United States Supreme Court
80 U.S. 269
Raleigh and Gaston Railroad Company v. Reid
The only way in which the property of this company could be reached for taxation at all was after the limitation of the fifteen years had expired. The legislature was then at liberty to tax the individual shares of the stockholders, whenever their annual profits exceeded 8 per cent. When a statute limits a thing to be done in a particular mode, it includes a negative of any other mode. It was the manifest object of the legislation which incorporated this company to invite the investment of capital in the enterprise of building this road; and no means better adapted for the purpose could have been devised, short of total immunity from taxation. As long as the capital was unproductive it contributed nothing to the support of the government, and even after it became remunerative, its contribution was fixed by the terms of the charter, and could not, in any event, exceed twenty-five cents on the share of stock. The impolicy of this legislation is apparent, but there is no relief to the State, for the rights secured by the contract are protected from invasion by the Constitution of the United States.
As the pleadings show that the annual profits on the shares of stock have never reached 8 per cent., it follows that they were not subject to any public charge or tax.
JUDGMENT REVERSED, and the cause remanded for further proceedings,
IN CONFORMITY WITH THIS OPINION.

# Rajmohan's Wife/Conclusion

CONCLUSION
And now, good reader, I have brought my story to a close. Least, however, you fall to censuring me for leaving your curiosity unsatisfied, I will tell you what happened to the other persons who have figured in this tale.
The sardar successfully escaped—not so Rajmohan. He had been implicated deeply in Bhiku's confession,—was apprehended, and under the hope of a pardon confessed likewise. They were however wise by half and made only partial confessions. The pardon was revoked, and both he and Bhiku transported.
Matangini could not live under Madhav's roof. This, of course, they both understood. So intimation was sent to her father and he came and took her home. Madhav increased the pension he allowed the old man, on her account. History does not say how her life terminated, but it is known that she died an early death.
Tara mourned in solitude the terrible end of a husband who had proved himself so little worthy of her love. She lived a long widowhood in repose, and, when she died, died mourned by many.
As to Madhav, Champak and the rest, some are dead, and the others will die. Throwing this flood of light on their past and future history, I bid you, good reader, Farewell.

United States Supreme Court
80 U.S. 269
Raleigh and Gaston Railroad Company v. Reid
In the case just above adjudged and reported, the property of the railroad company could not by its charter be taxed under any circumstances. In the case of the charter of the railroad company now under consideration the exemption was limited to a term of fifteen years. After this limitation expired the legislature was at liberty to tax the individual shares of the stockholders whenever their annual profits exceeded 8 per cent., provided that the tax did not exceed twenty-five cents a share per annum. The pleadings in the case showed that the annual profits on the shares never reached 8 per cent.
Messrs. Carlisle, McPherson, and B. F. Moore, for the plaintiff in error:
It is laid down in Lord Hobart's Reports that affirmatives in statutes that introduce a new rule imply a negative of all else. Father Plowden equally declares that when a statute limits a thing to be done in a particular mode, it includes a negative of any other mode.
The tax is in violation of rules thus anciently and authoritatively laid down; rules conformed to obvious sense and justice.
Mr. W. H. Battle, contra, argued that such exemptions were so grossly impolitic that they could not be considered as legitimate exercise of legislative power.
Mr. Justice DAVIS delivered the opinion of the court.

# Protestant Exiles from France/Book First - Chapter 8 - Note

Note.
In the reign of Louis XIII. there was a French ecclesiastic whose conversion to Protestantism was attested by his admission to the ministry of the Church of England. Paul de la Ravoire was major-domo to the Archbishop of Spalato (Marco Antonio de Dominis). That prelate, whose residence was in Spalatro, in Venetian Dalmatia, had sided with the Venetians against Pope Paul V.; he resigned his archbishopric, and came to England as a professed Protestant about 1617. De la Ravoire went back to France, but, either on his late master’s account or his own, was so ill received, that he had to take refuge in England. Both the Archbishop and he himself seem to have had some diplomatic dealings with Venice in favour of England, and to the supposed disadvantage of France. All that we know about the reverend French refugee is gathered from the Calendar of English State-Papers (reign of James L). A letter from the Archbishop of Spalato to Carleton, dated 5th July 1617, “recommends Paul de la Ravoire, whose dealings with the Venetian resident have had no bad end, and who is well confirmed in the true religion.” From another letter from the same, dated Lambeth, 2d January 1618, we find that he “has not heard lately from Paul de la Ravoire, and knows not whether he be alive or dead.” In his letter dated London, 27th September 1618, he “recommends the business of the bearer, Paul de la Ravoire, and begs that he may be protected from the malice of France.” Paul de la Ravoire himself writes to Carleton from London, 28th December 1618, that “his affairs in France go so ill” as to surprise the Archbishop of Canterbury (Abbot) and other friends, “I am with Spalato, but am of no use to him, he having got another maitre-d’hôtel in my absence.”
De la Ravoire again wrote to Carleton (London, 21st August 1619), “Thanks for favours. Am lodging with the Archbishop of Spalato, and hope, by Buckingham’s favour, to get a prebend, as promised by the king.” The small preferment that he actually got is known, only through the tidings of his death. There was an official letter to the Bishop of Bangor, dated 26th September 1622, “Admit Dan. Louhet to the donative of Llandinam, vice Paul de la Ravoire, deceased.”

V. Breton.
Martin Breton is another refugee proselyte, of whom I can find nothing except the statement entered, on 19th November 1676, in the Register of the Chapel Royal in St. James’ Palace, Westminster (transcribed by Mr. J. Southerden Burn for his History of Parish Registers). The entry is as follows:—
“Monsieur Martin Breton, a priest and preacher at St. Paul’s Church at Paris, made his recantacon in the Chapell after Evening Prayer imediately before The Grace of o$^r$ L$^{d.}$ - Jesus X$^{t.}$ &c, on Nov$^{r.}$ 19, 1676. He declared his unfeigned sorrow y$^{t.}$ he had bin so long detained in the Ch. of Rome, and promis'd as long as his life should last he would bee a true Son of the Church of England. In testimony whereof he gave it under his hand openly, to the Ld. Bp. of London then Dean of the Chappell.”

Chapter VIII.
REFUGEES BEING CONVERTS FROM ROMANISM DURING THE FIRST HALF OF THE REIGN OF LOUIS XIV.
I. Breval.
Rev. Francis Durant de Breval, D.D., was a member of a monastic order, and was one of the preachers to Queen Henrietta Maria. The exact date of his conversion to Protestantism I cannot find, but he preached in the London French Church in the Savoy in October 1669. His sermon was generally applauded; but on Sunday, 17th October, the Superior of the Capuchins at Somerset House rudely assailed him, and denounced the sermon as infamous and abominable. It was therefore translated into English, and published with the title “Faith in the Just victorious over the World, a Sermon preached at the Savoy in the French Church, on Sunday, October 10, 1669, by Dr. Breval, heretofore preacher to the Queen Mother; translated into English by Dr. Du Moulin, Canon of Canterbury; London, printed for Will. Nott, and are to be sold at the Queen’s-Arms in the Pell-Mell, 1670.” The text was 1 John v. 4; and the heads of discourse were (1.) Who are those which are born of God? (2.) What victory they obtain over the world. (3.) What this faith is which makes them obtain the victory.
In or about 1670 he was made a chaplain in ordinary to the King, and one of the pasteurs of the French Church in the Savoy; he also had a diploma as Doctor of Theology. In the next year he had an opportunity of proclaiming his functions and dignities in print. Having been privileged to baptize a converted Jew publicly in ​his church, he printed the sermon which he had preached on that occasion; it was published with the title: “Le Juif Baptisé — sermon presché dans l’Eglise Francoise de la Savoye. Par Monsieur de Breval, Docteur en Theologie, Chappelain Ordinaire de Sa Majesté, et un des Pasteurs de cette Eglise. A Londres, imprimé par Thomas Niewcomb, et se vend chez Hen. Herringman, Libraire dans la Nouvelle Bourse, et chez Wil. Nott dans le vieux Mail aux Armes de la Reyne, 1671.”
In May 1671 he was made a prebendary of Rochester. On 11th February 1672 (n.s.), John Evelyn notes:— “In the afternoon that famous proselyte, Monsieur Brevall, preached at the Abbey in English extremely well, and with much eloquence; he had been a Capuchin, but much better learned than most of that order.” He was made a Prebendary of Westminster, 21st Nov. 1675, and in the same year he was, by royal command, created S. T. P. of Cambridge. He became Rector of Milton, Kent, on 12th July 1680, but continued to reside at Westminster. He died 26th January 1708 (n.s.), and was buried in Westminster Abbey. By Susanna Samoline, his wife (who died 4th July 1719, aged seventy-three), he had three sons, Theophilus, Henry, and John-Durant, and four daughters, Dorothy, Catherine, Frances, wife of Stephen Monginot Dampierre, and Mary Ann. The youngest son, known as Captain Breval, was an author of poems, and of several folio volumes of travels, well printed and illustrated. (See Chapter XIII.)

# Records of Woman: with Other Poems/The Palm-tree

THE PALM-TREE.
It wav'd not thro' an Eastern sky, Beside a fount of Araby; It was not fann'd by southern breeze In some green isle of Indian seas, Nor did its graceful shadow sleep O'er stream of Afric, lone and deep.
But fair the exil'd Palm-tree grew Midst foliage of no kindred hue; Thro' the laburnum's dropping gold Rose the light shaft of orient mould, And Europe's violets, faintly sweet, Purpled the moss-beds at its feet.
Strange look'd it there!—the willow stream'd Where silvery waters near it gleam'd; The lime-bough lured the honey-bee To murmur by the Desert's Tree, And showers of snowy roses made A lustre in its fan-like shade.
There came an eve of festal hours— Rich music fill'd that garden's bowers: Lamps, that from flowering branches hung. On sparks of dew soft colours flung, And bright forms glanc'd—a fairy show— Under the blossoms to and fro.
But one, a lone one, midst the throng, Seem'd reckless all of dance or song: He was a youth of dusky mien, Whereon the Indian sun had been, Of crested brow, and long black hair— A stranger, like the Palm-tree there.
And slowly, sadly, mov'd his plumes, Glittering athwart the leafy glooms: He pass'd the pale green olives by, Nor won the chestnut-flowers his eye; But when to that sole Palm he came, Then shot a rapture through his frame!
To him, to him, its rustling spoke, The silence of his soul it broke! It whisper'd of his own bright isle, That lit the ocean with a smile; Aye, to his ear that native tone Had something of the sea-wave's moan!
His mother's cabin home, that lay Where feathery cocoas fring'd the bay; The dashing of his brethren's oar, The conch-note heard along the shore;— All thro' his wakening bosom swept: He clasp'd his country's Tree and wept!
Oh! scorn him not!—the strength, whereby The patriot girds himself to die, Th' unconquerable power, which fills The freeman battling on his hills, These have one fountain deep and clear— The same whence gush'd that child-like tear!
