Nicholls - The Early Settlers - Flogging was a common punishment on farms, as Noel Smith described to his mother: 'If you know of anyone anxious to go grey quickly, send them out here to handle niggers', and 'My Africans wanted a 10 instead of an 11-hour day, so I flogged the nearest, and a few more, then got them to flog the others.' - Noel Smith papers - RH
