Court admires teacher’s caning technique
When a schoolmaster was before an English
court on an assault charge after administering six-of-the-best to his pupil,
the magistrate remarked, ‘I don’t suppose he liked it, but unless it is
something which does leave a mark it is completely useless. The marks seem to
have been well grouped on that part of the anatomy that was constructed for
that particular purpose.’

Another victory for common sense and very pleasing that the father had to pay the court costs too. The magistrate clearly knew what should be expected from a properly applied caning.
ReplyDeleteSo ex public schoolboy, Magistrate Collins, not only approved of the caning, but also of it being well applied. He then congratulated the master on his grouping of the stripes!
ReplyDeleteI would like to think he was serving on the bench way before 1947 and so ordered many a juvenile delinquent the birch.
The cane is needed today it should never have been abolished.
ReplyDeleteIt would stop lots of the trouble that is caused by teenage boys.
