FLOGGING IN THE ARMY.

(From the Northern Star of Jan. 13.)

We did hope, and had reason to suppose, that the practice of flog-
ging in the army was virtually, if not actually, abolished. Many, very
many laws, hostile to public liberty, and under which individuals have
suffered, now remain a dead letter upon the Statute-book, rendered
obsolete—though not repealed—by the strong expression of public opi-
nion. In the list of old customs, also, opinion has made ravages, and
in no respect more efficaciously, than with regard to the system of sol-
dier-flogging. We shall not enter upon the oft-used arguments as to
the actual benefit or injury rendered to the "service," by the practice
of thus torturing, branding, and degrading men, with whom pride
and self-respect become necessary qualifications. We are not called
upon to produce arguments against a system, the very continuance of
which, in any shape, has been proved inoperative, in producing
the anticipated result ;—but we are about to state facts, startling facts—
facts the more important because only accidently discovered—facts
which, if we mistake not, will strike every person with this one conside-
ration, at least, that so long as soldiers are to be flogged, so long is pub.
lication of the act, the punishment and its amount, indispensable. In
common law, individuals are not punished more in respect to the crime,
than with reference to the example. So with flogging. If discipline
is the same throughout the army, an example made in the 15th Hussars,
or any other regiment, should be communicated to the whole army;
but, so far from such a line being pursued, in order to add dis.
grace to torture,
,the fellow-soldier is strictly prohibited from men-
tioning to his comrade the subject of his punishment. Hence a very
great difficulty exists as respects information upon the question. We,
however, have been very fortunate in learning what was not intended
to have passed the prison-house ; and yle shall briefly state those facts
which have come to our knowledge, and allow the public to judge
for themselves. If we should not be quite accurate in all the minutiw
of detail, we pledge ourselves to the general correctness of the statement.
About the beginning of the month of June last, two troops of the 15th
Hussars were stationed at Leeds, and from that period to the 24th of
November, not less than six individuals of those two troops have suf-
fered corporal punishment. Within a period of little more than five
months, the following persons have been flogged within the Barracks of
Leeds :

On the 31st of August, Burton, a private of the 15th Hussars, was
flogged for striking a sergeant, the sergeant having first struck Burton,
and otherwise ill treated him. Burton received 100 lashes.

On the 23d of September, Royland was flogged for taking a plain sad-
dle from one of his officers ; he received 100 lashes. If Royland had
stolen the saddle from a civilian, he would have been tried at common
law.

On the 14th of November, Hyatt received 100 lashes for breaking out
of barracks when under confinement.

On the 2.3 th of November, John Canovan received 100 lashes for non.
performance of duty.at Bradford. Two other individuals, whose names
we have not yet learned, have also been flogged within the period stated.
From this statement of facts, it will be seen that in less than six
months, six soldiers have been flogged in two troops. Taking this as a
reasonable average of punishment throughout the regiment, we must
come to the conclusion that in eight troops, ninety-six men have been
flogged within the year. We do not exactly know the strength ofilach
troop, but it will be found, by the above scale, that the flogging insist
have been administered in the proportion of one in four, or one in five
men. This fact becomes the more appalling when we state, upon the
authority of a respectable non-commissioned officer, that the present
commanding officer at Leeds, is beloved by his men, and looked upon as
a most kind and humane officer. We stato this to strengthen the just
supposition, that in regiments under the command of severe command-
ing officers, the punishments in the same period of time exceeded those
administered to the men of the 15th. We have not done with the subject
neither shall we weaken facts with any further comment, We at pre-
sent leave the subject in the hands of Sir NV. Molcsworth, as Member for
Leeds; and of the London Weekly Dispatch, as the paper most con.
sistent in the reprobation of soldier-flogging.

THE LAST OF' THE CARNES.—The ancient
Welsh family 'of Carne, eminent for ages in the principality,
affords a very interesting narrative. The last male heir of
the Ewenny branch, John Came, died of a lingering con-
sumption, June 4th, 1700, aged fifteen. The following ex-
quisite inscription to his memory on a stately monument in
Ewenny church is said to have been written by one of the
family of Thomas of Tregrose.
" Here lies Ewenny's hope, Ewenny's pride,
In him both ilourish'd, and in him both dy'd,
Death haveing seis'd him, linger'd, loath to be
The mine of this worthy family."
