COMMENTING Upon the use of the stocks in Hongkong, the S. F. Press says that Mr. Sercombe Smith is a model magistrate and he has a speciil knack of making the punishment fit the crime: There may perhaps be no stocks at the Central Police Station, but that want is casily remedied. There are plenty of police cases where confinement in the stacks as a pendant to a stiff penalty would operate admir- ably. Might it be suggested to the intelligent and discriminating magistrates who adorn our local bench to use their discretion in ordering tire stocks as nu ́addition to the ordinary run of penalty. It is not needful for them to inquire beforehand whether there are stocks available or not. The fiat of the beach should be comp lied with. Let there be stocks.
