The general object of the Criminal Justice Bill, now before Parliament, as set out in the explanatory Memorandum, is to improve the methods of dealing with persons found guilty of offences, including adolescent offenders and persons who commit repeated offences. It so happens that the Home Office has recently issued, as a Stationery Office publication, a Report on the Psychological Treatment of Crime which was made to the Secretary of State by Dr. Hubert and myself. The present position of psychiatry in relation to crime, therefore, seemed a fitting subject to discuss at this Conference.

∗ Throughout these clinical lectures I can find no record of a temperature reading, and since clinical thermometers did not come into general use in the practice of medicine until well in the nineteenth century Hilton may not have used this instrument. In a personal letter the Conservator of the Wellcome Historical Medical Museum informs me that in 1867 Sir Clifford Allbutt invented a short pocket clinical thermometer similar in size to the modern instrument, and from that date onwards the clinical thermometer gradually received general adoption throughout the profession.Google Scholar
