QUR LONDON LETTER.

· (From Our Own Correspondent.)

LONDON, December 12th. Sir Robert Anderson has published in the Nineteenth Century, an article on

THE PUNISHMENT OF CRIME,

which is atracting the widest attention, not only in this country but on the Continent also. The late Chief of the Criminal Investigation Department brings unequalled knowledge to bear upon his subject, and his opinion that our penal system, as now administered, is abso. lutely illogical and futile, is therefore one which is rightly entitled to the profoundest con. sideration of all those cancerned in the detec tion and prevention of crine, wherever English law obtains throughout the world.

The central principle of the reform advocated by Sir Robert Anderson is that punishment

should be made to fit the criminal and not the crime. The First Offenders'. Act and a few other statutes recognise, with certain limitations, that this object is the ideal at which judical retribution should alm, but the older theory that, for example, theft is theft, no matter what the circumstances, and must be penalised as such, still forms the basis of our criminal law,

serving his punishment, willi almost certainly" revert to his former life, would be permanently detained for the good of the general public. Ho would undergo a certain penal period as fixed by the Bench, and then be drafted into a "Prison Asylum." Here sufficient work would be required of the inehates to make these establishments entirely...self-supporting, but otherwise discipline would not be unneces sarily strict. Bad behaviour, refusal to work, or attempted escape would be visited by re- committal to ordinary gaol.

Students of criminology, lawyers and others concerned in the preservation of society, ar DEEPLY IMPRESSED

with the proposal, which is most favourably received on all hands, but whether any steps will be taken by, the authorities to introduce leg slation which will enable the system to ba tried, it is difficult to say. It is so much easier to talk and to write, than to do.

Once again this country has been

SWEPT BY STORMS

---wind, bail and snow have been the order of the day this week. The fall of snow, was indeed very small in London, though sufficient to make many streets a hideous quagmire, but in the country and Scotland drifts many feet deep have formed, and a few places were snowed up. The usual sad tale of deaths from expo. sure has been recorded, and an enormous num ber of wrecks have occurred on the south and east coasts, chiefly of fishing craft, though a few small steamers, including one with a crew of 28, have been lost with all hands, Prophets agree in foretelling an exceptionally severe winter. Fortunately the price of coal has fallen considerably, though still a good deal above the average of the five years preced·.· ing last season,

Some heart-burning has been occasioned among Anglo-ladjans and China folk at home, by the cabled reports of Lord Curzon's Rangoon speech relative to

THE YUNNAN RAILWAY.

I am inclined to think, however, that it is rather the manner than the matter of the Viceroy's upcompromising statements that inomentary soreness. Naturally all people concerned in British commerce in the Far East would, dearly like to see the trade of Western China tapped by a line of English construction, connecting with an English port, but I am bound to admit, that I have, so far, met no one, equipped with a knowledge of the country bo tween the frontier of Yunnan, and the present termination of the Mandalay milway, across which the proposed line would run, who believed it to be practical. An officer who had spent.some time in that part of the world, scouted the scheme as preposterous, on the ground of the geographical conditions. Lord Curzon then, who has that knowledge which his critice have not, is without doubt'right in his decision, but merchants who cannot but regret the fact that the French railway between Tonkin and Yun- will now control the best part of the trade of S.W. China, are inclined to reseat the descrip- tion of their cherished illusion, as "midsum mer madness" The press has few comments on the subject as yet-none of any value--- probably because the newspaper world is as ignorant, as the rest of the public, as to the

merits of the case.

In the latter, the Garmans are expressly exonerated from all blame con- cerning the deaths of the men who were attempting to arrest the madman.
