Description: HAMSTRINGING A MALEFACTOR.
This punishment is reported to have been inflicted upon malefactors, who have endeavoured to make their escape. A vessel containing Chunam, a species of mortar, is at hand, to be applied, by way of styptic, to the wounds. It is said, that this punishment has been lately abolished, the legislature considering, that the natural inclination for liberty, merited not a chastisement of such severity.
----------------------------------------------------------------
SUPPLICE DE COUPER LE JARRET À UN MALFAITEUR.
On dit, que ce supplice s'éxércoit sur les malfaiteurs, qui avaient cherché à s'échapper. On voit tout prêt un vase, contenant du Chunsan, (espèce de mortier) pour être appliqué sur les blessures, comme un stiptique. On dit, que ce supplice à été, depuis peu, aboli, la législature considérant, que le désir naturel de la liberté ne meritoit pas un châtiment si sévère.
