city jails, and in the presence Of large crowda
OF spectators. Thus in Drescia the Countess
Of .Ferrari. young married lady Of
%, who bad collected money for the
5efola y,T9 ,oantss5s was psssd
trian ofice1p. and, by direction OF Lieu-
tenant Field Marabal Neiperg, sentenced to re-
ceiye fifty strokes with the rer1es. On the
same afternoon she WAS led on the Place
dArunes, and, after having been stripped Al
most naked, tied to . bench, ahe received har
punishment at the hands Of two stalwa1t
Croats, who were armed with formidable
lunches Of birch rods, Every stroke With
them must have been intensely painful, but
the Countess did not utter 8 sound of CON-
plant. At the twenty-fifth stroke, however,
she tainted, and when her e1ecuioners had
inflicted the full number Of strokes on her
senseless body, ehe WAS carried back in an
lifeless condition to her cell, and thrown on
bundle OF STRAW. She never fully recovered
from this terrible castgation, snd died few
months afte1wnrd- This is only one case of
many. The fathers, husbands, brothers, and
Sons Of these martyred Italian ladies' formed
in The year 1850 secret lesgue for the pur-
pose Of netting out punishment to the brutal
Austnan commanders who had ordered their
mothers, wives and sisters to be chas-
