“(3) If any woman, not being a girl, shall permit her grandfather, father, brother, uncle, or son to have connection with her (knowing him to be her grandfather, father, brother, uncle, or son, as the case may be) she shall be guilty of a felony, and shall be liable upon conviction on indictment to be imprisoned, with or without hard labour, for any term not exceeding two years, or to be kept in penal servitude for any term not less than three years, and not exceeding seven years.” Where the word “mother” is used in the first part of subsection (1), at sight it appears careless to put, nearer the end of the same subsection, “provided that if it is alleged in the indictment and proved that _the girl was, at the time of the commission of the offence, under the age of sixteen years,” etc._ The “Memorandum” preceding the Morality Bill contains an epitome of the whole conception. “The general object of this Bill is to substitute for the Criminal Law Amendment Act, 1885, the Vagrancy Act, 1898, the Punishment of Incest Act, 1908, the Obscene Publications Act, 1857, the Indecent Advertisements Act, 1889, and certain other enactments, a comprehensive measure which shall materially strengthen the law relating to offences against morality and decency.... The chief proposals of the Bill are:-- “1. To raise ‘the age of consent’ to nineteen, the full offence to be felony, and the maximum punishment to be--(_a_) if the girl is any age under sixteen, penal servitude for ten years; (_b_) if the girl is over sixteen, penal servitude for five years. “2. To protect all feeble-minded women and girls, the full offence to be felony, the attempt a misdemeanour, and the maximum punishment to be for the felony penal servitude for five years, and for the misdemeanour imprisonment for two years. “3. To make it felony to obtain, and a misdemeanour to attempt to obtain, consent by any inducement or threat in connection with employment, the maximum punishment to be for the felony penal servitude for five years, and for the misdemeanour imprisonment for two years. “4. To make it a misdemeanour for any woman or girl of abandoned character to permit a boy under nineteen years of age to have immoral relations with her, or for any person to favour or encourage such relations, the maximum punishment to be imprisonment for two years. “5. To make the full offences specified in section two, which relates to procuration, of the Criminal Law Amendment Act, 1885, felonies, for which the maximum punishment is to be penal servitude for five or ten years, according to the age of the girl; and to extend the protection against procuration, and attempted procuration, now enjoyed by girls of good character under the age of twenty-one--(_a_) to all women of good character; (_b_) to all feeble-minded women and girls, whatever their character; (_c_) to all girls under the age of nineteen, whatever their character.
