ELB reign pice averaging the hair presented an obvious method which was taken advantage of, and identity was secured with disgrace indeed to the offender, but without bodily harm or lasting injury. It was considered to be the second most effective and merciful punishment that could have been devised, and that it left the bystanders free among victorious offenders.

It has never been inflicted unless for serious offence, as in cases where unusual severity was necessary for the well-being of the Community following it. The following list is extracted from the Record of Police cases, commencing from the establishment of a Police Court since May 1841, to the present time, and will show at one view the extent of the punishment and the nature of the crimes for which it has been inflicted. No case has been inflicted for more than registration. The punishment of Shaving the head has been adopted only in cases where the offender had been previously convicted and was a notorious character.

I must, Chief Magistrate, be remembered too, that for a long time the powers of the Chief Magistrate were necessarily very great; and that his court being the only Court, every case, civil or criminal, was brought for his decision. He was instructed and indeed obliged in most cases, however serious, to decide summarily.
