The prisoner and others who were inclined to make money by these illegal practices must recognise that they were liable to severe punishment. The prisoner had no excuse for aiding and abetting; a boy of 17 and a girl of 15 to do what she must have known to be a grossly wrongful and wicked act. He made these remarks so that people would see that the law did not look upon such an offence with a lenient eye.</p>
