Of the interminable train of shames and brutalities entailed by this pernicious system, I shall mention here only a single one the sentencing and punishment of an accused person in the midst of the proceedings against him, and while his guilt is not finally and definitively established.
One famous judge, who was afterwards governor, when sentencing a murderer, impressed it upon his mind, and wished him to inform his friends, that it was the jury and not the judge who had found him guilty, and then asked him on what day he would like to be hanged. It is needless to say that the bench and bar were not all of this class.
As she was trying to recover her breath, she thought of sentencing me to a good penance: she hid herself behind a tree and told me, a minute afterwards, that I had to find her ring. She had concealed it about her, and that was putting me in possession of all her person.
So it was with Maskew's words; for he had much ado to gather breath to say them, and they came in a thin voice that had no sting of wrath or passion in it. Then Elzevir spoke to him, not roughly, but resolved; and yet with melancholy, like a judge sentencing a prisoner: 'Talk not to me of gibbets, for thou wilt neither hang nor see men hanged again.
They might convict him, and then Butler's Judge Payderson would have the privilege of sentencing him giving him the maximum sentence. That would not be so nice five years! He cooled a little as he thought of it, but there was no use worrying about what had not yet happened.
The words sounded in her own ears as if she were sentencing herself to leave heaven. Her mother could not be allowed to marry George Boult; she could not remain in the shop. How were she and Bessie to live? With the vanity of youth, which always sees itself in the foreground, Deleah thought she perceived that it was she who must get a living for them all.
Use on the other hand the instrument of civilization, without sentencing any one, and brigandage and robbery will disappear before its light. And if human beings in large industrial centers are herded together in tenements and slum hotels, how can a humane judge aggravate the penalties against sexual crimes?
"And the girl?" "She asked me if I had done it she would believe no one else. I said yes; and that ended it. Her father tried to get me to explain he was the Judge who was to have tried me I refused and he begged to be released from sentencing me that's all he could do for either of us." "And your mother?" A sob rose in Joyce's throat.
Her picture of the "Last Moments of Egmont" is in the Ghent Museum; among her other historical pictures are "Melancthon Predicting Prince Willem's Future" and "Elizabeth Sentencing Mary Stuart," which is in the Hague Museum. The "Obstinate Scholar" and "Happier than a King" are two of her best genre pictures.
If a starving man had gone into any one of the Astor houses and stolen even as much as a silver spoon, the Law would have come to the rescue of outraged property by sentencing him to prison. Or if, in case of a riot, the Astor property was damaged, the Law also would have stepped in and compelled the county to idemnify.
