General's Office,
I have examined the accompanying Ordinance, entitled "An Ordinance empowering the Courts to award whipping as a further punishment for certain crimes", and am of opinion that the Ordinance is one which is not contrary to the Governor's Instructions.
On the 8th July last I submitted to His Excellency the Officer Administering the Government a draft Ordinance enacting the punishment of whipping for -
1. Simple Larceny
2. Returning from banishment.
3. Committing any crime with violence, or being armed with violence.
4. Robbery with violence.
5. Attempting to choke with intent to commit any indictable offence.
