Whipping
Whipping, a punishment not authorized in modern times except under a statutory enactment [(English) Criminal Justice Administration Act, 1914]. No person can be whipped more than once for the same offence (ibid., s. 36). Numerous Acts provide for the whipping of boys under 16: adult males may be whipped, e.g., under the Criminal Law Amendment Act, 1912, when convicted on indictment under the Vagrancy Act, 1898, for the second time, or when convicted of certain offences against women under s. 2 of the (English) Criminal Law Amendment Act, 1885; and also for robbery with violence.

Previous conviction
Previous conviction. The 11th s. of the (English) Criminal Law Act, 1827 (7 & 8 Geo. 4, c. 28), reciting that 'it is expedient to provide for the more exemplary punishment of offenders who commit felony after a previous conviction for felony,' empowered a Court to inflict transportation for life and whipping for such subsequent conviction. Penal servitude has since been substituted for transportation, and the whipping is abolished. The (English) Larceny Act, 1916 (6 & 7 Geo. 5, c. 50), by s. 37, authorizes the infliction of penal servitude up to ten years on those committing simple larceny after having been previously convicted of felony and up to seven years if previously convicted of an indictable misdemeanour punishable under the Act or twice summarily convicted of certain other offences; males under sixteen are liable to whipping in addition.Frequently statutes [see, e.g., (English) Licensing Act, 1872, s. 12, as to drunkenness; (English) Road Traffic Act, 1930, s. 13; (English) Tr...
