JUNE 30 - THE ABOLITION OF
THE PILLORY
91 On the 30.11 of June
YEARS 1837 an Act of Par -
A G 0 Bement was passed a-
bolishing the use of
the pillory for the purpose of pun-
is)unent in Great Britain.
Exposure in a- public pillory had
been a common forst of punishment
in Englund since the clays of the
Saxons, and had also figured in the
penal codes of most of 'the other
I:uropcon countries. There were
several types of pillory, but the one
most generally used consisted of a
wooden frame, behind which the
culprit stood, his or her head and
hands thrust through holes in the
frame so as to be held fast and ex-
posed hi irons of it. The pillory was
erected 011 0 high platform in some
prominent public place, so that ,the
offender might be in full view of
passers-by.
Originally the punishment was a-
warded principally to tradesmen
guilty of giving short weight or mea-
sure, perjurers, forgers and the
owners of disorderly houses, but in
1037, when the British Government
decided to restrict the liberty of the
press, the pillory became the recog-
nized fate of persons who published
books without a license or libelled
tltose in authority, In 1816 the use
of the pillory was abolished except
for the crimes of perjury and sub-
ornation, and its hast victim was a
perjurer named Peter Bossy, who •
suffered in front of Newgate Jail in
London in 1830.
In many cases the heads of offend- '
ers, both male and female, were
closely shaved during their detention I1
in the pillory, while in some in-
stances 'their foreheads or cheeks
would be seared with a red-hot iron,
and the victims would carry through
life a brand of shame upon their
faces in the forte of letters or
marks, which had been burned deep-
ly into the ilo h, to signify the crime
of which .they ,had been guilty. When
the pillory became the popular sen-
tence of the iniquitous Court of the
Star Chamber in Stuart days it was a
common practice to cut off the ears,
or slit the nose, of the ill-fated
Offenders who were ait all unpop-
ular found the pillory a trying ordeal
for the mob were in no way re-
strained from pelting the victim with
such missiles as stones, rotten fruit
and eggs • and the refuse of the
streets, and many persons died from
injuries sustained while in the pillory.
Titus bates, the perjurer, was severe-
ly used in 1085 and the infamous vil-
lain was nearly ]tilled. During the
reit::n of '(Queen Elizabeth a man ex-
posed in the pillory fell through the
rotten floor of the platform on which
the pillory stood and was almost
choked 'to death before his neck
could be released. He brought an
action against the authorities and a
sympathetic jury awarded him heavy
damages.
Numerous famous men suffered in
the pillory. Daniel Defoe, the au-
thor of "Robinson Crusoe," in 1702
was sentenced to three days' expos-
ure for publishing ,a pamphlet at-
tacking the Government's policy re-
garding the Nonconformists, :but his
punishment turned out a popular
triumph for the great writer. The
pillory was surrounded by a vast slob
of his admirers, who decorated the
stand with flowers and drank his
;health. In 1639 William Prynne,
the prominent politician and writer,
found his way to the pillory for at-
tacking the amusements of the royal
court, and he had his ears cut off in
addition to being fined five thousand
rounds and sentenced to imprison-
ment. While in jail he launched a
fierce attack against Archbiship
Laud, which led to a further period
in the pillory, where his cheeks were
branded with the ,letters -"S. J.",
signifying that he was a Seditious
Libeller,
