Chapter III The Slaves New Years Day(pages 12-13)
If a slave is unwilling to go with his new master, he is whipped, or locked up in jail, until he consents to go, and promises not to run away during the year. should he chance to change his mind, thinking its justifiable to violate an extorted promise, woe unto him if he is caught! the whip is used till the blood flows at his feet; and his stiffened limbs are put in chains, to be dragged in the field for days and days! if he lives until the next year perhaps the same man will hire him again, without even giving him an opportunity of going to the hiring ground.after those for hire are disposed of, those for sale are called up.
women also had their struggles with their masters since slaves were paqid of they had to do whatever their master said and they would try to defend themselves and get punished for it but it would depend on their punishment some had more severe then others.
