1 G. 4. c. 57.

Judgment or sentence of

whipping

shall not be awarded on female offenders;

but instead

therefore imprisonment or solitary confinement.

Women (Whipping.)

By stat. 1 Geo. 4. c. 57. § 1. stat. 57 Geo. 3. c. 75. (ante, p. 565.) is repealed.

§ 2. Enacts, that from and after the passing of this act, [15th July, 1820.] judgment or sentence shall in no case whatever be given and awarded against any female or females convicted of any offence whatsoever, that such female offender or offenders do suffer the punishment of being whipped either publicly or privately; any law, statute, or usage, to the contrary notwithstanding.

§ 3. Enacts, that in all cases where the punishment of whipping, either publicly or privately, on female offenders, has hitherto formed the whole or part of the judgment or sentence to be pronounced, or has in any other case been inflicted, it shall and may be lawful for the court or justice of the peace before whom any such offender shall be tried or convicted, to pass sentence of confinement to hard labour in the common gaol or house of correction, for any space of time not exceeding six months, nor less than one month; or of solitary confinement therein for any space not exceeding the space of seven days at any one time, in lieu of the sentence of being publicly or privately whipped, as to the said court or justice shall seem most proper: Provided, that nothing herein contained shall extend, or be construed to extend, in any manner to change, alter, or affect any punishment whatsoever which may now be by law inflicted in respect of any offence, save and except only the punishment of publicly or privately whipping on female offenders, in manner as herein-before is enacted.
