yesterday, that the deterrent effect of flogging as a preventive of crime is in the publicity of that punishment. This has been the expressed opinion of each judge who from 1865 to 1878 has from this Bench directed floggings to be inflict- ed publicly." It is a pity that the Obiof Justice appears in this matter to lack the courage of his opinions. While avowing that publicity la a valuable feature in floggings, and that he is bound by precedent to direct that flogging ahall be carried out in public, His Lordship sacrifices his official and personal dignity to some extent by sentencing criminals to be whipped in private. The Chief- Justice probably knows what is desirable for the criminal class of this Colony as well as any man on the Island, and he announces from bis seat on the Bonch that the deterrent effect of flogging as a preventive of crime is the publicity of that punishment. His Lordship proba bly knows also the laws of the Colony as well as any man living, and he stated in Court cas day previous to his trip to England that his discretion in respect to whipping in public was absolutely bound, he must order them to take place in public, and be was loft free only in regard to the number of strokes to be inflicted. Yet yesterday the Chief Jus tica deferred to the high sathority of the Paisne Judge, on the plea that he folt it practically desirable to do so.
