Chainsaws and Silence: Two Men Convicted for Felling the Sycamore Gap Tree
In China Public caning in Indonesia Indonesian Walk of Shame Public flogging in Iran Public flogging in India 11 year old boys undergoing public punishment in Nepal Use of the Stocks remains on the UK statute books. The last time the stocks were use was 1872. The last time the pillory (which was banned) was used was 1830. The convicted would be given a choice of one hour in the pillory or transportation to Australia. In Hansard, when they debated the abolition of the Pillory it turned out one of the reasons was it made a mockery of the law if the person in the pillory had the support of the crowd, or was a sympathetic character. The case of Dr. Shebbeare was a remarkable one. He had been sentenced to the pillory; but though this was intended as a disgrace, if turned out a sort of triumph. He was put upon, but not in the pillory; the sheriff held an umbrella over his head to shelter him from the rain or the sun; and a servant stood by to attend upon and hand him refreshment, while he was at the same time applauded by the spectators: so that the punishment, instead of being disgraceful to him, was an insult upon the law. Another case applicable to the point was that of Daniel Isaac Eaton. He had been put in the pillory for a very serious offence, that of endeavouring to throw contempt and ridicule on the fundamental principles of the Christian religion; and as an example to the prisoners, he presumed, he was pilloried opposite to Newgate gaol: but the crowd, probably from some mistake as to the nature of his offence, applauded him. In this case, too, the punishment was far more lenient than the judges intended. A person was pilloried in Southwark for an unnatural crime, and the criminal was so treated by the mob that he actually died the moment he was taken from the machine. Judge Eyre, in a case where one had by perjury attempted to swear away another person's life, had refrained from inflicting the punishment of the pillory, on the very ground that the punishment might in reality be different from what the Court intended. Earl Stanhope objected to the pillory, because it was a punishment so likely to be unequal in its operation: for instance, if the noble Secretary and himself were sentenced to the pillory for libels, especially on the discussion of the Corn Bill, his apprehension was that the noble Secretary would have been confoundedly pelted, while he (lord S.) would have escaped any ill treatment from the public. https://hansard.parliament.uk/lords/1815-07-05/debates/3c82cd34-05f8-4825-9bf0-9f70e6fb8b7e/PilloryAbolitionBill And later on in a different debate The stocks, bread and water, corporal punishment, the pillory, cutting off the ears, branding with a hot iron, slavery, transportation, and hanging had been tried at various periods; and when these cruelties were abandoned, we had been content to employ the milder punishment of the treadmill or the tramp-ward. -
