Flogging at the Cart’s Tail in Historic Saltash Scene
A historical note recalls flogging at the cart’s tail as late as 1836 in Saltash for robbery. The spectacle involved 76 armed men, a beadle, and a constable, with theatrical misuses like oiling the beadle’s hand and staged severity. A poet Cowper account mirrors the same brutal practice.
