8th July, 1886.
I have the honour to transmit herewith a draft Ordinance giving power to the Supreme Court and to the Police Magistrate to inflict corporal punishment in certain cases.
This draft carries out the recommendations of the Cool Commission that whipping should be inflicted for petty theft and for returning from banishment; and hereunder it revives part of the legislation which existed on this subject prior to the passing of Ordinance 3 of 1881.
In accordance with the recommendations of the Cool Commission I propose to
The Hon'ble J. Stewart, LL.D.
Acting Colonial Secretary
