The penalty would probably be imprisonment, but tho men who would do an act of that kind could only bo justly punished, like wife beaters, by physiqal suffering, suf-fering, JgnomjnipuB servitude wltJlQUt Pain would be, no punishment, for when men lose solf-respoct they cannot be made to suffer by degrading them.
