the same class or description varies so much as it does, it is necessary that the power of varying the punishment in proportion should be en- trusted to the Judges who try them. But it is not necessary, that Judges should be left with- out any other guide or limitation has their own inclination. In civil matters many things, are left in the discretion of the Judge, but this has never been supposed to mean that the Judge decides them arbitrarily accord- ing to his inclination. Rules and principles are agreed upon among the Judges, or established by precedent, from which-no-Judge. would feel at liberty to depart. Indeed, it has bean fald down that legal discretion is the ex- ercise of a sound judgment atcording to rules and principles of law. And if this be so in civil matters, is it not much more important that it should be so in criminal matters? It is thought intolerable that the decision of cases in equity should depend upon the conscience of a Chan- cellor, which may vary in different Chancellors just as the length of their feet varies, and equity lawyers have repudiated such a change as de grading to the character of the Court; but if this

It would be interesting to know tow many forgers have served sentences of less than two years for their offences. It was by dó' means unusual to hear, certain Judges tell the prisoners that the lowest punishment the law. allowed for this offence was two years' imprison- meat, but if at the end of 12 months their conduct in gaot appeared to be satisfactory, a remission would be recommended, in some cases the period has been reduced to six months, and in others to three.

with respect to minimum punishments under the Criminal Law Amendment Act, but even if the law were to be carried out strictly, there would still be a latitude so great that the inequality of sentences for crimes of the same magnitude would be practically untouched. For offences punishable with aye years' penal sorvitude, which means in effect five years' imprisonment with hard labour, not less than one year's imprison- ment can be assigned; but if Judge.

stances which would render even the minimum panishment wholly disproportionate to the crim inality or moral turpitude of the case. Judge must nevertheless pass the sentence, but in doing so he often proclaims it a sham by THE "LOFTUS stating that he will recommend a reduction to the Executive. This is not calculated to inspire respect towards our laws, but rather to exhibit them to the public as harsh and severe, imposing punishment which ought not to be carried out. But even this is not the worst: Juries are led to look upon themselves as protectors of the public against harsh laws. When to this is added the principle that a prisoner is always eatitled to the benefit of a doubt, and when both these levers are ably plied by a powerful advocate for the defence. the probability of a correct verdiet may be fairly estimated, bearing in mind that one dissentient on the jury will secure the prisoner against conviction. Moreover, if a juror be satisfied that a prisoner's guilt is proved, but sees that the lowest punish- ment the law allows is greatly in excess of the merits of the case, ha is sometimes sadly per Plexed, and it may be feared that he top often has regard rather to what appears to him to be the interests of humanity than even to the solemn eath which he has taken, to give a true verdict according to the evidence.
