Details: John Murrell, the old and desperate offender who yesterday rendered himself so notorious in the annals of colonial criminal jurisprudence by the exercise of an offence, only to be equalled in blackness of ferocity by those unhappy creatures whose innocence he so un- successfully ventured, at any hazard, to advocate, was now placed at the bar for judgment. The sentence of the Court, in this painful instance, is as follows : The said John Murrell to be taken from the county gaol, on such day and hour as His Excellency the Governor may direct, to the public market-place at Sydney; to be publicly whipped from thence, at a cart s tail, back to the prison; afterwards, to be conveyed to Windsor, where he is to be publicly whipped, in like manner, at a cart s tail, down George street in that town, each cart having an affixed board, publishing the nature of his offence ; he is then to be imprisoned in Windsor gaol, on bread and water, for the space of 14 days, every day of which he is to stand one hour in Thompson s square, and wear a label de- scribing his crime ; and then to be transported to Port Macquarie for the remainder of his sentence
