PUNISHMENT OF CRIME
* "LENIENCY A MISTAKE" Judge Woinarski, of Victoria., is not a believer in the modern lenient treatment of wrongdoers. In imposing at Bendigo a sentence of two years' imprisonment recently on a 19-year-old labourer, -who pleaded guilty to having broken into* a garage and stolen a motor-car, the Judge said that when men committed offences, and were punished for it bv being sent to gaol, as in the old days, most of them never came back. They had had their punishment, and knew what it meant to offend against the law. In these times leniency was the rule, but he thought it a mistaken rule.
