11 Dec 1755:12 (1407)
Milford (in Connecticut) November 21. After perusing a
false and scurrilous letter, printed at New -York, signed
Edward Cole; it was thought proper that the same should be
publickly whipt, as tending to beget ill-will, and breeding
a disunion in the several governments in America, the
contrary of which, at this time, and present situation of
our affairs, is much wanted: Accordingly it was here, at
four a 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.
