LONDON, Feb. 1 (by mail)-—Em
ployment of the “unwritten law” as
I
a cloak behind which soldiers may
plead justification of capital crimes
I resulting from conjugal infidelities has
! again aroused criticism throughout
England. The action of a London
judge in binding over to keep the
peace a soldier who had shot his un
faithful wife dead has called forth the
comment from the Manchester Guar
i dian that "the courts are beginning to
treat certain offences by soldiers in
the same spirit as the church granted
indulgences to Crusaders.”
In the most recent case, the accused
pleaded guilty to manslaughter in
killing his wife, and the crown, ac
; cePting the plea, offered no evidence
on the charge. In deciding the judge
said:
I have to inflict punishment such
j as a reasoned and instructed public
| opinion will believe is fitting to the
I case’ antl 1 believe that no body of
instructed and reasoned men would
believe chat punishment in a Bense of
imprisonment is fitting to this case."
He then ordered the prisoner to ba
bound over “to come up for judg
ment if called upon.”
Commenting on the case the Man
chester Guardian said:
'To allow the liberty of private
vengeance is to dissolve society into
its anarchic atoms and to negate the
reasons of state which substituted
the national and royal courts for the
courts of local and personal prejudice.”
