FLOGGING IN PAPUA
DISCUSSION IN AUSTRALIAN NEWSPAPERS. Melbourne, March 4. Considerable capital is being made out of a statement by u Federal, member of Parliament that German Now Guinea natives were flogged with the consent of the Administration. The Minister of Defence replies that floggings up to twenty lashes aro permitted under the strictest official surveillance for the grossest offence. Under the German Administration private persons were allowed to floqr natives for the most trivial' offences. The natives were so long used to this form of punishment that the British authorities decided that it was necessary to retain corporal punishment in a modified form as a deter-, rent to crime.—Press Assn.
