Chairperson, yes, you asked how many times she was hit.  I didn't count the number of times, it may be less, it may also have been more.  Similarly with regard to the time, after such a long time it is very difficult to say precisely how long it took or how many blows were dealt.  The intention was not to hit her in order to assault her.  Col Taylor was trying to prove his point when he hit her with the sjambok on the back, it may have been two to three blows per occasion and then he would have continued.
