FLOGGING PREFERRED.
_ * , . . ■ AN APPEAL FAILS. LONDON, December 18. The Appeal Court dismissed the appeal of John Seymour and his wife, who were convicted of having bound and gagged Mra Riichardson and robbed her house .at Woking, -where they had been employed as servants. Seymour was sentenced to seven years' imprisonment and 20 strokes with a single-leather thong, wielded by. a warder, and his wife to three years' imprisonment. Sevmour petitioned for an increase in the flogging and a reduction of his term. "So much," the Lord Chief Justice (Baron Hewart) commented, "for those who deplore corporal punishment. Apparently a flogging affects the person who receives it less than those who hear about it."
