CORPORAL PUNISHMENT IN THE

There is teason to believe that much miscon. explicu exista in the public wind às fu the con- ditions nuder which corperal punishment io in ficted in the Royal Navy. The term "fog. ging," for example, is opt to be loosely and Wrongly used, and probably very for civilians are assure that Bogging with thự “ab-o'-nine- tails" is a pauisamout which it is still within the powers of a anval court-martial, and even of Daval captain, to award. The subject is of *.spacial interest just now in consequence of cor, espondence that has been enrried on in tho Press, and by mason of the protest addrossed to the First Lord of the Admiralty by the Humanitarian League. The Socisty in ques- tion as thonght fit to remonstrate with. Mr. Gosehen iu vonnoption with the sentence inflicted upon the boy Leonard Hill. That -youth, it will be ronismbered, was sentenced to two year's beed labour, plus 24 cala with the kirch-rod and eubsequent dismissal from the service. The Humanitarian League used the form "flogging" in this conuertion, and many perone who read the letter addressed to Mr. Boschou reap have nsumed that the font" wit

All this partakes of the obviona, ovoa of the platitude, but it ia necessary to commit platitudes when the Bumaniterion Leaguo writes hysterical appeals to the Admiralty and infames the public mind against the principles of good order aleat,
