On the 26th day Of April Joseph Sayers,

to six months imprisonment at hard labor
IN the Central prison, and 60 receive at the
expiration Of the first three months CT his
| slime twenty-five !ashes i4,vith au justru-

outrage on a girl aged 8 years. The lat
| ter portion Of The sentence was carried
out yesterday at ilalf~Dast lline Ii the Cen
/ rral prsion. For the past fortnight Sayers
has been in great distress at the anticipa-
tlon OF the impending punishment and has
| repeatedly appealed TO the warden with
| the purpose Of having bis dogging remit
ted. 1t Is the Warden's experience THAI
prisoners who are to be whipped actually
endure more torture from the time they
a1e sentenced until the dreaded time
comes than during the time itself when
the demands Of the law are being COM
piled with. Be that as it May, Sayers did
not exhibit any signs OF faltering when he
WAS led from the shoemakers' workshop to
the end Of the corridor in the prison base
ment. He looked sullen and unconcerned
as he was bound ankle ana wrist to the
triangle, after having previously stripped
himself to the waist; q collar made Of
stiff canvass protected his neck.
All being in readiness, the warden read
out the sentence by virtue Of which the
castigation was to be administered, and as
the deputy warden uttered the word One,
the ''cat," welded by the guards, circled
itself up snakeWise in the air, and then
shot out straight with a hissing sound, and /

back to the waist BY the third stroke the |
skin had become uniformly a deep crimson,
as If blistered. and after the sixth the flesh |
began to quiVer and sundulate under each |
stroke. Every lash caused the color to
deepen until it turned to sombre shade
OF purple; at the eleventh stroke Sayers
sunk slightly, this being the enly evidence
that he was feeling pain; he hraced him
self up during the twelfth stroke, but num-
bers thirteen, fourteen and fifteen again
caused him to sink, at the sixteenth stroke
the nine times knotted nine whip lash flew
rom the stock, and fresh cat was substi-
,uted. By the time the twenty-fifth and
&st laah was applied the prisoner bore evil
lence OF the Instruments cruel effects, his
