GALL —Duringlita.lisesra MAWt week two of the three men who
were recently at . gaol were removed to
the prison where ey are to undergo the remainder of their
term of penal servitude. It may serve as • warping to
Mims to state the affect the Bogging had oe the culprits.
The first two were Sharpies end Smith, the former of whom
bad been sentenced to fifteen years' penal servitude, with
twenty-five lashes, and the latter to twelve years and
eighteen lashes, for having with three others garotted
Lawrence, in Clarence-street, on the night of the 9th of

June, Simples seems to have been the strongest, as he was
able to bear the whole of his stripes; but we understand
that he has since been in a bad stele, and hu told his trimmeds
that he would sooner have his period of imprisonment
doubled than be flogged, as it wan dreadful. Smith fainted
while undergoing his punishment, and ass taken to the hos-
pital, where it is said be still remains. The other man,
William Courtesy, who was untamed to six years' basil-
sontneet, with twelve lashes of the cat. for havisg, in com-
pany with others, garotted • young man named Ooopsr,
