Laborious Punishment.
No 4 continued.

to apply some limitation to both these points is
not to be doubted. With respect to the subsidiary
punishment, they would doubtless be deemed
to exclude Death and Mutilation. With
respect to the kind of service itself, they would doubtless
be deemed to exclude services incompatible
with Chastity. I mention these instances only
for the purpose of illustration. To
look for any more instances, much more to
attempt to draw a circle round the whole tribe assemblage
of such instances, would lead us to into discussions foreign

In Holland a mode species of Laborious Punishment
is has been said to be employ'd, in which the subsidiary punishment
is ingeniously enough connected with the principal

purely physical.⊞ ⊞ By a preliminary arrangement The former punishment [is made to] follows necessarily
from the cessation of the latter, without depending

to his power of discharging it. If he pumps can pump and does
discharge it fast enough, the labour is his punishment. If he can not or
does not, he is left to sinking and the pain
of drowning is his punishment. Care is taken we are to

So far the story. But it turns out to be a fiction. Mr Howard who was at the pains
of enquiring at B. upon the spot could not hear of any such
thing.
