Previous conviction. The 11th s. of the (English) Criminal Law Act, 1827 (7 & 8 Geo. 4, c. 28), reciting that 'it is expedient to provide for the more exemplary punishment of offenders who commit felony after a previous conviction for felony,' empowered a Court to inflict transportation for life and whipping for such subsequent conviction.
