As a child I witnessed one of the scullery boys being caned, he was caught scrumping apples. He never did it again and the lashing healed quickly. All in all I think it was an appropriate punishment for a seven year old

Glad we are on the same page but I draw the line at anything more than dipping a rattan cane in brine, more than 17 strokes is excessive
