_The Ducking Stool._--In the Museum at Scarborough, one of these engines
is preserved. It is said that there are persons still living in the town,
who remember its services being employed when it stood upon the old pier.
It is a substantial arm-chair of oak; with an iron bar extending {316}
from elbow to elbow, just as the wooden one is placed in child's chair to
prevent the occupant from falling forward.
