In page Flagellation:

"

Once common in the British Army and British Royal Navy as a means of discipline, flagellation also featured prominently in the British penal colonies in early colonial Australia. Given that convicts in Australia were already "imprisoned", punishments for offenses committed there could not usually result in imprisonment and thus usually consisted of corporal punishment such as hard labour or flagellation. Unlike Roman law, British law explicitly forbade the combination of corporal and capital punishment, so that a convict was either flogged or hanged but never both.[citation needed]
