LAW AND JUSTICE-OUTRAGE UPON THE PERSON-RESOLUTION-
Amendment proposed,

To leave out from the word "That" to the end of the Question, in order to add the
words "the administration of the Law in cases of outrage upon the person has
long been a reproach to our Criminal Courts; that outrages and assaults of the
most brutal character, especially upon married women, even when they cause a
cruel death, are commonly punished less severely than small offences against pro-
perty; that the admission of the crime of drunkenness as an extenuation of other
crimes is immoral, and acts as an incentive to persons about to commit outrages to
wilfully deprive themselves of the guidance of reason,"-(Mr. Macfarlane,)—
instead thereof

of the Question :"-After short debate, Question put, and agreed to.
