22 Nov 1755:31 (34)
Milford (in Connecticut,) Nov. 21, 1755. After perusing a
false and scurrilous letter, printed at New-York, sign'd by
Edward Cole; it was tho't proper, that the same should be
publickly whipt, as tending to beget ill-will, and breeding
a disunion in several governments in American, the contract
of which, at this time, and present situation of our
affairs, is much wanted: Accordingly, it was here, at 4 of
the clock this afternoon, after proper notice by beat of
drum, publickly whipt, according to Moses's law, forty
stripes save one, by the common Whipper, and then burnt.
