Stocks (justice)
The stocks are a set of wooden rails with holes cut in them for the wrists and ankles of criminals. The miscreants were imprisoned in the stocks so that all the public could see who the guilty were. This gave the populace good target practice for throwing - rotten eggs, mouldy fruit and vegetables, and even excrement, were popular missiles - and spitting, as well as improving their insults.
