At St. Thomas1 hospital one of the sisters, "for a grave offense, con trarle to ye lawe of Cod and according to the proffe of three wytneaws,'' was ordered to "be punished and have ill etrypes well laid on." But all this, bad aa It was, was lesa demoralising than the terrible crimi nal code of George Il.'a reign, when there were forty-elgbt crimes punish able by death and forty punishable by whipping transportation or pil lory.

A pleasant form of punishment was "flogging through the fleet" It was given to the ignorant Batlorman who struck a superior offi cer. And when ho had been carried from one ship to another and flogged In each he survived H he was unror-timntft-for six months. The lucky man died accidentally. London Chron icle. .
