London was wrapped in the darkness of night. A casual pedestrian, had he chanced to pass the House of Commons, would probably have stopped to admire its solemn dignity. His eye would have strayed upward, climbed the tower on which sits "Big Ben" and would have seen the light which shines above go out?the sign that a session had just ended.

Fain '27, upheld the affirmative and based the main argument for abolishing capital punishment on the barbarous civilization which requires an eye for an eye and a death for a death. Metzdorf traced the evolution of punishment from the days when death was administered for all crimes to the present, when it is imposed for only three.
