The scrip ISSUED in 1876 by act OF

Criminal Past IL Revealed.
Another striking difference between
American and British procedure was
revealed after the verdict was re-
turned. Then. and not until then,
did Mr.. Justice Avory let those in the
courtroom know Mahon had a crimf-
nal past. Before passing sentence he
said:
The jury has arrived at the only
proper conclusion upon the evidence
laid before them. They have arrived
at that conclusion without knowing
anything of your past life. to which
you yourself made reference in your
statement to the police. which refer
ences have in mercy To you been ex-
cluded from the consideration of the
jury. They do not know that you
have already suffered a term of penal
servitude for crime of violence"
Rather a sporting thing for the
police and the court and the prosecu-
ton to have done, considering they
knew that. in May. 1916. a branch
bank at Sunningdale was burglarized
at night and a girl servant beaten on
the head with a hammer. for which
pair of crimes. burglary and felonious
assault. Mahon was arrested, tried.
convicted and sentenced to two con-
current sentences of 5 years in prison,
Mr.. Justice Darling. referring to him
as a burglar, a coward and a thor
ough-faced hypocrite. whom the army
could do without. After his prison
life he had moved to Richmond and
appeared to his new neighbors and
associates to be a normal citizen.
