PUBLIC FLOGGING IN TANGIER
Without comment the Tangier correspondent of the Times narrates an incident which took place in the public market-place there, at a spot within 40 yards of the French legation and within 100 yards of the German legation, and in full view of both.
Raisuli s representative caused a Moor to be flogged by tight men. who, taking each other's places as each became tired, bestowed over 1000 lashes with a knotted rope upon the back and legs of the victim. After he became insensible, in order to stop the unconscious movements of . Ins body, one of Raisuli's men deliberately stamped cm the man's head, driving ? his face into the .stones, breaking his front teeth, and seriously injuring his face. The man remained next day in a precarious condition. Shortly afterwards a Moorish woman was publicly flogged on the same spot. The man's offence was that ho had failed to carry out a verdict given against him in the civil court, over which Kaisuli has, no jurisdiction.*
