PUNISHMENT OP ANIMALS.
Curious Custom That Was Formerly
in Voguo in Europe Pigs Fre
quently Hanged or Burned for
Murder Execution of an Ox.
From the Gretn IJag.
Beasts were often condemned to be
burned nllvo, and, strangely enough,
It was In the latter half of the sev
enteenth century, un ago of compara
tive enlightenment, thnt this cruel pen
alty was most frequently Inflicted. Oc
casionally a merciful Judge adhered to
the letter of the law by sentencing the
culprit to be slightly singed, and then
to be strangled before being burned.
Sometimes they were condemned to be
burled alive. Such wan tho fate Buf
fered by two pigs in 1450, "on the vigil
of the holy virgin," at Oppenhelm-on-Rhine,
for killing n child. Animals
were even put to the rack In order to
extort confession. It Is not to be sup
posed that tho Judge had the slightest
expectation that any confession would
bo made; ho wished simply to observe
nil forms prescribed by the law, and
to set In motion the whole machinery
of Justice before pronouncing Judg
ment. "The ijuestlon," which In such
cases would r,em to be only a wanton
and superfluous act of cruelty, was
nevertheless an important element in
determining the final decision, since
the death sentence could be commuted
into banishment provided the criminal
had not confessed under torture. The
use of the rack was therefore i. means
of escaping the gallows. Appeals were
sometimes made to higher tribunals,
and the Judgments of the lower courts
annulled or modified. In one Instance
a sow and a she-ass were condemned
to be hanged; on appeal and after .a
new trial they were sentenced to be
simply knocked on the head. In an
other Instance an appeal led to the
acquittal of the accused.
Bl'RNED FOR MURDER.
In 1206, at Fontenay-aux-Roses, near
Paris, a pig, convicted of having eaten
a child, was publicly burned by order
of tho monks of Sainte-Genevieve. In
1386 the tribunal of Fnlalse sentenced
a sow to be mangled and maimed In
the head and leg, and then to be
hanged, for having torn the face and
arm of a child and caused Its death.
Here wo have a strict application of
the lex tallouls. The sow was dressed
In man's clothes and executed in tne
public square, neur the city hall, at tho
exjiense to the state of ten sous and
ten denlers, besides a pair of gloves to
the hangmnn.
Tho executioner was provided with
new gloves In order that he might
come from the discharge of his duty
with clean hands, thus Indicating that
ns a minister ot Justice he Incurred no
guilt In shedding blood. He was not
a common butcher of swine, but a pub
lic functionary, a "master of high
works" (innltre des hautes oeuvres), as .
he was officially styled. In 1394 a pig
was found guilty of "huving killed and ,
murdered a. child in the parish of Ron- I
maygne. In the country of Mortuing,
for which deed the sold pig was con
demned to be druvvn nnd hanged by
Jehan Pettlt, lieutenant of the bailiff."
EXECUTION OF AN OX.
There Is also extant an order Issued
by the magistracy of Glsors In 1105.
commanding payment to be mado to
the carpenter who had erected tho scaf
fold on which an ox had been executed
"for Its demerits." Brute and human
crlmlnnls were confined in the samo
prison and subjected to the same treat
ment. Thus "Toustaln Plncheon, keeper
of the prisons of our lord tho king In
the town of Pont do Larche," acknowl
edges the receipt of "nineteen sous six
dealers tournols for having found the
king's bread for the prisoners detained,
by reason of crime. In the said prison."
The jailer glve9 tho names of the per
sons In custody, and concludes the list
with the "item" of "ono pig, kept from
the 24th of June, 1403, inclusive, till the
17th of July," when it was executed
for "the crime of having murdered und
killed a little child." For the pig's
board he charges two denlers tournols
a day. the same nt for boarding a
man. He also put Into account "ten
denlers tournols for a rope found and
delivered for the purpose of tying the
said pic that it might not escape."
In the case of a mule condemned to
be burned alive nt Montpeller in 15iin,
as tho animal was vicious and kicky,
tho executioner cut oft his feet before
consigning tt to the flames. The mutil
ation was an arbitrary nnd rxtru-Judl-clal
act, dictated solely by considera
tions of personal convenience. Hong
men were often guilty of supereroga
tory cruelty in the pxt-rclse of their
bloody functions. AViilers on c: (initial
Jurisprudence repeatedly complain of
this evil and call for reform. Thus
Dambouder In his "Rerum Crimlnalium
Praxis" urges magistrates to be more
careful In selecting persons for this
Important ofl'ce, and not to choose no
torious violators of tho law us vindica
tors of justice. Indeed, thee hardened
wretches sometimes took the law Into
their own hands. Thus, on tho 'Jth of
June, 1576. at Schwelnfurt In Frun
conlit, u sow which had bitten off the
ear and torn the hand of a child was
given In custody to the hangman, who,
without further authority, took It to
the gallows green and there "hanged It
publicly, to tho disgrace and detriment
of tho city." For this Imprudent usur
pation of Judiciary powers Jack Ketch

On the 10th of January, It-", a sow
was convicted of murder, committed on
the person of an Infant named Jehau
Martin, of Savignj, nnd sentenced to
be hanged. Her six sucklings were
also Included In th Indictment as ac
complices, but "In default of any posi
tive proof that they had assisted In
mangling the deceased, they werv re
stored to their owner, on condition that
he should give ball for their appear
ance should further evidence he forth
coming to prove their complicity In
their mother's crime." About a month
later, "on the Friday after the Feast
of the Purification of the Virgin," the
sucklings were again brought before
the -otirt, and as their owner. Jehan
Ballly, declined to be answerable for
their future good conduct, they were
declared forfeited to tho noble damsel
Katherlne de Barnnult. l.ndy ot Sav
lgny. Sometimes n line was imposed
upon the owner of the offending beast,
as was the case with Jehnn D.-llande

April. 1199, bv the abbey of Josaphiu,
near Chartres, to pay eighteen franca
on recount of the murder of a child
named Olllon, nged live years and a

executed by Justice."
