crimson hue; yet still, mangled as it was,
no blood ran from 1t a common cart
having been drawn into the square, the exc
cutioners united the strap By which the
malefactor was fasteuei 10 the stake, and,
with the assistance of the gendarrnes, car
ried him to and placed him in the cart,
throwing his shirt lightly upon him, then
his caftan, then, over all, mat. When re-
moved from the stake he was quite insens-
ible, so much so that did not suppose he
would survive until be reached the hospital:
but was mistaken, for upon observing him
attentively, after being placed in the cart, l
perceived ne had so far recovered as to at
tempt to move one arm, could not OBJ
serve any surgeon attending the execution,
nor indeed would it have been of any con-
sequence, as the number Of stripes is speci-
fed, and whatever happens, they must be
administered.
He was driven off to prison with the
same guards and attendants as at first-the
whole affair, from the arrival till the depar-
ture of the criminal, not exceeding twenty
minutes. What became of him afterWard

this could scarcely be called the least part
of his punishment. Such is the knOut.

he seemed to be perfectly unconscious of

executioner took some instruments from his

on the forehead, on each cheek and on the
chin. This, understand, was merely a

After giving eight blows, the assistant re-
tired in his turn, when his principal, who
in the meantime had fitted on a fresh
thong, resumed the dreadful task. He
was again succeeded by the young u1an.
who in like manner had renewed
the efficacy of his weapon by a
similar process of renovation. In this man
ner did they continue mutually relieving
one another, and at each relay adding a
new thong, till the destined number of
blows were inflicted on the lacerated back
Of the parricide. About the fiftieLh stroke,
his struggles having partially lOosened the
fastenings, it was found necessary to stop
and have them fixed more firmly. From
the first to the twentieth blow each was fol-
lowed by the same scream and commissions;
from the twentieth till the fiftieth both
gradually became weaker-the latter had,
indeed, degenerated into sort of SILVER

or FIVE feet, perfecly fat, and a little more
th2sn an inch broad. 1t is changed aftoH every

principal execuhOner, having placed him
self within five or six feet of the prisoner,
with the thong of the knout on tho ground,
rather behind him, then dT5W it fOrSard,
raising it slowly and steadily til it had at
tanned the proper elevation, when he brought
it down with tremendous force upon the
middle of the criminals back, leaving adeep
crimson mark Of nearly an inch in breadth
extending from his neck to the waistband
Of bis trousers. Upon receiving the blow,
the wretch uttered a scream, or rather a
yell Of agony, the intensity of which have

Of his body seemed in state of violent and

With scarcely any interval, the blow was
repeated, FOL eTed by the same result, the

shudder. The second mark appeared
about an inch from and parallel to the first;

quick succession, when the operator step
