Office book on the objects and organisation of the Probation Ser- vice published (Stationery Ofce, 6d) for the guidance of magistrates.

In another case quoted, A mani and woman, charged Jointly, were forbidden to speak to one another, but, as the Home Office laconically! remark, "the condition was apparent- ly more honoured in the breach than In the observance, as they were

married within a month."
