BIA~K S~à~Œ .	~

	‘I remember one time they caught a man named George Tinaley, They

put the dogs on him and they bit ‘im and tore all his clothes off of ‘im. Then they ~xt ‘im in the stocks. The stocka was a big piece ot timber with hinges in it. It had a hole in it for your head. They would lift it up and put your head in it. There was holes for your head, hands and feet in

it.	Then they would shut it up and they would lay that ihip on you and you oouldn‘ t do nothin‘ 1~it wiggle and hoUer, ‚ Pray, master, ray‘ ~it when they‘d let that man out, he‘d run away again.
