‘When school was reached Church, Dr Wilson [ordered three prefects to go to his study and] asked him why he did not kneel [and he] said he did not know; and immediately Dr Wilson said he would cane him, if he did not find out. Not receiving an immediate reply, Dr Wilson losing all control over himself seized a large cane and commenced belabouring [him] over the head and shoulders. [The prefect] in self-defence, opened the door and tried to escape. Dr Wilson pursued him till [he] fell, and struck him while on the ground. He then brought him back to the study [and] administered a severe thrashing.’
