The abolition of capital punishment has long had many encrf^etic advocates in Belgium, including some of the principal Ministers of State. For a period of five years, namely, from I8. J0 to 1834, their influence was so considerable as to induce the Government virtually to suspend the capital penalty, and no execution took place durin" that term. The result was so satisfactory that in those five ...years only 22 persons were condemned for homicidal crimes — a con- siderably smaller number than for any preceding five years of the present century. In the five years ending 1829 there were 22 executions in Belgium. But in the next five years, with no execu- tions at all, there were fewer murders committed than previously. Nevertheless, owing to the fears of certain influential parties, capital j)unishment Avas resumed in 1835, though to a far more limited extent than in former years.
