In the case of juvenile offenders, if the court was of opinion that the offender should not be sent to a reformatory, he might order him whipping.

If corporal punishment were to be inflicted for the offences enumerated under headings 2, 5, 6, 7, it would be introducing a new feature into our system.

Should His Excellency the Officer Administering the Government wish it, I would submit an Ordinance embodying the suggestions of the Gaol Commission and some suggestions of the Chief Justice.

Vaughan 87 Edw. J. Ackroyd, New Territories, July 21st 1886.

Earnings, stealing, or robbery can now be punished with whipping if any personal violence be used. Robbery with violence is now punished with whipping under Ordinance 3 of 1881.

I think stealing things from women or children might be punished by whipping, and also indecent assaults. This latter offence was punished with whipping Section 7 of Ordinance 1 of 1875.

The other suggestions contained in this letter would be met by repealing Ordinance 3 of 1881 and re-enacting it on a second conviction under certain conditions.
