The sentence of the court was carried out by a scourger, sometimes called flagellator, or flogger. |
While I am the original flogger of dead horses, some anguish just ain't worth it. |
The next day, when he peeks inside the storage room again, all three men are still in there, and the flogger is still brandishing his switch. |
He was headmaster of Oundle School between 1718 and 1722, where he acquired the reputation of a keen flogger. |
The play still shocks with the pettiness of the offences that have brought the convicts to the flogger or the hangman. |
As U-turns go, it makes the recent conversion of that MP from hanger and flogger to the acceptable face of breakfast TV seem inconsequential. |
