CRIMINAL COURT.-(THIS DAY.)

OLD COURT.
(Before Justices LITTLEDALE and COLERIDGE. )
MURDER.—Richard Edwards, 21, and John Woodcock, 19,
were indicted for the murder of Alexander Nance on the
high seas, on the 27th of February last, by striking him with
sticks, ropes, &c., and by putting a rope round his neck and
dragging him through the sea.
Mr. ADOLPIIUS stated the case to the Jury. The former
prisoner was captain of a small vessel, which traded between
this country and St. Michael's ; the other prisoner was the
mate. They carried only the deceased boy and one sailor,
and on the voyage in question a poor man was put on board
by the British Consul. Those two were the witnesses whom
he would call to prove a case of more barbarity than he had
ever heard. He called

Jeremiah Sullivan, who deposed that the prisoners at the
bar acted as Captain and Mate of the ship Ada, which ,sailed
from St. Michael's on the 23d of February last. There were
altogether six persons on board, including the boy who
was killed—he was sixteen years of age, or thereabouts.
The boy was in good health when he sailed, but much
disfigured about the face and skin. He acted as cook
and cabin boy. The prisoners ill-used the boy all along,
by beating him with ropes, throwing blocks at him, and
towing him overboard. On the morning of the 27th Fe-
bruary, witness took the wheel at eight o'clock. The pri-
soner went down to breakfast in the cabin. The Mate re-
lieved him, and he went forward to the galley and found his
coffee-kettle half empty. Witness told the Captain that the
boy had either drunk the coffee, or allowed it to boil over.
The Captain said, " That is a good towing overboard for you,
my man." The Captain took a handspike from the windlass. He
went forward with his kettle, and while at breakfast, he heard the
boy screeching dreadfully. He looked through the skylight,
and saw the boy hanging up at the gaff with his feet up and
his head down. The captain and mate were on deck, and an-
other man, but be did not know which. Witness .finished
his breakfast, and then went on deck. The boy was still hang-
ing in the same position, and from the motion of the vessel
his head came against the hoops and sail. The boy, by his own
strength got the rope over his legs, and got his head upwards.
He had been hanging with his head downwards for about
10 minutes. They were then in a warm latitude. Harley, the
other sailor, then lowered him down. The mate sung out
to Harley to let the boy lower himself down. When he was
lowering himself, either the Captain or Mate ordered him to
let go the rope ; had he done so, he would have fallen and
been killed. He did not let it go, but when he was near the
deck the Mate took the boy and put him over the side into
the water. The Captain was on deck. On going over
the side the boy held on by the gunnel of the vessel,
trying to save himself. The Mate then went over the side
and kicked him into the water. He remained there about
five minutes, as near as he could judge. The ship was
going about three or four knots an hour. When the boy wa.;
taken up, the mate threw three or four buckets of water at
him while he was in the shrouds. Witness left the deck for
about five minutes, and when lie returned:on deck he saw the
boy lashed, with a rope yarn on the arms and legs, to the fore
rigging. He called upon witness to take him down. He
(witness) told the Captain it was a shame for him to keep the
boy up there. He said it was none of his business. He
told him in the way the boy was disfigured; when they got to
Falmouth some of the gentlemen there might play with
him ; he answered, " What do I care for them ?" and ordered
the witness to go and get the dinner ready. The boy was
still in the rigging, and lie was there about an hour. Blood
was dropping from the boy's legs and face, and dropped on the
galley ; and he told them that he would not go and -get the
dinner ready, for he would not come under the boy's blood. The
mate took the bellows from him, and told him to go to bed in
derision. The boy was still calling upon witness to take him
down, but the mate said, and it was repeated by the Captain,
that he must remain there until lie sung either a song or a
hymn. They boy sung the Sailor's Hymn, and the mate then
gave witness his knife to go and release the boy, which he did.
The captain told him to take off the trowsers he had on when
in the water. He did so, and took his breakfast with the bed
clothes around him. Harley carne up, and gave him a drop
of rum. The captain covered him with the clothes, and told
him to go to sleep. After dinner, the mate said to the
captain, we will wake him now, and have a bit of a lark with
him. When he got up, the boy went about the decks foolish or
staggering. He could not have drank more than one-third of
a glass of rum, as the man held it in his hand, arid did not let
him take much. He had only two shirts of his own. He had
a good jacket and trowsers, but the prisoners would not let
him wear them lecause he had thrown away his old ones. He
was staggering about the deck, and could not see out of one
eye. Witness had two or three rope-yarns in his hand to
frighten him from the fire ; he was quite foolish, and witness had
never seen him so before. The Captain told him to go and clean
the binnacle lamp and sconce for the candle. The Captain
smelt burning-, and sent him forward to the fire, where he
found the bucket placed close by the fire, and the paint all
blistering. It was placed there by the boy, because he did
not know what lie was doing. When he found the boy, he
found that be had dirtied himself, and was sitting in it. Wit-
ness called the Captain, who said, " That is a good towing
overboard, my man, for you." He then put him down
to the lee-side, and made the brace fast round the boy's
waist, and called witness to assist him in putting him over
the side. Witness refused ; but the boy was put over, and
kept in the water about ten minutes. Before he was taken
out he was foaming at the mouth, and the whites of his eyes
were turned up. Witneis was at the weather side, and heard
the captain singing out for some one to assist him in ,taking
in the boy, and the passenger came on deck and helped him.
It was witness's turn at the wheel from four to six—all
which time the boy was lying on the deck, and could nei-
ther speak nor stand. The mate made him stand up, but
he fell again immediately. The mate seized a mop, and
beat him with it until the handle came off. The
Captain was standing by crying out, "give it him, give it
him." The mate continued to beat him over the face, jaws,
and back, saying " You b— I will kill you before you get
home yet." The mate took him by the leg and dragged him
forward. Witness saw him again lying across the windlass
bits, groaning heavily. The mate said " I hope that will be
the last groaning and sleeping you will have on board this
vessel. About eight o'clock when witness again came up, the
boy was lying in the same state as before. Then he said to the
Captain—"'That boy is in a bad state, he is nearly dead."
The Captain said, " Why don't you go and cover him." Wit-
ness then went forward, and put him in his bed. He could
not answer him, and he was as cold as ice all over. The rattles
were in his throat. He went to the mate and said, "He is
tone for," meaning that he was dead. The captain heard him
from the cabin. He went forward again, and thought the boy
was getting a little warmer in the skin, and told the mate so.
The mate told him to put a dry shirt upon him. While he
was doing so, the passenger came up and said the boy was dead,
and at the moment he drew his last breath. ' He informed
the mate of it ; he came forward, and, the corpse was put down
in the forecastle and covered. Witness went to the Captain
in the cabin and told him the boy was dead. Ha said he
hoped he would recover again. At midnight the mate or-
dered him to take up the corpse, as they would not sleep along
with it. Witness refused, as he had not the heart to do it. The
mate and the passenger brought it up, and it lay till 10 o'clock
next day, when it was thrown overboard by the passenger and
Harley. A lump of coal was tied to the legs to sink it. The
passenger refused, till tire Captain read a chapter in the Bible
over him, which was done. All this took place on the deep sea,
and riot in sight of land. The passenger went first before the
Mayor. Next day the Captain said he had a great mind to
put the vessel before the wind, and put to sea. The Captain
sent witness and Harley on shore, to tell the passenger to
come on board. He refused, and the Captain went on shore
to him, and said, " You will ruin me;" to which the passen-
ger said, "It was no more than should be done." They
walked about for some time, and the Captain, when close
to witness, offered the passenger a sovereign. It was refused.
Witness said " Give me the sovereign, perhaps he will take it
from me." He did so, and offered it again-to the passenger,
saying, " Here, Tom, if the Captain will not allow you the
sovereign I will myself." The Captain said he would give
another sovereign on the mate's behalf. The passenger was
sent home by the Consul, as he had been cast away on the
Western Islands, and was very poor.
The witness underwent a long cross-examination by Mr.
PHILLIPS, who (along with Mr. Clarkson) appeared for the
prisoners. Nothing material was elicited which shook the
evidence in chief. The cross-examination was not concluded
when our Reporter left.

NEW COURT.
(Before the COMMON SERJRANT)

The Court was occupied this morning with the trial of Mint
cases, and the following prisoners were severally convicted of
having in their possession or uttering counterfeit coin :
William Calpe, Noah Aaron, and Harriet Taylor, Henry
Clarke, George Parker, George Jones, and Mary Richardson,
Thomas Harvey, John Nelson, Catherine Connell, James
Donovan, and Mary Flanagan. None of the cases were pos-
sessed of the slightest interest.

Lord Denman has been passing the Easter holydays
at his seat in Derbyshire.
The young Duke of Roxburgh, on attaining his
majority, on the 16th July next, will come into the possession
of an unencumbered estate of 16,0001. per:annum ; his Grace,
will, however, eventually inherit the extensive estates of his
relative, Mary, Dowager Duchess of Roxburgh, relict of Wil-
liam, fourth Duke, and re-married to the late Hon. John Tolle-
mache. The estates bequeathed to the Duchess by the fourth
Duke, who died in 1805, are of the estimated value of 12,000/.
per annum, which will descend to the present Duke on her de-
cease. The Dukedom of Roxburgh was in abeyance from
1805 to 1812, when the titles were decreed to Sir James
limes, father of the present Duke, son and heir of Sir Harry
Innes, Bart.

ABEL ALLNUTT, BY THE AUTHOR OF
" 11.1JJI BABAV,—What next ? Is not the author of " Hajji
Uaba " satisfied with giving us the most perfect and entertain-
ing: picture of the East and Oriental feelings, customs, and
manners, that he must break into the preserves of the best de-
scribers of English characters and society. Abel Al/nut, his
new story, is more near to the " Vicar of Wakefield" than
any novel we can call to mind since the epoch of
that, the first of its class. The story is of a good
and simple family, the Allnuts, brought to ruin by a
speculative and projecting head, and the failure of a joint-
stock bubble. The first volume paints them in a sweet coun-
try retreat ; the second in London, in jeopardy and wretched-
ness ; and the last, with some incidental notes of foreign
travel, winds up the tangled web. In all there are original
and well-conceived characters; and sketches of circumstances
sufficiently of the world to be likely and natural, and yet so
wrought as to possess the interest we expect from imagination.
We most heartily recommend " Abel Allnutt" to the public."

LITERATURE.

MODERN INDIA. 4 Vols.
Whittaker, London, 1837.

Many portions of this work read more like romance
than reality ; if however the facts stated by the author,
Dr. Spry, be authentic, then we can only shrug our
shoulders, and exclaim with Lord Byron, " truth is
strange, stranger than fiction." It is but very recently
that we became aware of the existence of the Thugs in
India ; and 10, here, is another marvel, being neither
more nor less than the discovery, in the eastern part of
Bengal, of a race of native Cannibals who live, like
squirrels, in the trees I We subjoin Dr. Spry's sketch
of these unaccountable vagabonds :

" The pursuit of wild elephants, among the blue mountains,
in the direction of Ave, has brought us acquainted with a race
of Cannibals scarcely to be distinguished from the monkeys
with which they herd. The Kokees, as these brutal wretches
are called, have, according to the account afforded me by
Major Gairdner, protuberant bellies; they are low in stature,
with set features, and muscular limbs. They speak a dialect
peculiar to themselves, and build their villages on the boughs
of the forest trees. They do not appear to have any settled
abiding place, but wander in herds from one wilderness to ano-
ther. When a site favourable to their purpose has been found,
the whole community immediately set to work to collect bam-
boos and branches of trees, which are afterwards fashioned into
platforms, and placed across the lofty boughs of the diffe,rot
trees. On this foundation the rude grass superstructure is
raised which forms the hut. When these sheds are completed,
and every family provided with a habitation, the women and
children are taken into their aerial abodes. The men then lop
off all the branches within reach of the ground, and having
constructed for themselves a rough ladder of bamboos, they as-
cend the trees by means of this rude stair-case, drawing it up
after them to prevent the intrusion of strangers, and a neces-
sary precaution against the encroachments of their four-footed
companions of the forest. In this manner they repose, floating
in the branches, and cradled by the wind, partaking more of
the savage ferocity of brutes than the milder charities of men."'

This is nearly.as astounding as Gulliver's account
of the flying islanders. A whole village swinging in
the wind, among the branches of forest trees T. We
have often heard tell of the discovery of a " mare's
nest," but the discovery of a man's nest is more
startling still. A day's shooting among these forests
would be capital sport for a phila►►thropist ; for he
would not put up his game by covies, but by villages.
Conceive him bagging half a hamlet of black, unfea-
thered rooks ; and sending a brace or two to some par-
ticular sporting acquaintance in Bengal I But not only
do these Kookees reside in trees, but they are also Can-
nibals of the first water. The haunch or sirloin of a
fat Sepoy is a delicacy of which they are as fond, as
ever was Sir William Curtis of turtle soup. " They
openly boast," says Dr. Spry,
" Of their feats of cannibalism, showing with the strongest
expressions of satisfaction, the bones of their fellow-creatures
who have fallen a prey to their horrible appetites. So intent
are they in their search after human flesh, that the superin-
tendent was always obliged to send out the men employed in
hunting the elephants armed with muskets, and in not fewer
than parties of ten. One poor man they unfortunately caught
while off his guard, and devoured him, almost before his life-
blood had congealed in his veins. Attempts have been made
to subdue and civilize these people, and one of their head men
was won over, and employed by Major Gairdner at the elephant
depot, but he could not be induced to relinquish his old habits.
In a short time he was detected in the commission of a murder,
and was executed by the civil authorities of Chittagong. These
people, strange as it may appear, are living within 150 miles
of Calcutta, the metropolis of British India and the seat of Go-
vernment, and yet their existence even is scarcely known by the
people who are not in authority, comparatively little informl-
tion from the woods and jungles 9f the savage portions of Ben-
gal finding its way to the Calcutta newspapers."

As this account of the Kookees appears well authen-
ticated, we suppose we must place faith in it ; we must
honestly confess however, that it is, without exception,
the toughest mouthful we ever swallowed. There are
many other curious particulars in Dr. Spry's book,
which is full of incident, and shows the author to be a
shrewd, enterprising, and inquisitive traveller.

WORDSWORTH'S POEMS. VOL. V. VI.
Moxon, London, 1837.

In this cheap, commodious, and elegant edition,
we have all Mr. Wordsworth's poetical works, including
even the " Excursion," which the Edinburgh Review,
it may be remembered, declared, many years since,
" would never do." How utterly fallacious was that
opinion, is here proved by the republication of that
poem. The great merit of the " Excursion" is that it
sets its readers thinking. It feeds their minds ; and
the nutriment it affords is of the most wholesome
kind. It has no incident or melodramatic sur-
prises ; nothing of an ad captandum character ;
but appeals solely to the unclouded reason. The lan-
guage is occasionally verbose and inflated ; and the
ideas abstruse, but they are always worth pondering
upon. But it is in his sonnets that Mr. Wordsworth
most excels. Here he is in his element, and frequently
comprises within the short compass of fourteen lines
more subtle and profound thought than is to be found
in volumes.

" Whose mind is but the mind of his own eyes,
He is a slave, the meanest we can meet,"
is but one impressive idea in a sonnet, whose every
line is a pearl of inestimable value.

EVENINGS WITH CAMBACERES. Vor. I.
Colburn, London; 1837.

Prince Cambaceres was, it is well known, high in
favour with Napoleon during the palmy days of the
empire. Though he never ranked very high as a
statesman, yet he did much to promote his master's
interests by his conciliatory manners, his festive tem-
perament, and more especially, by the capital table he
kept. Cambaceres knew well the importance of a
good dinner, and gained many adherents to the Em-
peror, solely by his exemplary sauces, one of which
was pronounced by a competent judge to be so super-
lative, that a man might eat his own grandmother
with it The present volume contains some of
the Prince's recollections of Napoleon, and of those
frightful characters who figured during the Reign of
Terror. The anecdotes are for the most part new,
and full of the deepest interest, for they refer to the
chief actors during a period that the world will never
forget, or ever recall without a shudder. Cambaceres
is a capital story-teller ; he hits it off with infinite unc-
tion, in the most sententious and epigrammatic manner.
In the volume before us, Napoleon, who is his great
hero, figures to considerable advantage, as the follow-
ing anecdote will show. The work is full of such,
and contains, besides, many revelations little inferior
in interest to those contained in the famous << Voice
from St. Helena."

" Count d'Orsenne one day accompanied the Emperor on
a reconoitering excursion. The Emperor had been complain-
ing of thirst, and some one seeing a vivandiere, or suttler-
woman, at a little distance, called to her. The woman did
not know Napoleon, or any of his escort. She gave the Em-
peror a glass of spring water mixed with a little brandy, and
then curtsied for payment.
" There, my good woman„ said Napoleon, pointing to
Count d'Orsenne, 'there is the Emperor, ask him for the
money. He pays for us all.'

" 'the vivarictiere blushed, and looked embarrassed ; then,
turning to the Count, she scanned his splendid uniform with
the eye of a connoisseur, and said :
" ' He I pooh nonsense ! Do you think I am fool enough to
believe that. The Emperor is not such a coxcomb. You,
Sir, look much more like him yourself.'
" The Emperor was much amused at this remark, and he
gave the woman a double louis.

" Count Daru, who was one of the party on the evening
when Prince Cambaceres related the above anecdote said :
" Your amusing story, Monseigneur, reminds me of another
also relating to one of those camp-following nymphs, called
vivandieres. You know how carefully the Emperor preserved
his incognito when he was with the army. It was well that he
did so ; for he frequently ventured into places where, had he
been known, he would have incurred the greatest risks. Du-
ring one of the campaigns in Germany, the Emperor, wrapped
in his celebrated grey great coat, was riding about in the en-
virons of Munich, attended only by two orderly officers. Ile
met on the road a very pretty looking female, who, by her
dress, was evidently a vivandiere. She was weeping and was
leading, by the hand, a little boy, about five years of age.
Struck by the beauty of the woman and her distress, the Em-
peror pulled up his horse by the road-side, and said :
What is the matter with you, my dear ?'
" The woman, not knowing the individual by whom she was
addressed, and being much discomposed by grief, made no re-
ply. The little boy, however, was mere communicative, and
he frankly answered :
" ' My mother is crying, Sir, because my father has beat
her.'

Where is your father ?'
" Close by here. He is one of the sentinels on duty with
the baggage.'
" The Emperor again addressed himself to the woman and

inquired the name of her husband ; but she refused to tell, be-
ing fearful lest the Captain, as she supposed the Emperor to
be, would cause her husband to be punished. Napoleon, I
am sorry to say, had but little confidence in the fair sex. On
this occasion, his habitual suspicions occurred to his mind,
and he said :

" Malpeste your husband has been beating you ; you are
weeping, and yet you are so afraid of getting him into trouble
that you will not even tell me his name. This is very in-
consistent ! May it not be that you are a little in fault your-
self?'

" Alas, Captain ! he has a thousand good qualities, though
he has one very bad one—he is jealous—terribly jealous ; and
when he gets into a passion, he cannot restrain his violence.'
" But that is rather serious; in one of his fits of jealousy,
he may inflict on you some some severe injury—perhaps
kill you.'
" And, even if he did, I should not wish any harm to come
to him ; for lam sure he would not do it wilfully. He loves
me too well for that.'

And, if I guess rightly, you love him.'
4" That is very natural, Captain; he is my lawful husband
and the father of my dear boy

" So saying, she fondly kissed her child, who, by the way
in which he returned her caresses, proved his affection for hit
mother. Napoleon was moved by this touching picture, it
spite of the heart of iron, of marble, or of adamant, which htu
so often been allotted to him.

♦Nell' said he, again turning to the woman, whether you
and your husband love each other or not, I do not chose that
he should beat you—l am—l am one of the Emperor's aides-
de-camp, and I will mention the affair to his Majesty—tell MI
your husband's name 1'
" ' If you were the Emperor himself, I would not tell it you
for I know he would be punished.'
" Silly woman ! All I want is to teach him to behave wet
to you, and to treat you with the respect you deserve.'
That would make me very happy, Captain ; but, thougl
he ill treats me, I will not get him punished.'
The Emperor shrugged his shoulders, made some remarl
upon female obstinacy, and galloped off.
" When he was out of the woman's hearing, he said to th,
officers who accompanied him :
" Well, gentlemen 1 what do you think of that affectionate
creature ? There are not many such women at the Tuileries
A wife like that is a treasure to her husband.'

" In the course of a few minutes, the baggage, of which thi
boy had spoken came up. It was escorted by a company c
the 52nd. Napoleon despatched one of the officers, who wa
riding with him, to desire the commander of the escort to corn,
to him.

" ' Have you a vivandiere in your company ?'
" Yes, Sire,' replied the Captain.
" ' Has she a child ?'
" Yes, little Gentil, whom we are all so fond of.'
" Has not the woman been beaten by her husband?
" ' I was not aware of the circumstance, till sometime afte
its occurrence. I have reprimanded the man.'
" Is he generally well conducted ?'
" He is the best behaved man in the company. He is ver:
jealous of his wife, but without reason. The woman's conduc
is irreproachable.'
" Does he know me by sight ?'
." I cannot say, Sire—but, as he has just arrived from Spain
I think it is probable he does not.'
"' Try and ascertain whether he has ever seen me, and i
he has not, bring him hither. Say you wish to conduct him be
fore the General of the division.'

" On inquiry, it appeared that Napoleon had never bees
seen by the grenadier, who was a very fine looking man
about five and twenty. When ho was conducted to Napoleon
the latter said in a familiar tone :

" What is the reason, my lad, that you beat your wife:
She is a young and pretty woman ; and is a better wife that
you are a husband. Such conduct is disgraceful in a Frenel
grenadier.'

" Bah, General ! if women are to be believed, they are
never in the wrong. I have forbidden my wife to talk to an;
man whatever ; and yet, in spite of my commands, I find he
constantly gossiping with one or other of my comrades.'
" Now, there is your mistake. You want to prevent
woman from talking—you might as well try to turn the course
of the Danube. Take my advice; do not be jealous. Le
your wife gossip and be merry. If she were doing wrong, i
is likely she would be sad instead of gay. Your comrades ar
not absolutely capuchins ; but I am much mistaken if they wil
not respect another man's wife. I desire that you do no
strike your wife again ; and, if my order be not obeyed, th
Emperor shall hear of it. Suppose his Majesty were to give
you a reprimand, what would you say then ?'
" Ma foi 1 General, my wife is mine, and I may beat he
if I choose. I should say to the Emperor : Sire, look you t,
the enemy, and leave me to manage my wife.'
" Napoleon laughed, and said : My good fellow, you ar
now speaking to the Emperor.'
" The word produced its usual magical effect. The grena
dier looked confused, held down his head, lowered his voice
and said :

" Oh, Sire that quite alters the case. Since your Ma
jesty commands, I of course obey.'
" That's right. I hear an excellent character of your wife
Every body speaks well of her. She braved my displeasure
rather than expose you to punishment. Reward her by kini
treatment. I promote you to the rank of sergeant, and, wh!
you arrive at Munich, apply to the Grand Marechal du Palai
and he will present you with four hundred francs. With ths
you may buy a settler's caravan, which will enable your wif
to carry on a profitable business. Your son is a fine boy, an
and at some future time he shall be provided for. But mind
never let me hear of your beating your wife again. If Idc
you shall find that I can deal hard blows as well as you.'
" Ah, Sire ! I can never be sufficiently grateful for yen
kindness.'

" Two or three years after this circumstance, the Ernpere
was with the army in another campaign. Napoleon, yo
know, has a wonderful power of recollecting the countenance
of persons whom he has once seen. On one of bis marche
he met and recognised the vivandiere and her son. Ho im
mediately rode up to her, saying :
" Well, my good woman, how do you do ? Has your hus
band kept the promise lie made to me ?'
" The poor woman burst into tears, and threw herself
he Emperor's feet.

'6 Oh, Sire Oh, Sire Since my good star led me int
the gracious presence of your Majesty, I have been the hal
piest of women.'
" ' Then reward me by being the most virtuous of wives.'
" A few pieces of gold were presented with these words
and, as Napoleon rode off, the cries of ' vive l'Empereur P ul
tered amidst tears and sobs by the mother and her son, were et
thusiastically repeated by the whole battalion.

LARDNER'S CYCLOFIEDIA. No. 89.
Longman, London, 1837.

The present Number of this Miscellany forms tl
fourth volume of the Lives of the most eminent foreig
Statesmen. It is the production of Mr. James, Or
of the most indefatigable writers of the day ; and amon
other memoirs, contains one of Cardinal Alberon
which is penned in a discriminating and impartig
spirit. On the character of the famous Duke de Rill
perda, Mr. James is, we think, unnecessarily sever(
especially when he charges him with " want of grail
deur and comprehensiveness of mind." That he se
crificed principle to ambition, is true ; true also that h
was apt to be " dishonest in his promises ;" but hi
intellect was of the highest order, and his politic')
views far-sighted to a degree, nearly equal to those °
Colbert. Had Ripperda's sense of honour been aqua
to his sagacity, he would have been the most influen
tial, as he was the most notorious, public character 0
his age and country.
