In replying to Keswick's speech, I am reported, I believe correctly, to have thus referred to the case of Mook A Kwai:
As the Honourable member has brought this case to the notice of the Council, I will state briefly what this case was about. It was the last flogging of this nature.

That was on the 21st October, 1876. In spite, however, of that, the man was not discharged on the 21st October. He was kept in custody until the 30th, on which day he was flogged and deported.

And, here I may mention that I found two other prisoners who had been illegally flogged in July, 1876, and that the visiting
