More pictures from 1900 - Return to the Punishment Room: It soon becomes time for Charles Russell to receive his sentence of birching handed down by the court.
He is fastened over the birching Pony and the scorching sentence is carried our leaving his bare bottom burning and raw.
Arthur Blake too can expect his fair share of the birch. His constant bad behaviour leaves the Governor with no choice but to order him to be punished over the pony.
This time however, following military tradition, a ginger feage is inserted to really gain the lads attention. The result is it certainly does!
