lowing August 9Th, lS4s, nine hundred and
sixty-one capital sentences were passed and
executed in Lombardy, while the summary
executions where no legal forms were OBJ
served far exceeded that number:
YOUTH BEATEN TO DEATH.
(I.sfisr from Milan, Sept. 7, 1850
Martial law supplies us with an execu
ton nearly every day. When In view Of the
entire innocence or extreme youth OF the
party tho penalty OF death Is not awarded,
It Is replaced by the bastinado. The latter
punishment is applied TO oil those who are
detected with q velvet coat, an Hermann hat,
suspected crayat, &c. &c. The infiictiOn
Of sixty strokes Is certainly fatal, while lew
Ontlive the fortieth. The son OF the Steward
OF the Councillor Ranpini, not having at.
tanned the legal age which justified his being
shot beside his father and elder brother, and
yet being devoted TO the same fate, received
sixteen blows Of tho baton beneath which he
died"
