Shaving the head is sometimes resorted to.

A very sever punishment frequently adopted, is requiring the apprentice to make up for the time during which he is confined.

If he is committed for ten working days, he must give the master ten successive Saturdays.
This last regulation is particularly oppressive and palpably unjust.

It matters not how slight the offence may have been, it is discretionary with the special magistrate to mulct the apprentice of his Saturdays.
This provision really would appear to have been made expressly for the purpose of depriving the apprentices of their own time.

It is a direct inducement to the master to complain.
