Mail remarks:-Execution by banglog is a barbarous piece of savagery. That it has survived so long is another striking example of the sheep-like conservatism that governs the world. The next reform we look for is the 'abolition of trial by jury, or at least the restriction of its use to very special cases. It is quite as bad in its way as hanging a man by the neck until he is dead. If the ignorance, credulity, and prejudice of jurors no longer offered them selves to be exploited by subtle barfisters, the miserablo burlesques so 'often played in our courts would become much-scarcer.
