ahoI;tion of the Duckina Stool.


The most noteworthy Of ali the in
struments designed for the correction
of Ewes offending daughters was the
ducking stool, known as the tumbrel
and the trebuchet. 4 post, across
which was transverse beam turning
on a swivel and with chair at one
end, was set up on the edge Of 4
pond. Into the chair the woman was
chained, turned toward the water
a muddy or filthy pond was usually
chosen for this purpose when avail
able-and ducked half dozen times,
or if the water infamed her instead
of acting as u damper she was let
down times innumerable until she was
exhausted and we'll nigh drowned.
From the frequency with which we
find it mentioned in old local and
county histories, in church wardens'
and chamberlains' accounts and by the
poets (Gay, for one. has Il description
Of the process in his third pastoral,
1.-THE Shepherds Week') we shall
probably not be wrong in concluding
that at one time this institution was
kept up all over England. In Liver
pool it was not formally abolished
until 117G.-London Graphic.
