Boston, April 4 Journal of Occurrences, (continued)
April 11. There was a very severe whipping the Day before
yesterday: a grenadier having received about two hundred
lashes, in part of a court marshall's sentence, the doctor
as it is said, advised to his being loosed from the
halberts, it being his opinion, that a greater number might
endanger life. He was accordingly unloosed, when he fell
upon the ground senseless, but upon pouring some water down
his throat, he soon came to himself; this encouraged the
human officer, to order his being again tied to the
halberts, and that the drummers should proceed in executing
the sentence. . . [5 more lines describing conclusion of
sentence with 50 more lashes.]
