---------------------------
"While burglary and abduction thus cost those concerned in them their lives, other crimes met with fitting punishment. Manslaughter was generally punished with two years' imprisonment and burning in the hand;...and notable fraud in buying and selling, with the pillory and six months imprisonment - a punishment inflicted in 1817, on Edward HART, for passing on David CULBERTSON as 'good, sound, and merchantable butter,' four casks of 'gravel and other rubbish,' each cask being covered on the top with a thin layer of butter. The augur does not appear to have been in use at this early period of the Sligo butter market. It may be here stated that a pillory was preserved in the Provost's court down to the year 1848, when it disappeared and, probably, was destroyed."
