NEMESIS.
1 : "EVERY CRIMINAL IS A FOOL." , A short homily on the foolishness of crime and all criminals was delivered yesterday by the Chief Justice (Sir Robert Stout), when he was summing-up the evidence in an arson case. "Every criminal is a fool," said his Honour. "He may be a clever man, but in the end he is a fool, because he does what harms him. He. never gets, any benefit out of it. He may get some temporary gain, he may never be found out, but, in the end, there is always what the Greeka call Nemesis—something which follows up the crime, which, whether the person suffers afterwards or not, always reaches him. If our people would only realise that there is no gain from wrongdoing, there would be no crime committed ait all in the country."
