'Odd-Handed Justice', 1872. Artist: Joseph Swain
'Odd-Handed Justice', 1872. Two ruffians discuss their sentences, whilst Policeman A1 stands on guard. This relates to the recent criticisms being levelled at the inequality in sentences being handed down by the courts. Crimes of robbery, especially with any violence, attracted long sentences. Wife-beating, on the other hand, hardly merited any punishment at all. From Punch, or the London Charivari, April 27, 1872.
