New-York Tribune, August 7, 1841

A negro named Lyttleton has been sentenced, at New Orleans, to receive seventy-five lashes upon his bare back, and to wear an iron collar with THREE PRONGS around his neck for three months, for striking a white man! Since the late rumor of an attempt at insurrection, the people of New Orleans have been very much incensed against the blacks, and seem determined to proceed with needless severity against those who offend.
