Lowe was present, and he returned thanks for his election,

though at one time opposed to household suffrage, he had

Gladstone has written to his lordship, enclosing extracts
from his Vatican pamphlets, showing that he wrote in
the very opposite sense.

Indifferent fare, but met with no ill-treatment. Once,
however, the brigands threatened to roast him alive.
This was because another band proposed to the drago-
man of the British Consulate to capture Nice, the
brigand who carried off the Colonel, and then effect an
exchange of prisoners This came to the knowledge
of the men guarding Colonel Synge, and they told him
that had the proposition been acted upon they would
have flayed him, covered him with petroleum, and
placed him over a fire.
