T. C. DEMPETER, Acting Captain Superintendent, Nozz.Of the twenty-five prisoners sentenced to be flogged by the Police Hagistrate, the Governor allowed the foggings in twenty-four cases. The only case in which he interfered was that of Ip Ayow, a little boy who stole a look at the Reformatory and was told he would be fogged if he did not confess the theft, whereupon he confered the theft and was sentenced to be flagged. The Governor declined to allow that part of the sentence to be carried out.
Of the five prisoners sentenced to be publicly Bogged with the oat on the back by Mir John Smale, the Governor allowed the first two to be so dogged, but on discovering the exe tent of the physical injury that had been indicted, and on getting a report from the Colonial Surgeon against flogging Chiness on the back, he asked Sir John Smale to pass in future sentences of flogging in such a form as the Colonial Surgeon could certify might be carried put, that is with a rattan on the breech. Sir John declined to do this. Thereupon, Hennessy referred the next case to the Attorney General, to advise whether he could alter the sentence to greet the Colonial Surgeon's certificate, but the Attorney General said the Governor could not alter either the place (the back) or the instrument (the oat) specified by Sir John Smale, and that he could only exercise his prerogative of remitting the fogging in toto; and as no flogging can take place without the Colonial Surgeon. certificate, and as the Governor agreed with the Colonial Surgeon, the foggings on three of those sentenced by Sir John Smale had to be remitted.
а
The three prisoners senteneed to be fogged by the Acting Chief Justice Mir Snowden were duly flogged. In one of these casse a delay of some days occurred owing to the absence of the Colonial Surgeon's certifnate when the papers were laid before the Governo and this was explained by fact that Mr Snowden bad forgotten to specify that thi dogging was to be with a rattan on the breech. On the papers being returned to him, he explained that it was by an oversight this was omitted, and thereupon the Colonial Burgeon appended his certificate, and the Governor allowed the flogging.
Of the twenty-four flogging aantonces passed by the Superintendent ar Visiting Jus tices of the Gaol, bir Hennessy allowed twenty-two to be carried out. One case he referred back to the Visiting Justices for their reconsideration, when they themselves withdrew the sentence of Hogging on the ground that the prisoner had been ordered to do shot drill when on penal diet, which was a breach of rule and of the instructions from Her Majesty's Government; and one other case be investigated himself with the Visiting Justices and the Colonial Surgeon, when it was discovered that one of the arms of a prisoner who had objected to crank lapon was quite withered from an old wound, the elbow joint and one finger permanently fixed, and that he had been just subjected to punishments in prison which the Attorney General reported were not lawful. In this case the prisoner was ordered to do another kind of hard labour such as the Colonial Surgeon could certify he I was phaatralle capable of åciar, and, as he obeand this order, the desging was remitted,
