THE CRIMINAL CODE.
The SPEAKER announced the consideration of the bill [H. R. 367] concerning criminal proceedings.
Mr. WALKER moved to amend the clause in Section 158, "Judgments shall be a lien on all property within the State of Indiana," by striking out the words "State of Indiana" and inserting in lieu thereof the words "County in which the Judgment is rendered."
The amendment was adopted.
Mr. CARTER moved to amend Section 202 [disposition of persons pleading guilty] by adding these words: "And if the person be under the age of twenty-one years, the Court may, in its digression, withhold sentence, in order that he or she may be released during good behavior, and the Court shall have full power to order his or her rearrest and announce sentence whenever, in the opinion of the Court, such action may be proper."
Mr. CARTER said this was a good means of reformation by putting boys upon their good behavior.
The amendment was adopted.
