By this conviction, so far as it existed, and at any rate by the belief of the mother, not sustained by undisputed medical testimony, that the boy’s health would suffer from the infliction of three or four cuts of the cane administered through his clothes, the boy himself has been made to suffer much more severely, albeit indirectly and consequentially, than if he had taken his punishment like any other boy and thereby purged his offence once for all. He had been brought into quite unmerciful publicity as a boy who had to leave his school because his mother would not allow him to be caned, and he is hardly likely to meet with a very friendly reception at any other school to which his mother may now desire to send him.
