The law had been a dead•letten for' many years, the last white woman having been whipped for larceny about the year 'MO The law was afterward amended to do away with the lash for white twiner. As late as 187d -colored woolen were sent to the post. .At the session of the legislature in 1871 thew.ord. "white was stricken out of the ItktvIi,c', lating to the punishment of women for larceny, ani.. the black sisters were put on an equality with their white sisters. Now it is designed. to remove all possi- bility of women being whipped or put in the pillory. A,g'entleman who ,bas been perfectly familiar with the operations of the whip,,. ping • post for over forty years says .tlrntt be has seen scores of ' prisoners lashed:at the post, and while it is seldom now that blood is drawn, if ever, he•basseen backs of prisoners that were almost cut to "a jelly.” He says that the whippings be- came less violent when:the .newspapers began to report the quarterly perform- ances at New Castle with the cat. The whippings formerly only took place twice a yr. `.Cheaere was a great tendency upon the part of sheriffs to regulate the force of their blow entirely through prejudice for or against a man, For instance, if the sheriff was a farmer he would have but little mercy fol; a fellow put under the lash for horse stealing., The plan who robbed a store would get.off pretty well .if the sheriff was a farmer. Then again, if the sheriff was a city ort.town roan he would have no mercy. on a city burglar or sneak thief. This saute gentleman de- clares that he has seen, but many years ago, nine or ten men run back from the post with their backs ,all bloody. The story that blood often runs from the backsof the victims and soaks the ground is absurd. 'The writer has seen two or three hundred men whipped, but has never seen the blood flow. He has seen large welts on the backs of the victims, awl fine drops of; blood almost ready to come through, but:,, never any blood run- ning;. Many years ago oi.butoher named Stan- hope was waylaid, and robbed. on the highway, first being shot and baclly;,hurt. TIIe robber was arrested and . convicted and sentenced to the pillory. A number, of the butchers purchased three barreld,: of old eggs and went to New Castle on the day of the whipping armed with. eggs. After the rnamwas placed in the pillory, wi3ich was then;ju the•open space outside of the jail yard,,the butchers be- gan a fusillade of eggs. . The poor victim was a crass of foul matter, besides being bruised by being hit in , the face. The sheriff had greattrouble to stop the out- rage. At the next session of the legisla- ture the post was moved inside the jail .yard, where have been no incidents of the Stanhope kind since. The jail gates are always thrown open to the public on whipping days, but the best of order pre-.. vails. The historyof the post fel: ft'ty.years is that the lash as a rule Iris been used with leniency, The whites have escaped, it has been claimed, for politicaireasons, the sheriff being in a position :to win a vote every time he Spared a man's back. There has been but little difference as to numbers between white and black vie, tints. There has been a great toning down of late years of the number of lashes ap- plied. It was a frequent thing years ago to give a prisoner a cumulative sentence, and for three successive Saturdays he would receive eighty lashes. The result was, even though the blows were lightly laid on;that the victim's back would bo in au awful condition. The story is told of one old black man, who, after being. whipped upon three Saturdays, was sold into slavery, Ile declared., that he would never go south, and when, his purchaser got as far as Haire de Grace the poor fellow cut his throat. It was the rule at one time to sell col- ored nnen and women to the highest bid. der after they ha been whipped, and they were frequently knocked down for $$I stmt quickly hurried south. There is an old num now in the New Castle county altiglsruse who •was regularly engaged, the laui•chase of blacks and selling then into slavery.. it.1s really svi;ltrising, however, how,: few are the real f4cts and incidents that. tl. ise.wltn are in It position toAtnow can. t 1l.
