you be-
have yourself, you shall be entirely
free. Meanwhile continue your ordi-
nary avocation, earn money, save
money, spend money, do exactly as
you please, but do not break the law.
If you do, sentence will be imposed.
One fails to see how this is going to
make cur of any one, or how such a
one is going to lose self respect.
But sending a person to Jail is apt
to do both. The Star does not think
that dressing man in glaring striped
clothes to distinguish him from his
fellows, to march him through the
streets to his work with armed guards
and followed by men on horseback
carrying rifles, is calculated to raise
anyone's self respect. Associatlng
with other felons, some of whom are
improve "A mans moral tone. The de-
iteration of man when mixed with
bad characters is very noticeable. The
way the prison system has to be con-
Quoted both here and on the other Is
lands is calculated to harden the pris-
oner, instead of reforming him. 1t is
to be hoped that means may be found
for improving the system, but as it
stands now its effect is to lower the
moral tone of those who are commit
ted for petty offences for short terms.
Now it seems that if the Magistrate
can suspend sentence in light cases, ID
great gain is made. And the gain is
not only for the prisoner, but for the
State, for the State has not then any
need of supporting the wrong doer,
and prisoners are tax, and heavy
one, upon the law.abiding citizens OF
any State. 1t is to be hoped that the
bill will pass the Senate.
