Mr Prisley thinks, and I agree with him, that a warning might usefully be sent to the effect that whenever such legislation is introduced it should always be carefully considered whether The misdemeanour so created should not be added to the schedule of exemptions.
I also agree
If these two points are attended to, apart from their actual merits, criticism in the commons (Which is very sensitive on these points) will be disarmed.

I saw her thes Davis yesterday. He quite agreed
that the effect of
section 4 | whipping is as
set

in the preceding minute
but he has questioned
confidence is the moderation and Good sense of
the It hon, magistrates thought there was
danger of the section being used too freely than
in the benevolent spirit
what
described in

Is therefore suggested that the actual administration
of the section might wait for his return to the colony, next August when he would be able to
consult the magistrates as to the form which it should take. I said I would put this
suggestion forward.
The order have, of course, been in force since last

it contains no suspending clause,
and this thes Davis is of opinion that sec 4
has had and is likely to have no bad results, it is left until his return from leave.
