LONDON.— violent crime, timidly'
lifting up its head in England;, is
being scourged beck into submission.'
with that .old, familiar implement? of
justice—the cat-o-nine-tails..
For wn Englishmen love to read
about crimes of violence, and dote
particularly on exaggerated accounts
of criminal-reign of terror in. Amet
fact, they won't stand fear: them. .
ica’s big cities, they uon’t like crimes
Of violence in their o\vjr country- Ln

not stoop with that; Hit ordered 15
