To day it´s Sunday, and I praise the pillory.

Such a simple device, the pillory and its cousin, the yoke. Its simple lines do not distract from the beauty of its prisoner as she is taken from her home to the barn where she will serve her punishment. Servants and other employees admire her naked body as she id led to the barn.

In the barn, the yoke is replaced by a pillory. It too is a simple design meant only to hold her for the lashing she has earned.

The estate's employees enjoy the harsh whipping, many who have been recipients of such. They are quite pleased when their master steps behind his wife and gives their mistress the anal rape she deserves...

Saturday, 27 June 1719
Lydia Evans, and Elizabeth “Lizzie” Ent, alias Endsley, alias Lydd, alias Conelly, were convicted for keeping notorious bawdy-houses and sentenced to stand in the pillory for an hour and then to be imprisoned and set to Hard Labour for six months and to be fined. Because they had also been convicted of engaging in prostitution themselves, they were, in addition, sentenced to be whipt at the cart’s end round Covent Garden until their bodies be bloody.

On Saturday, both of them stood in the pillory at Charing-Cross stript from the girdle up. When they were stript, both revealed their criminal records

Lydia Evans’ back, shoulders and upper right arm were crisscrossed with stripes from the nape of the neck to the waist from at least one previous whipping.

Lizzie Ent displayed the stripes of previous whippings across her back and upper arms as well as the letter “L” for “Lift,” branded on her left shoulder and under her right armpit.

Lydia and Lizzie were treated with the highest resentment of the mob, in showers of rotten eggs, rotten fruit, dirt, &c. Their heads and faces were soon covered with stinking slime. Rotten eggs and fruit then began landing on their bare breasts, arms and shoulders. Swarms of flies began landing on Lydia and Lizzie, greatly increasing their discomfort. And this day they are to be whipt, as we hear, round Covent-Garden: Besides which, they are sentenc’d to be imprison’d and fin’d.

A well-deserved punishment which was no doubt both educational and amusing to the public.
