But though this seat is erected into a tribunal before which accusations against wrong-doers can be brought, and sentence upon them pronounced; still, whatever charges are now made, and against whomsoever they may be preferred, those charges will have to be repeated to the Lords of the Council of the Star-Chamber, before whom the accused will be taken; and any judgment now given will have to be confirmed by that high and honourable Court.
I have not a particle of sympathy with the sentimentality as I deem it, the mawkishness which overflows with foolish pity for the criminal and cares not at all for the victim of the criminal. I am glad to see wrong-doers punished. The punishment is an absolute necessity from the standpoint of society; and I put the reformation of the criminal second to the welfare of society.
which since it first abashed the devil in Paradise makes wrong-doers aware of their deformity, and yet has such subtle and penetrating might, such fascination for all finer spirits, that they have ever believed with their master, Plato, that should truth show her countenance unveiled and dwell on earth, all men would worship and follow her.
But, it was asked, what was the Attorney-General about? How was it that he, who never failed to stretch his authority to the utmost when a Reformer rendered himself amenable to the law how was it that he permitted such an outrage as this to pass without notice? Surely it was his duty to officially proceed against the wrong-doers.
To wrong-doers attention is generally unwelcome. Mok not only trod with the softness and swiftness of a panther, but he had eyes like that animal, and if there were any light at all, those eyes could make good use of it. As he neared the two men, he saw that one was scolding the other. Then he saw the other man drop down on his knees.
When serving as deputy sheriff I was impressed with the advantage the officer of the law has over ordinary wrong-doers, provided he thoroughly knows his own mind. There are exceptional outlaws, men with a price on their heads and of remarkable prowess, who are utterly indifferent to taking life, and whose warfare against society is as open as that of a savage on the war-path.
Directly a plot miscarried, he came forward zealously to punish the wrong-doers. He instigated the murder of Mr. Fox and Mr. Steele; nay, it was intended to be a general massacre of all the English in Sarawak territory; but by a mistake of the Kenowits these two unfortunates were killed prematurely. The day had not arrived, and this led to the discovery of the plot. When Mr.
Mix got up to talk, and you should have seen the way your aunt looked at him; as if he'd been a tin god on wheels and he bragged about what the League was doing, and how it had already purified the city, but that was only a beginning and what a lot more it was going to do oh, it was just ranting but everybody clapped and applauded only the man next to me said it was politics instead of reform and then he went on to talk about that ordinance 147, and what it really meant, and how they were going to use it like a bludgeon over the heads of wrong-doers, and all that sickening sort of thing and the more he talked the more I kept thinking.... My dear, all that ordinance says at least, all they claim it says is that we can't keep open on Sunday for profit, isn't it?"
The bearded man was holding up a note a pound note apparently. I saw the cabman nod. Without an instant's delay I rushed up to another cabman who had just discharged a passenger. "To Bow Road Station East!" I said to the man. "Double fare if you are quick!" It would be a close race. But I counted on the aid of that Fate which dogs the steps of wrong-doers!
Before these dark tribunals were judged, present or absent, the wrong-doers of the land, and the sentence of the secret Vehm once given, there was no longer safety for the condemned. The agents of vengeance would be put upon his track, while the secret of his death sentence was carefully kept from his ears.
