Punishment for Theft.

Ordered by Richard Occur de Lion as
Punishment for Theft.
We learn from the annals of the his.
torian Hoveden, who was court chap.
lain to Henry III, that the old custom
of tarring and feathering is one that
dates back to the time of Richard the
Lion Hearted.
He tells us that this renowned king,
on setting out for the third crusade,
made this enactment among others,
for his fleet:
A robber who shall be convicted of
theft shall have his head cropped af-
ter the fashion of a champion, and
boiling pitch shall be poured there
on, and the feathers of a cushion shall
be shaken out on him, so that he may
be known, and at the first land at
which the ship shall touch he shall
be set on shore.
This, then, is one of several GUS
toms which has been classed COM
monty as American while in truth,
it originated with us, and was i'm
