Some weeks ago, during the insurrecuon excitement,
we announced that twenty three negroes had been in
carcerated by the Sheriff. Afterward upon trial OF
hdbeas corpus, seventeen OF tnem were tAHcn Out,
whipped and taken be me- and the remaining six were
detained for trial. On last Monday these were brought
out AID tried before regularly impanneed jury and
three Justices who ordered tina! five OF them should be
each time, and as Q further punishment, that they
should stand in the Pillory four tnes-an hour each
time. The sixth one, being older than tbs 9TH
