With no police force, crime was so wildly out of control that the death penalty was routine - by the end of the 17th century it was prescribed for more than 150 offenses. Prynne got off lightly: he was fined ?5,000, had both ears cut off, and was branded on his cheeks with the letters S and L. But for all its brutality, his sentence followed trial and conviction.
