London. . . October 14. . . On Tuesday the serjeant who was
ordered to be shot, but afterward reprieved, for enlisting
men and sending them into the French service, received two
hundred and fifty lashes on the parade in St. James's Park.
He was so extremely weak after receiving the punishment,
that he was obliged to be supported by two soldiers to the
hospital. He is to receive the same number again as soon as
his strength will permit, and afterward be drummed from the
regiment.
