which he says the Beers commenced d
very determined attack, in great force
upon my outyil g positions again to-
day.
1t was chiefly directed against Car
sar's camp and wagon line.
The Beers were in great strength
and pushed the attack with the great
est courage and energy.
Some Of our intrcnchments on the
wagon line were three times taken.
The enemy retained one Of these
positions nearly the whole day.
At dark during heavy rainfall
they were forced to retire from this
position at the point Of the bayonct.
Gen. Gallant 5 men had a very try
ing time but behaved eXcellently in
service to the queen.
The Beers are reputed to have
everywhere suffered heavy loss, greatly
exceeding that on our side as our men
were behind intrenchmentS.

poration; Z. E. Hart, Fred B. Street and
William M. Parsons
The formal resolution follows:
Resolved, That the law should pro-
vide for moderate whipping, admiuie-
tered in private, as mode of punish
ment to which juvenile offenders may be-
/ sentenced for petty offences, in lieu Of
| imprisonment.
Resolved, That whipping is also an
appropriate mode of punishn ent for the
ruffian class.
Resolved, That fines can in many

police and justice courts could be in
creased by the employment of probation

Resolved, That labitual and incor-
rigibe wrongdoere, even in respect to
petty offences, become thereby subject to
the righG of the State to restrain their
liberty for the remainder of their Ii 5es
aid to take such measures as will effect
