Historical Vermont penal practices and colonial punishments
The Albany Law Journal cites Haits history of Eastern Vermont detailing old laws a century ago. Burglary faced branding ears nailing post whipping and death on repeat offenses, while counterfeiting, perjury and willful lying carried severe punishments. Theft involved tripled restitution and state disposal of offenders. Other rules banned night activity, tavern notes, and Sunday noise. quirks about debt imprisonment, jail burial, and local anecdotes about Judge Chandler’s jail case are noted. A separate note covers Pedro Budillo, a Los Angeles figure linked to crime and politics, and a stray report of Indian remains found near Hollister.
