When- thefe wretches have been well flogged, 

 a relation on each fide comes and lays a ftick 

 a crofs the criminals and the executioners. I'hat 

 moment they ceafe to beat ; but then the huf* 

 band comes and cuts off all his wife's hair clofe 

 to her head ^ , and reproaches her in prefence 

 of all the people, that is, he reprefents to her 

 how much ihe has done wrong to a6t as flie had 

 done with him, that he had let her want fo< no^ 

 thing, but that fince fhe had however tranfgref- 

 fed, fhe might now go with her feducer ; whofe 

 hair they likewile cut on liis forehead, and tell 

 him, pointing to his paramour. There, that is 

 thy wife. He is at liberty to marry her that in- 

 ftant, but he mull go to fettle in another vil- 

 lage. 



When a married woman debauches a married 

 man, the women meet together among them- 

 fdves each with a flick of an arm's length, and 

 go to the criminal woman> whom they beat 

 without mercy, which creates great mirth and 

 laughter amongfl the young people ; the women 

 would kill the guilty wretch, if the men did not 

 fnatch away the flicks,
