Thuggery In Britain
Arouses Public
Public Demand For Return Of Flogging
London, Dec. 9/
Thuggery, as evidenced by acts of razor slashers, coshers and gun- men, has become such a menace in big cities in recent times that a public cry has gone up for the return of flogging.
Some 120 magistrates in Manchester held a private meeting at which a resolution was passed urging the re-introduction of flogging as a deterrent for violent law-breakers.
The resolution, which is being sent to the Home Secretary, the Lord Chief Justice and Members of Parliament representing Manchester, asks that Section II of the Criminal Justice Act, 1948, which took away from `judges and magis- trates the power to order flogging, be repealed.
