But public sentiment, in Me SIMPSON's opinion, has gone far beyond this. "In the magazines and newspapers that are ordinarily regarded as reflecting puòlic opinion articles un crime and punish ment are commoner than they ever were, and the sentiment that is expressed towards the criminal is almost universally compassionate and often sympathetic to an extent that no previous generation has shown. From some of the 'expressions used it might almost seem that the reading public is on the sile of the criminal as against the law, and is ready to accept without corroboration anything he may say to impugn the ministra Prays.|tion of justice."
