^ Thomas Harris of Bar- badoes, who had settled in Rhode Island, went to Boston with two others of the same sect, where, after service at j, !^ church, he gave great offence by haranguing the congrega- 17. Tion, an indiscretion which may have deserved some pun- ishment but not the severity he received. He was flogged, imprisoned for eleven days, during five of which he was not allowed food or water, because he refused to work at the 99 jailer's bidding, severely whipped by the jailer, and again... publicly with several others, receiving fifteen stripes. '^ Catharine, wife of Richard Scot of Providence, and sister of the celebrated Ann Hutchinson, met with a similar fate. She went to Boston to witness the mutilation of three ^ff^' ib. of her brethren, whose right ears were cut off by the hang- man in execution of the law against Quakers, For re- monstrating upon this cruelty she was imprisoned for two weeks and then publicly flogged. ^ She was advanced in Oct. Life, had been married twenty years, and was the mother of several children, two of whom suffered in the same cause.
