That evening after Roll Call, a Delinquent, James Coleman, soldier of the Lieut Colonel’s Company, sentenced to Receive 1000 Lashes for Desertion, received near five hundred & would have received more had not I intervened to hinder any more proceedings as he was not able to endure any more. That very evening of the 30th he was ordered by the Commanding officer to the flogging post to receive the rest of his punishment, without Consulting me whether he was fit to receive them or not. He appeared under a file of men, in presence of the whole garrison, to undergoe that which he was not able to support. At that Juncture, he immediately fell upon his Knees & begged Capt. Turnbull to delay the rest of his punishment till he was more fit to undergoe them. Upon this application Capt. Turnbull asked my oppinion. I answered he was not fit, & consequently he was under the necessity of being carryed home to the Guard house by two soldiers of the guard. This lenity of mine in favours of the prisoner produced the following Garrison orders (tho’ there was no previous complaint lodged): _Michilimackinac 31. May 1771. For the future the officer of the Day will visit the men’s barracks every forenoon at 12 o’clock to see that the Barracks are kept clean & that the sick or lame are regularly visited by the Surgeon; when prisoners are in that situation the Sergt. of the Guard will report to the officer of the day if it should happen that they are not Regularly attended._
