MR.: JUSTICE GOMPERTZ

MAKES EXAMPLE, É

The three mien who have "con- fessed to the brutal assault on Mrs. Deacon in Broadwood Read on Oct 4, appeared at the Criminal Ses sions this morning when they all pleaded guilty and admitted that they had worked in collusion.

"The striking feature of the whole thing," said Mr. T. M. The team, therefore, is:-A. E. Holmes-Brown (captain), G. M.Hazlerigg, Acting Crown Solicitor, Brand, W. N. Edwards, R. T. Foster, N. Grenier, P. N. Knight, Flight in opening the case before Mr. Lieut, G. E. Livock, Lieut. R. A. Phayre, D. FStiven, Lieut. F. H. Justice H. H. J.

Mr. R. H. Bike (Malaya) and Lt.-Col. T. A. Robertson (Hong-used-far more than was necessary kong) are umpires. The scorers are Messrs. V. P. Crawford for the purpose of robbery. Mrs. Deacon was thrown to the ground, (Malaya) and H. E. Holands,

According to the Doctor It was only her robust constitution which long injury, continued Mr. Hazle. saved her from serious and life- rigg. There had been previous cases lof this nature in several of which arms had been produced but the assault on Mrs. Deacon was by far the most serious that has ac- curred. The prisoners seemed im- bued with the idea of inflicting ser- ious injury.

Making An Example. After entering into particulars of the actual assault Mr. Hazlerigg called evidence after which his Lordship gave judgment

It was his intention, he said, to make an example of them. They would be sentenced to twelve years with hard labour and twenty strokes of the "cat" each. On another charge of robbing a tiesha coolie they were each sentenced to a further three years.
