Punitive Lashes In Edinburgh For Keeping Disorderly Houses
Edinburgh May 11 Yesterday Herdman and Wadne] for keeping disorderly houses were whipped through the town at double stages and received many lashes at each. Herdman's wife accompanied him as a witness to the punishment he deserved, and he endured with resolve. Wadnel behaved poorly, leaping about while the Hangman seemed to take pleasure in chastising him. The keeper's motive stems from a prior debt dispute, and the punitive act serves to lay bare past sins and enforce repayment.
