PROTECTION OF CHILDREN

AMENDMENT OF CRIMES ACT. SOCIETY PRESIDENT EXPRESSES CONCERN. (By Telegraph—Press Association.) WELLINGTON, This Day. The Society for the Protection of Women and Children views with concern the amendment to the Crimes Act. In a statement, Mrs John O’Shea, the president, said the society considered that the protection of defenceless little children should be the paramount consideration in these cases, and strongly protests against the abolition of the deterrent of corporal punishment. “This society is peculiarly fitted to express an opinion in this matter, owing to the wide practical experience it has gained in dealing wih cases of this nature during the past 43 years of social work in this city. We view with alarm the prospect of men of such evil propensities being free from the fear of corporal punishment, as a prison sentence, with probable curtailment owing to good behaviour while in prison, is totally inadequate, in view of the gravb and serious nature of these offences,” she said.
