A species of correction appointed for boatmen, or, as they are termed
in England, watermen . Having been convicted of some misbehaviour,
he is compelled to kneel : one of the officers of justice prevents him
from flinching, whilst another grasps his hair, and bestows a certain
number of blows upon each side of his face, with a sort of double
battledore, made of thick leather.
