Some of them refer to the case of "Mok Adwai;" and, as the Solicitor-General has brought this matter to the notice of the Council, I will state briefly what it was.
The last flogging of Mok Adwai was of this nature. Sir Arthur Kennedy's Warrant said "Let the said Mok E Kwan be discharged from custody and prohibited from entering the Colony for five years from the date hereof." That is from the 21st October 1876. For spite, however, the man was not discharged on the 21st October. She was kept in custody until the 30th, on which day he was flogged and deported.
But more than that, he was taken from the hospital to be flogged, and his name is recorded in the sick list of that day.
The Chief Justice (Mr. Justice Russell) was Visiting Justice at that time.
Here come the words you have quoted. The rest of the context is as follows:
"From a return prepared for me by Captain Lucas, there were 828 illegal floggings in the Gaol, according to the Attorney General's opinion, in ten years. Mok Adwai's case alone was committed on the 21st.
