'3ristol, Feb. 18, 1842. THE TRUCK SYSTEM IN REFER ENCE TO TILE LAND .AND TO THE CHURCH. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Silt, — The oft repeated cry of 1-.-avy burd ens on t h e land, led to inquiries which proved that the land owners in their capacity of legisl itors, had in the i:nposition of taxes greatly favoured themselves at the expense of the rest of the community. In like manner, the recent attempt of Mr. Ferrand to excite public indignation against the manu facturers, . by calumnious statements, alike dis graceful to himself and to the men who listened to them with delight, ought to turn the eyes of in telligent men towards the Land and the Church, with which the greater number of the Members of both Houses of Parliament are intimately con nected. It would be easy to show that the truck system prevails to as great an extent in agricultural districts and amongst Ecclesiastical persons as it is said to do amongst manufacturers. It would be easy to produce cases of agricultural labourers, low as their wages are, and made still lower by the deduction of rainy days, who are kept for months without their wages, and are ultimately induced to accept in pay ment wheat, flour, and potatoes, at such price as the farmer chooses to fix upon them. You would not have to travel far in the county of Wilts without discover ing that the cottages which stand upon the farm, and which are said to be held by the labourers rent free, do in fact form part of their weekly wages. Ask the farmer how it happens that he gives an able-bodied labourer only 6s. or 7s. a-week, when the same la. bourer would obtain elsewhere Bs. or Ps., and he wili tell you that the wages are, in reality, the same, but that the cottage, or cottage and garden, are equiva lent to 2s. a week, which, with the 6s. or 7s. in money, make the total wages of Bs. or Ps. Go amongst the clergy, and you will make a simi lar discovery. What clergyman is there of some al years standin in the Church ; w h o h as no t me t w ith cases of you g men just leaving the Univer s ity, w h o , after the eat expenses of an academical.education, are anxious to provide an honest income, but who are compelled to officiate for the. first twelve months without any stipend whatever, and whose only remuneration has been a title for orders, with out which they could not have been • ordained by the bishop, but which was never intended to be a source of emolument to the incumbent, or to be sub stituted for that pecuniary hire of which the clerical labourer is worthy. It would be easy to state cases in which the pro prietors of land, being also proprietors of livings, which are upon their estates have made bargains with the clergy to whom they are about to present these livings ; and thus putting into their own pockets large amounts of ecclesiastical revenue, to which they have not the least claim, as it is clear that when they pur chased their estates, the tithes upon those estates being public property, were not included in such purchase. In this case, the patron taking advantage of a clergyman's necessity, or want of principle, instead of paying from his estate the full value of the tithes, induces the presentee to accept such a maintenance as may be derived from the living thus robbed, and wishes him to. consider the honour of promotion to a rectory and the security of a fixed income as substitutes fOr the remainder of the tithes which would be justly due. ' Nothing is more common in the payment of curates by non-resident incumbents than to con sider the parsonage-house as a large portion, and not 'infrequently the entire amount of the curate's salary. In the Ecclesiastical Gazette for this month, a publication which enjoys the patronage of the Bishops and Clergy, appear the fol lowing advertisements : " Wanted for twelve months or more, to take charge of a small country parish, a Curate, by whom a good house, well furnished, would be considered a sufficient •remuneration for his services. Address the Rev. M. A., Mr. Robinson, stationer, 114, Fen church-street, London." " Wanted a Curate for a small parish, beautifully situated within sixty miles of London. The rectory house is furnished, with some land attached to it, and would . be considered a remuneration. A title to orders if the testimonials are satisfactory, can be given. Address A. 8., Post-office, Truro, Cornwall." " The use of a well situated Parsonage-house and garden, in a southern county, not far from the sea, for a period of fro m th ree t o six months, to be agreed on from the beginning of April, is hereby offered to any incumbent of sound Church principles and expe rience, on condition of undertaking for the tim e th e care of a country parish. Address A. 8., Post-office, Tunbridge Wells. ' The following instance of the Clerical Truck System, in a parish less than forty miles from London, has recently come within my own knowledge. The value of the living is 4501. a year, the curate lives in the parsonage house, and his salary is as follows :—a furnished house, fifteen acres of glebe land, and ten pounds in money. If questioned upon the subject the rector would state that he gives his curate 1001. a-year, and would leave the impression that lie r e t a i ns f o r him self, fordoing nothing and for perpetual non-resi dente, only 350/. a-year, but when we come to ana• lyze the curate's stipend, it stands* thus : Furnished house Glebe land.. tioning creditor's debt, trading, or act of bankruptcy. appear insufficient, the adjudication to be annulled, 24.

Sun, November 25, 1841. We have great pleasure in noticing this useful work, of which we have received an early copy. It exceeds the size of the Directory of last year, and probably is the most complete and correct town-guide yet published. The following outline of the contents will enable the reader to form some idea of the vast undertaking. It contains an Official Directory, itith the names alphabetically arranged, of all civil officers under Go vernment, in the Bank of England, East India House, and all other public establishments. A Street Directory, which in cludes gentry as well as traders ; and subjoined to this, are two others, giving, the names at full length, of sixty thousand per. sons engaged in commerce, and lists of two thousand trades established in the metropolis, with the tradesmen attached to each, and the subdivisions of every trade accurately defined. There are separate Directories also for the Court ; the Par liament, with the most recent addresses of the Members of both Houses ; the Law, with a list of all officers from the Lord Chancellor down to the usher of the most inferior Court : and the City of London, with the names and addresses of all City Officers, Companies, &c. The Cou r t Di rectory inc l udes the names of twenty-five thousand persons nut engaged in trade, and takes a wider range than any other work of the kind. The information respecting the Post-office will be found eminently useful to persons of every description ; and among ether additions made to it for this year is one of great importance, showing the time at which a I tter from London should be delivered at any place in England or Wales, and the time at which the letter-box for London closes in each place. The facilities afforded by the Postmaster-General give the compilers a :vantages which could not otherwise be obtained The information is furnished from the Post-office gratuitously, it is of the latest possible date, and has been all collected or confirmed within the last two months. We have had little time yet to test its accuracy, but have no doubt that it fully maintains, in that respect, the high character of that published for the year 1841. The work is beautifully printed, sold at a moderate price and will be found of grea t serv i ce t o persons i n every rank of life. - UEGAL and GENERAL LIFE ASSURANCE AA OFFICE, 24th March, 1842.—Notice is hereby given, that the ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING of the MEM BERS of this SOCIETY, pursuant to the Deed of Settle ment, will be held at the Office of the Society, No. 10, Fleet street,.

We have been favoured with a sight of this elaborate work ; and we must pronounce it vastly superior to the previous vol umes. The contents are admirably arranged. There is a distinct alphabetical li t of the names, in number, of all civil officers under Government, in the Bank of England, East Jndia House, and all ceher public establishments; an alphabetical list of streets in the metropolis and its vicinity, with the inhabit ants according to their numerical order in each street; the only Street Directory yet published which includes gentry as well as traders. There is also a list of all officers, from the Lord Chan cellor down to the Usher of the most inferior Court • Police Courts, with thei r o ffi cers an d j ur i s di ct i ons; alphabetical lists of Queen's Serjeants, Queen's Counsel, Serjeants at law, Benchers, Ba: ri.ters, Special Pleaders, Conveyancers, Proctors, Attorneys, Notaries, &c. The names of all persons in the metropolis and its immediate vicinity not engaged in trade, are given with the most accurate lists yet published of the New Parliament, and the most recent addresses of the Members of both Houses. There are, besides, the name and add r e sses o f City Offi cers an d Common Councilmen; City Companies and their clerks; lists of sworn brokers ; Lieutenancy of the City, &c A list is given of all the principal places in England, Ireland, and Scot and distinguishing those which grant and pay money-orders, land, referring to the money-order office nearest to those which do not ; and an alphabetical list of the streets of London, with a reference from each to the nearest receiving-house which grants and pays money-orders. This will afford the upportudity in all cases, in town and country, of applying to the nearest office for a money-order, and of obtaining it upon the office moat contiguous to the residence of the party in whose fatour it is drawn. Another important introduction this year shows the time at which a letter from London should be delivered ar"any place in England or Wales, and the time at which the letter-box for London closes in each place ; thus affording the opportunity of calculating in all cases the " return of post." independent of all this information, we have copious accounts of all conveyances by railways, stage-coaches, waggons, carts, vans, vessels, barges and boats ; with complete accounts of all the bankers, joint-stock-banks, and banking establishments of the United Kingdom ; the names of the Directors and officers of the various Assurance Companies, with the rates of Assurance, &c. , are also furnished in ample detail. One great feature in this work is, that it directs an individual to the position of any number in the street, by noting the intersection of churches, courts, streets, lanes, alleys, Sic., between one house and another. It often happens that a person may forget the name of the tradesman he wants, although he knows the street. The Street Directory in this book helps him out of this difficulty by giving the names of the inhabitants of each house of No. 1 upwards. Sund=y Times, December 5, 1841. This useful work is just published ; it is, in short, a Com mercial, Trades, Law, Court, Parliamentary,City, Postago,Con vey ance, Banking, and an Official Directory. It contains an almanack, list of stamp duties, Post-office rules, and, in fact, a body of intelligence too great for detail. Respecting the accuracy of such a work, it is, of course, impossible to speak; the most inveterate Magliabechi that ever gulped quartos, or bolted folios, would scarcely undertake the pet usal of a Direc tory. It is not saying too much to declare that the Post-office Directory is a work unexampled even in this country. To ap proximate closely to the communication, of the names, resi dences, and trades of the inhabitants of London, a task from which a literary Hercules might flinch. Railway Magazine, December 4, 1841. Judging from the great superiority of the last edition of this work over its competitors, we did not anticipate the improve ments which have been effected in the present, which not only place this Directory at the head of the list, but must drive:the others out of the field. An entirely new division has been introduced, viz., the " Official Directory," which furnishes the lull names and positions of all persons holding public situations under Government, the East India Company, the Bank, &c. The scope of that important branch, the " Street Directory," has beed very considerably extended ; and thou sands are now included, who reside without the narrow limits beyond which our books of refei erica have not before passed : here we have a register of all, whether dwelling in Barns bury Park, Besinghall-street. or Belgrave-square, in King's road, Che'sea, or in Kingsland ; and one of the great advan tages peculiar to this publication is, that all inhabitants are inserted in their numerical order. We know of no other street list in which either all the gentry, or all the mer chants, traders, and tradesmen, are not ....incredible as the fact may appear—entirely omitted. We may mention that it gives the names of the Directors of most of the Railway and , Insurance Companies, and a complete List of Officers of Joint- Stock Companies. The " Parliamentary Directory" is co pious ; in it the offices held by every Peer and Commoner are accurately detailed, even to the recent appointment of Lord' Ellenborough at Governor. General of India, and of his suc cessor at the India Board, Lord Fitzgerald. The "Postage Directory" furnishes much original and highly valuable in-' formation in reference to Money Orders, and to the precise time of the deliveries of letters throughout the country. A volume so valuable as this will be generally appreciated. It does honour to the establishment which can put forth so vast an amount of authentic information of character so diversified, and it reflects credit on those who have so arranged it that the work is eqnally a model of compilation anti of typography. We cannot but think that a title more appropriate than merely " Post -office London Directory'' migh, be chosen. 'f he work surely merits a name that would convey a definite idea of in forma:i.sn so vast and varied, uniting as it does, in one volume, Directory, Court G u id e, and Court ' Kalendar, and superseding the whole class of similar publications. Globe, December 1, 1841. This useful " Annual" comprises, among other information, an Official Street, Commercial, Trades, Law Court, Parlia mentary, City, P os t age, C onveyar ce, and Banking Directories. It is only necessary to announce the publication itself, and to add that, arranged as it has been with care and attention, aided by sources of official information peculiar to itself, it may be taken as a safe guide in the various matters upon which it professes to enlighten the public.

Total £lOO The curate, during the time of my visit, having called•my attention to the state of the house, which is out of repair, and to the furniture; the better part of which, he informed me, was his own, declared his opinion to be that the house and furniture were not more than half the sum at which they were estimated by the rector. I asked him why he did not call upon the incumbent to repair the house out of the large income he received for doing ,nothing ? His reply was, that it was perfectly useless to make any application to the rector, and that if he were again to write to him on the subject, it would probably lead to a quarrel between them, and end in his leaving the curacy. If the adoption of the truck system by the master manufacturer, who pays the workman for work done for himself, out of property possessed by himself, be an evil, how much more enormous is that evil, when out of public money, received by the rector, as a trustee, on certain conditions, the work done for the public is so unworthily paid for. I have known curates who have had no other sa lary than the surplice fees which they received for marriages, christenings, and burials. I have known others in places of fashion, whose stipend has con sisted in the scarfs, bands, and gloves, which were presented to them at funerals and weddings, the fee itself being delivered up, according to engagement, to the rector. Many clergymen are induced to enter upon such arrangements for the same reason that manufacturing operatives accept goods instead of mo ney, because the supply of labourers, whether cleri cal or manufacturing, being greater than the demand, the employer has the opportunity of making his own terms. There is, however, this important differ ence between the two cases ; that when the master manufacturer makes unworthy stipulations ivith his men, he is driven to do so by the difficulties of trade, caused by the Corn and Provision-laws ; whereas the employer of curates is influenced by no such neces sity. With him all is prosperous ; and whatever be the misfortunes.of other men, his income of 500/., or 1,0001. a year is secured to him for life. Whatever may be the hard lot of the operative when out of employ, that of the curate is quite as bad. Always liable to be dismissed by the rector, or at the pleasure of the bishop, without any reason being assigned ; and ultimately compelled to give up his income of 40/. or 601. a-year, when sickness or old age approaches, he is thrown upon the wide world without any provision whatever. Times, December 3, 1841. This useful matter-of-fact volume has just been published by Messrs. Kelly and Co., of Old Boswell -court, Temple-bar, and will no doubt be, as it ought to be, in the hands of every merchant, banker, and tradesman in the country. It is, independently of its utility, by which it is rendered indis. pensable to every counting-house and shop, a curious eta • tistical monument of the extent, importance, trade, and wealth of the metropolis, and as such a document deserving the attention even of persons who arc not immediately in terested in commercial and business pursuits. The present volume for 1842 contains some irapalant new fitter, with which the preceding volumes were not furnished—ittias an im portant addition, " The official Directory." an alphabetical list of all persons holding situations under the Crown, of all persons holding situations in the Etta India House, in the Bank of England, and in the various law, city offices, and all other public offices. This addition is of itself enough to show the greatimins taken by the Proprietors to render the book perfect. There is also some useful information given relative to the " Money Order-office," to which, if the public would pay more attention than they have hithi rto done, less would be heard of the loss of money by the transmission of remittances by post in the manner usually adopted. The number of stamps issued to the various newspapers published throughout England and gales is given, together with the amount of stamp duties on advertisements paid by each paper respectively, arid, indeed, a mass of information is brought together from which the best informed may derive some increase of knowledge, and to which the attention of the most ignorant and careless can hardly be called in vain. As far as the cursory examination can justify an opinion, and it is next to impcksible to pay to such a work as this the minute attention it deserves, it appears to be compiled with indefatigable industry, extreme vigilance, and an excellent judgment for arrangement. Morning Post, December 29, 1841. The charge, whether true or fa!se, brought against the" An nuals," that, however pretty they may be, they are of little or no use, cannot in any degree apply to this singular publication. Within the single volume, neatly brought out by Messrs. Kelly and Co., of Old Boswell-court, Temple-bar, is comprised all the information that can be nseful to the fashionable, legal, or commercial communities. "It includes a " Court Directory," which alone contains about five-and-twenty thousand names ; a" Law Directory" of the most ample description, giving, among other details, no fewer than sixteen large pages of a " General List of Stamps ;" an " Official Directory," with an index of six thousand persons holding situations under !he Crown, in the Bank, the East India House, and other public departments ; the " Commercial Directory," perhaps the ful lest and mostcomplete that has ever yet appeared, and a variety of miscellaneous matter which it is impossible to particularise here. In short, from our own observation, we can safely pro nounce this work a " sine qua non" to everybody who desires to become acquainted with the great metropolitan world of London. _ _ 71. Enacts that the salaries of the Judge, Com missioners, and other officers of the Court of Bank ruptcy, shall be paid out of the fund entitled " the Secretary of Bankrupts' Account." 72. Empowers the Lord Chancellor to order re tiring annuities to the Judge and Commissioners of the Court of Bankruptcy and their successors. 73. Provision for certain expenses, and salary of the Accountant in Bankruptcy ; and the appointment of additional clerks to such Accountant, &c. Clauses 74 to 84 relate to matters of minor im - portance. The Lord Chancellor is empowered, amongst other things, to appoiut a taxing officer of the Court of Bankruptcy. 85. The several Courts acting in the prosecution of fiats of bankruptcy to be auxiliary to each other for proof of debts, &c. Britannia, 27, . The old proverb says it N is croo ovember d to let lB4l well alone; but we see no possibl e reason why well should be left to stand still, so long as better is clearly attainable; and such appears to b e th e opinion o f th e enterpr i sing proprietors of the " Post-office Lon don Directory." The present edition is superior in many re spects, to any of its predecessors. On its first appearance, it was a neat and correct pocket volume—nothing more ; but it has gone on improving and augmenting from year to yerr, till, by the mere force of its manifest superiority. it has fairly beaten every competitor out of the field, and become, from the variety, copiousness, and accuracy of its information, an indispensable requisite to every count ing-house and shop in the metropolis and its suburbs. It would be quite impossible, in a brief notice, to give anything like an adequate idea of the contents of a closely-printed royal octavo volume, running to upwards of 1,500 pages. It can only be justly described as a series of Directories, each one complete in itself, and each of peculiar value to every per son engaged in business. For instance, is the residence of any particular person required, a reference to the " Commer cial' or " Court Directory" will at once give the desired in formation. If a complete list of all persons engaged in any one of the various professions or trades exercised in the me tropolis is sought, turn to the " Trades' Directory," and you have, ready to your hand, arranged in alphauetical order, and with the residence attached. a return of every ac countant, apothecary, artist, &c., &c., within the limits of the bills of mortality. It is the same with every other depart ment of the work. We have never seen any volume containing so much matter, so well divided, and clearly arranged.. The intimate connexion of the proprietor with the Post-office en sured him the most accurate information; and his printers' extensive printing-office and steam-presses enabled him to issue his sheets with surprising sapidity; so that every change is made up almost to the day ef publication.. The whole book is worthy of the mighty city it anatomises ; the most correct. as wel as the most useful, record of its industry, its vastness, assd its intelligence ; and, if we keep in mind the enterprise neces sary for the conception of such a work, the immense care re quired in its preparation, the enormous ca i rital required to produce it, and, considering its bulk and variety, the sur prisingly low price at which it is issued, we must eronounce it, notwithstanding the typographical wonders daily issued from Pre.s, the most surprising volume to which the first city in the world has yet given birth. John Bull, November 27, 1841. Again we have to bestow our praise on the completeness and cheapness of the multifarious information comprised in the " Post office L mlon Directory," which comprehends within one moderately-s , zed volume, of clear and easy reference, a Commercial, I'rades', Law, Court, and Parliamentary Direc tory. It is at once the fullest volume of the kind, the most ex act, has the most recent intelligence—the information i: em bodies haviiv been collected within the last seventy days from official source, and through agents possessing the requisite lo cal knowledge, and is altogether thg completest guide-book to the metropolis that has hitherto appeared. Spectator, Dec. 4, 1841. This extensive work still continues to grow. Besides a revi sion and extension of the other branches, the Official Directory has now been increased so as to form a division of itself. This of the lis t persons of perso are its part, like the other sections of the subject, is su bdi v id e d ; one part containing a list of Government and othe r p u bli c of fi ces, under which employmentsand arranged; holding offices under the Crown, in the East I n di a House, flank of England , &c.

Clauses 86, 87, and 88, provide for contingencies, &c. of minor importance. 89. Act may be altered or repealed this Session. AMINISTER EXTRAORDINARY. The following statement of an extraordinary affair may be relied on, as our information is derived from a source which precludes all possibility of doubt : A Mr. D., an Austrian subject, but a Venetian by birth, and formerly an officer in the Austrian naval service, was, some years ago, sentenced to five years' imprisonment in the Castle of Spielberg, for having been intimately connected with the Carbonari in Italy. At the expiration of the term of his imprisonment he obtained permission from h!s Government to leave his country, and has been absent up to the present period, the Austrian Government, howevr, not entirely losing sight of him. lle was for some time resident in Paris, but lately his scene of action has been the Spanish frontier, where he suddenly pr esen t e d hi mse lf a t G enera l llodil's head-quarters, as the embryo secretary of an Aus trian embassy to Madrid, stating that the Court of Austria had determined very shortly to recognise the young Queen. Isabella of Spain. The important news was rapidly transmitted to Madrid, of course with all possible privacy. Our adven turer soon followed, and was received with open arms by M. Gonzales, the Minister for Fo reign. Affitirs, to whom, as well as to the other Minis ters, he communicated the joyful intelligence that very probably Austria would be willing to guarantee a new Spanish Loan. Much was now made of the quondam prisoner; Gonzales gave him a dinner : the other Ministers followed his example, but as a necessary precaution, he was not presented in any official capacity. In Ole meanwhile, no doubt for a consideration, more than one capitalist got a hint of the projected loan, and were desirous of offering him their services; every communication, however, being conducted with the greatest secrecy, and the conversation held in whispers. Such, then, are the facts of this mysterious affair up to th e early part of the present month, when no suspicion rested on the impostor, and the Spanish _Ministry entertained not even a doubt of his. representations. It is needless to mention that Mr. D. is a mere adventurer, and that his mission had reference rather to the recruiting of his own finances than these of Spain, which latter his own have for some time nearly resembled in their des perate state of embarrass ynent. 12. Specifies the manner of proceeding on the sum mons of any trader by n creditor. the demand, a or upon appear- and n o t makingl3. Enacts that any trader not att en di ng such sum mons refusing to t f o lo ad laZul t deposition of belief of a good defence thereto, then and in either case not paying or compounding within a certain time to the satisfaction of the creditor, or giv ing bond to pay such sum as shall be recovered with costs, &c., shall be deemed to have committed an act of bankruptcy, &c. 14. Enacts what shall be deemed a refusal of ad mission of debt. g 15. Enacts that any trade signing a n a d m i ssion of demand and not paying or compoundin to th e satis faction of the creditor within 21 days next after the filing of such admission, shall ho deemed to have com mitted an act of bankruptcy, &c. 16: Provides for cases in which a trader shall admit a part only of the demand, &c. 17. Provides for cases of admissions of debt being signed out of Court, &c. Morning Chronicle, Dec. 21. 1841. We have had occasion to commend the extraordinary diligence and accuracy shown in getting up the " Post-office Directory" for former years, and no less praise is due to the publication of the present volume. It contains the same immense m'tss of information relative to the metropolis, which renders the work one of the most astonishing monuments of the greatness of London that can well be conceived. This information appears classified, distributed, and arranged in a variety of ways so as to make the fAcility of reference nearly perfect. The corrections necessary from the changes of a year appear, as far as it is possible to judge, to have been carefully made, and it would be difficult to over-estimate the labour involved in such corrections. We recommend it to the favourable con sideration of the public ; arid, in fact, it must be regarded as dispensable in every house, or office, where business is trans acted. To those, if there be any, wire have not seen it, it will convey the best notion of the variety of its contents to say, that the single volume of 1,500 pages contains a Streets' Directory —Trades' Directory—Law Direetory—Cit y— P ar li amentary— Courts—Postage—Banking—and Offici a l an d C onveyance work, and compl e t e i n i tse lf , t h ough publication whi c h pro f esses to b e a Directory for London. theD Directories—each i : s are each requisite a lar large a p Morning Herald. Nov, 30, Is4l. This is a most complete and extremely useful work. Item braces every point of interest in and near the metropolis that can affect the wants of the community at large, and is service able to all classes of society. Under one general head it con tains a series of Directories, in which are enumerated all the Trades, Streets, Names, Official Designations, Parliamentary, Lord Situlhope, instead of expressing sympathy with the distressed manufacturers, declared the other day, in the House of Lords, that they ought to be compelled to support the operatives, whom in prosperity of trade they had employed. Why does not his Lordship include the incumbents in his contrary declarations ? The sons of the wealthy have pensions from the State tbr a few years of easy service ; soldiers and sailors retire on half-pay, but the well-paid clergy who denounce the cruelty of the manufacturers, give little pay to their clerical ser vants whilst doing their work, and leave them, when sick or superannuated, to suffer the extreineties of po verty. lam Sir, your obedient servant, THOMAS SPENCER.

A melancholy event has happened at Romilly-sur- Seine. A forest-keeper, named Obriot, being with some corn.. panions posted in trees to watch some wild boars which had been committing devastations, had the imprudence to leave the tree in which be had placed himself, and to enter some brushwood, where the motion and noise which he occasioned led his companions to think it was a boar, and one of them hav ing fired, Obriot fell mortally wounded. He lived only long enough to pardon the error of the man who had killed him, And who was overwhelmed with grief at the misfortune. . : • , ,-.7--/_--- d , r-- ).- -- - - t--- , ----- . ----7----i..-----------,--;---; 17.--------1;'-' -- ---- --;0 , -- --- 2,---? ....0 " / . --- 5 --‘......._____.........................:_______, • - - . . . --- ' , ..„..... 5, .
