The original provision did not require life imprisonment either. It was for a term of not less than three years and not exceeding seven years, or to be imprisoned - and here one would easily know it was 1908 - with or without hard labour for any term not exceeding two years. There would still be a provision in legislation, but I would like to see the section deleted until Report Stage.
