    'stang' (OED, sv 'stang, n.1,' b, 'to ride the stang'): 'In some places in Scotland and the north of England, one who has in certain ways incurred the indignation of his or her fellow- villagers is compelled to "ride the stang" (either personally, in effigy, or by proxy), accompanied by a jeering crowd and sometimes "rough music".' Hodshon's offence is not noted by the court but the rough music is supplied by the piper.
