Report on Ordinance No..

3

of 190 3.

I have examined the accompanying Ordinance, entitled

An Ordinance to amend the Laws relating to the

Punishment of flogging,

and I am of opinion that the Ordinance is one which is not contrary to

the Governor's Justructions.

The object of this Ordinance is to regulate sentences

of flogging and to limit the number of strokes which may be

awarded by any such sentence.

Hewi Berkeley

Attorney General.
