Halifax, (Nova-Scotia). . . Jan 26. A few days ago, a
soldier belonging to Col. Warbarton's Regiment, having no
inclination to do any further duty, but to live an idle
life, cut off one of his thumbs in hopes to obtain the
benefits of Chelsea Hospital; He was taken into custody and
try'd at a court Martial, which sentenced him to receve 1000
lashes, and to be drum'd out of the regiment; 500 of which
he had received, and the remainder he is to receive, in a
few days.
