FLOGGING GAROTTERS.—John CD:Mace and
Thomas Allison, who were convicted at the assizes
last week of garotte robberies at Sunderland, and sentenced,
the former to five years' and the latter to ten years' penal
servitude, with 20 lashes each, underwent the punishment
of flogging at the County Prison on Saturday. The instru-
ment of punishment is described as of a formidable-looking
nature, and was manufactured by a sailor, who is under-
going imprisonment in the gaol, expressly for the purpose.
The cat is ingeniously composed of 9 thongs of stout leather,
in each of which are 9 knots, and these being connected to a
flexible handle, the power,wielded by strong hands, is terrific.
At every stroke the knots cut deeply, making flesh and blood
fly in ever direction. The prisoners were firmly tied up in
a reclining position, the lower part of their shoulders ex-
posed, the higher and lower part of their backs being
protected by padding. The warders Hodgson and Allison
executed their task with the skill of more practised hands.
The ufficials of the gaol were present, but the prisoners were
kept in their cells. Hodgson and Allison alternately
Inflicted 10 lashes on each of the prisoners. The first
lash was received with comparative equanimity by each
prisoner, but on the second the yell of deep and excruciating
agony which burst forth is represented as indescribable.
Their cries continued during the whole of the punishment,
and these, together with the sight of the flying flesh and
blood on the mangled backs of the sufferers, and the clotted
skeins of the eat, made up a spectacle of horror overpower-
ing to those who witnessed it, When the punishment had
been inflicted, the prisoners were taken down and removed
to the prison infirmary in a state of complete prostration—
indeed it is averred that neither of them could have received
another lash without the greatest danger. Although the
prisoners did not witness the punishment, they would hear
the shrieks of the unhappy sufferers in their cells, and it is
to be hoped the contemplation of the punishment may have
a salutary effect on their inincle,—.Drifitam chrolick.
