Subject: Punishment

This document contains a report from The Committee on the Judiciary and a proposed bill to amend the law related to trading with slaves in South Carolina. Authored by Franklin J. Moses as Chairman of the Committee on the Judiciary, the report details the rationale for stronger penalties against illegal slave trading and liquor sales to enslaved persons. The proposed amendment to the bill specifies increased fines, imprisonment, and physical punishment (whipping) for repeat offenders, explicitly excluding white females from corporal punishment. The document is a printed form, showing signs of age with some staining and torn edges, characteristic of historical legislative papers from the mid-19th century. The amendment was successfully passed on December 21, 1857. The description also notes the historical significance of this specific amendment, its absence in prominent historical texts on the slave trade, and the involvement of Franklin J. Moses Sr., a notable figure in South Carolina's history. **3.
