the hut of the Chinese Commissioners: first of the
punishment of the delinquent on the ensuing day:
and that on the Russian side there should be
assembled as many people as possible that this
example might serve them as a warning,
for preventing in future the commission of
similar enormities. 2dly that the Russian Commissioners
proposed the changing the tenth article
of the before existing confirmed treaty, setting forth appointing
for delinquents the punishment of
death by decapitation — for as much as now
such sort of capital punishments in the reign of her
ever gracious Majesty were forbidden; and the
most rigorous of all punishments is the administering
of the Knout, with marking and confin
with to perpetual hard-labour: in which manner
in future all our delinquents will be punished.
