Journal of the Times. [Continued.] April 11. There were very
severe whippings the day before yesterday; a grenadier
having received about two hundred lashes, in part of a court
martial's sentence, the doctor it is said, advised to his
being loosed from the halberts, it being his opinion, that a
greater number might endanger life. . . [3 more lines] this
encouraged the humane officer, to order his being again tied
to the halberts, and that the drummers should proceed in
executing the sentence; he accordingly received about fifty
more lashes, as seemingly insensible of the strokes as would
have been a statue of marble. . . [2 more lines]
