_Finger Stocks_ (Vol. iv., p. 315.).--In Littlecote Hall, the fine old
seat of the Pophams, in Wiltshire, one of these machines was preserved,
and I doubt not but that it is still to be seen there.
It is of oak, and stands upon a pillar and base like those of a small
round table. I always understood that it was employed as an instrument
of domestic punishment.
