The worst form of incompetence is perhaps that which allows a man to be competent without realising it, and, in criminal cases at least, this seems to be the normal attitude of the majority of our magistrates. We should read on this point a very curious pamphlet called Le Pli Professionnel , by Marcel Lestranger, a provincial magistrate. It is very pertinent to our subject.
M. Lestranger tells a story which, from all the information I can glean and from what I can remember hearing at the time, is absolutely true and a perfect illustration of thousands of similar cases. A poacher, aged nineteen, first outraged and then strangled in the woods a peasant woman, the mother of a family.
