The Life of Peter the Great: Formerly Emperor of Russia (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from The Life of Peter the Great: Formerly Emperor of Russia

Batugos. A sort of punishment in which the crimi nal is laid flat on his face, with his back all bare, and his legs and arms extended, when two persons whip him with hattocks, which are sticks as thick as a man's little finger, keeping time like smiths, till the party who inflicts the sentence says it is enough.
