Curiously, in the previous picture, we see that when Maria Viola was punished for truancy someone has written her initial and surname (misspelt) in column 3 in a very shaky hand. I suppose a pupil might misspell their name immediately after being caned, and write it in the wrong column by mistake. Maybe, but a little strange! The convention used to be, I believe, to cane on the non-writing hand. But as you note the pupils could have endorsed the book before they were caned, or they could have been caned other than on the hand. Sadly the book doesn’t seem to have a column for ‘caned on’.
