SEXUAL OFFENDERS.
FLOGGING SUGGESTED. By Telegraph.—Pres3 Association. Wellington, Last Night. While sentencing a prisoner at the Supreme Court for indecent assault on a little girl, the Chief Justice (Sir Robert Stout) had something to say in regard to tbe necessary deterrent. He said that, as far as sexual cases were concerned, he had noted what had been said by Justice Stringer. He (Sir Robert Stoat), in his twenty years' experience on the Bench, had never ordered a man to be flogged, but if sexual cases were going to increase, and the lives of little I children were not going to be safe in I the country owing to their being attackied by scoundrels, then he would have Ito very seriously consider having to I order that the utmost rigor of the law should be applied to offenders.
