GAROTTERS FLOGGED.—On Monday last the first
part of the sentence passed on several garotters by
the Lord Cliief Justice Cockburn, at the late Liverpool
assizes, was carried out in Kirkdale Gaol, where they are
at present confined. before being consigned to penal servi-
tude. Their names are Christopher Sharpies, Jas. Smith,
and Wm. Courtney. Sharpies and Smith were associated
with three other men in the committal of a robbery with
violence, on the night of the 9th of June. The prisoner
Courtney was concerned in a robbery committed upon a
labouring man, named George Cooper, of Warrington, on
the night of the 27th July. As ho was walking along
Nash-street, Liverpool, he was seized by the throat by some
person who was behind him, and Courtney, who as in
front, struck him several blows in the face, In sentencing
these prisoners, the Lord Chief Justice expressed his belief
that the infliction of the lash would prove the most effica-
cious punishment for men of their character, who went
about committing garotte robberies, careless of what vio-
lence or injury they might inflict upon those whom they
attacked, end his lordship said that no mercy should be
shown to men of their description. He ordered Sharpies
and Smith to receive 25 lashes of the cat-o'-nine-tails on
their bare backs, and Courtney 12 lashes. His lordship,
however, subsequently modified the sentence in the case of
Smith to 18 lashes. Monday was the date fixed by the judge
for this part of the sentence to be carried out, and it was
performed in the usual manner in the gaol at Kirkdale.
The prisoners Sharples and Smith were under sentence of
penal servitude, the former for 15 and the latter for 12 years,
and Courtney for six years.
SINGULAR CAPTURE.—Oa Tuesday last, as a
party of anglers were engaged in perch fishing on Yetholm
