Lawyer turns down chance to demonstrate caning

 


 

A young lawyer declined an offer to be caned on the buttocks during a court case. He was asked to be a guinea pig so the jury could see how a headmaster had caned a schoolboy. Oh, how everyone laughed, according to this report from 1945.

  1. At first, i envisaged the boy getting a savage caning in the same manner shown in the film "Young Winston". But the instrument of chastisement was described as a "glorified slipper". Perhaps some sort of leather paddle? Still painful tho!
