tnd interfering with the business ; and the only an-
mei' he would give was, that he si )een placed
there by Mr. Henry Greare, who It . we. 11 as his
attorney, he he expected e/ nNnont. He
(Mr. Evitt) waited from six o'clock until near ten
o'clock, and finding that neither, Mr. Greare nor his
attorney appeared, he recommended Mrs. Greare to
call in a policeman and give the defendant into cus-
tody, which she did. Mr. Evitt added, that while at
the station-house he had been informed that Mr.
George Greare was confined in a lunatic asylum at
Stoke Newington, though no notice had been served
of the fact, as required by Act of Parliament.

INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT, Sept. 29.

IN RE JOHN lIIGGENS.
The insolvent, who had been frequently heard be.
fore, and the particulars of the case reported in The
Sun, had carried on an extensive business as an engi-
neer at Lambeth. He now appeared in Court to re-
ceive judgment.
The Learned CRIEP COMMISSIONER said the insol-
vent's conduct was such as to bring him within the
operation of the Act of Parliament in numerous
ways ; he had most fraudulently made away with
property to the detriment of his creditors, besides
being guilty of various other specific offences; the
judgment of the Court, therefore, was that he be
remanded at the suit of one 'or more of his creditors
for the period of eleven calendar months from the date
of his vesting order.

The defendent,in reply to the. charge, said, that on
the evening of Wednesday fortnight he was sent for
by Mr. Henry Greare, who had been acquainted with
his family for many years, and on going to the Globe
and Friends public-house, he found Mr. H. Greare,
his brother Charles, his sister, and other members of
the family there. Mr. Greare informed him that
Mrs. Greare, the present complainant, had absconded
from her home on the previous morning in company
with a common prostitute who lived next door, taking
with her the whole of her clothes and other property.
Mr. Greare also informed him that his brother had
waited up to past two o'clock on the following morn-
ing, expecting every moment that she would return,
but finding that she had not he became very much
affected by her absence, and drank to such an excess
that he abandoned his home, leaving it merely to
the care of a little girl. At the urgent request of the
family he went to several places in the hope of being
able to find Mr. G. Greare, but was unable to do so,
and serious apprehensions were at the time enter-
tained that he had laid violent hands upon himself.
On that night, (Wednesday fortnight) he, by the
desire of Mr. H. Greare and his brother, took charge
of the house, there being no person there at the time
but a girl, who was afraid to stop there alone. He
continued there until last Monday, when Mrs. Greare
made her appearance, and, representing herself as the
wife of Mr. G. Greare, and entitled to manage the
business, he sent for Mr. 11. Greare. On his arrival,
and seeing the complainant, he expressed his surprise
that she should show her face after the manner she
had treated his brother, and at such a time, and de-
sired him (the defendant) to remain there to take care
of the business as before. In consequence of this
direction he remained until Le was given into custody.
In reply to a question of Mr. NORTON, the defendant
said he did not know of his own knowledge where
Mr. G. Greare was. He, however, acknowledged.

IN RE RICHARD SPRAGG.
The insolvent, who had been in the employment of
Mr. Matthew, the eminent practitioner at the Chan-
cery bar, was opposed by Mr. Cooke, on behalf of the
legatees of a lady named Todd.
It appeared, from the very length ened evidence ad-
duced, that Todd died in 1835, appointing the in-
solvent trustee to a bequest in favour of her grand-
children, being a certain annual income, which he
was to invest in the Long Annuities until they came
of age. He, fulfilled his trust faithfully until 1837,
when he appropriated the tnoneys to his own use. A
bill was then filed in Cheneery, to which he put in
an answer, to the effect iitta severe domestic misfor-
tune and affliction induced his breach of trust.

Mr. Commissioner REYNOLDS said, that although
the answer might very slightly palliate his conduct,
yet it was such as would induce the most stringent
application of the 78th section of the Act. The Court,
therefore, ordered him to be ro:nanded for twelve
months from the date of his vesting order, for a frau-
dulent breach of trust.

scription for the cure at home according to the case.

The particulars of the case have already been de-
tailed.

Yesterday, on the prisoner being placed at the bar,
Mrs. Bourke made her appearance in a very weakly
condition. When the officer presented the New Tes-
tament, in order to administer the usual oath, she
declined taking it, saying that it was her duty to look
to the prisoner and her children and protect them.
She forgave him for what he had done to her from the
bottom of her heart and soul, and she did not wish to
hurt him. She would not be sworn to give evidence
against him, adding—" I hope God will forgive him
as well as myself."
Mr. GREENWOOD told her that she might forgive
him, but the law would not, for such a violent out-
rage. If she refused to give her evidence, they must
try and get it as well as they could from others. He
should certainly send her to prison if she persisted in
her refusal to be sworn to give evidence, for the pur-
pose of detaining her, and insuring her attendance at
the trial.
She then consented to be sworn, to hear her depo-
sition read over as taken at the former examination ;
and on its being read by the clerk,
Mr. GREENWOOD asked her whether it was all
right ? She replied, faintly, "It is all right."
Mr. GREENWOOD ordered the clerk to set that down
in the deposition.

THE CZARINA. BY Mits. HoFLAND.—In this his-
torical romance Mrs. Hofland has presented a striking
instance of events of real life, competing in interest,
with the most imaginative conceptions of fiction. The
leading incidents of her narrative are derived from
the authentic memorials of the strange, eventful
mutations of fortune in the career of the celebrated
Prince Menziltoff, who, born of obscure parentage,
became the favourite Minister of Peter the Great,...
and subsequently of the Empress Catherine, whose
daughter was betrothed to the young Emperor, Peter
the Second, and who, with all his family, including
the Czariaa, was abruptly hurled from this summit of
earthly grandeur to perish in the lowest depths of
Siberian servitude. Mrs. Holland has faithfully ad-
hered to the general outline of this historical tragedy,
and for the purposes of her tale has filled up its de-
tails as suggested by, her fancy with much judgment,
consistency, and vraisemblance. The "daughter of
Menzikoff, the Czarina, is, however, her more pro-
minent figure, and is drawn with equal delicacy and
feeling. Mrs. Hofland has availed herself skilfully of
the historic material for her work, and in that portion
of it which is purely her own has fairly emulated the
touching pathos of Madame Cottin's " Elizabeth."--
Morning Herald.
" The eighth plague," said Dr. Johnson, " is the
gout ; and that man who discovers a medicine to alle-
viate its torment deserves well of his country ; but he
who can effect a cure, should have a monument erected to
his memory as high as St. Paul's, as wide as the Thames,
and as lasting as time." This desideratum (happily) has
now been accomplished ; and it must afford unspeakable
satisfaction to those who are afflicted with Gout, Rhet-

Whilst the prisoner was at the bar, he was seen to
hand a letter to a woman behind, which was taken
from her by Waddington and handed to Mr. Green-
wood. It was directed to " Richard Bourke, No. 9,
Hamley-buildings, Bristol, England," and purported
to come from Thomas Mulloney,
a priest, from Drom,
dated 14th Feb., 1835, and to be a freedom fbr mar-
riage in the usual (Irish) way, desiring him to hand
it to his worthy pastor.
Mr. GREENWOOD reminded Mrs. Bourke of the ill-
treatment she hal so frequently received from the pri-
soner, and that on one occasion, when she was almost
killed under similar circumstances by the prisoner,
and he fined the extreme penalty of 51., she was silly
enough to pay the fine for him.
The prisoner was now fully committed for trial.
LAMBETH-STREET.
Yesterday Ebenezer Cheeserent was brought
before the Hon. G. C. Norton under the following
extraordinary circumstances :
Mr. Thomas Evitt, a solicitor, of Haydon-square,
Alinories, who attended for the prosecution, after
stating the nature of the charge against the prisoner,
called

Mrs. Greare, a well-dressed young woman, who
deposed that on the 9th of June last she was married
at Whitechapel Church to her present husband, Mr.
George Greare, and that previous to her marriage she
had been for some years housekeeper to a highly-
respectable tradesman in High-street, Whitechapel.
Immediately after their marriage her husband took
the Globe and Friends public-house, in Morgan-
street, Commercial-road, East, and three weeks ago
she received his sanction to visit her friends near
Sheffield, in Yorkshire. On Monday morning last
she returned to town, and on going to

and
property, and had sent
her husband to a lunatic asylum. Finding. the
prisoner in possession of the house, and ap-
parently managing the business, she asked him
by what authority lie was there, and he replied
his own. She -then told him tiat she was the
lawful wife of Mr. George Greare, and should insist
upon stopping there and managing the business. The
prisoner indifferently replied that lie had nothing to
do with that ; that he had been pla,:ed in the house
to attend to the business by Mr. Henry Greare, and
there he should remain. Shortly afterwards Mr
Henry Greare came to the house and began to abuse
her, and said she had no right there. At this moment
a man asked her for a_pint of beer, and as she was
about to draw it, Mr. Henry Greare pushed her away
from the engine, and told her she had no business
there—that he had made himself responsible after she
had left the house to the brewer and distiller. She
however told him she should remain, and subsequently
ordered the prisoner out of the house, but he refused
to go. She asked him what had become of her hus-
band, and he replied he did not know. She also
asked her brother•in-law, Mr. Henry Greare, where
her husband was, or what they had done with him,
and his reply was, that she should never see him
again. On the day before she consulted Mr. Evitt,
wo came to her house, and by his desire she gave the
prisoner into the custody of a policeman.
In reply to the questions of the Magistrates, Mrs.
Greare said the prisoner had offered no violence to
her, but persisted, contrary to her wishes, stopping in
the house and interfering with her business, by draw-
ing beer and spirits and receiving money for it. The
witness also said her husband had not; to her know-
ledge, exhibited the slightest indication Of insanity,
but when under the influence of drink 'he
was
lima,
flighty and talkative, hut not more so than' other men
when under similar influences.
Mr. Evitt being sworn, stated that on going to the
house and findii:g the prisoner there, he asked him
once or twice foe authority for being in the house

that Mr. H. Greare informed him that on the night
of Wednesday fortnight, upon leaving her, and getting
into an omnibus in the Commercial-road, his brother
George subsequently got into the same vehicle, and
instantly fell in a state of insensibility on the seat.
Mrs. Greare denied most solemnly the accusation
made against her, and said she had the full permission
of her husband to visit her friends. She also said,

in reply to her solicitor, that her husband, upon
taking the house, had placed in the hands of his bro-
ther Henry upwards of 50!., for which he received his
I. 0. U. This document was placed in a chest, with
the brewers' and distillers' books and writings of im-
portance; and this box Mr. Henry Greaxe had re-
moved from her house.

Mr. Evitt assured the Magistrate that the character
of his client had been grossly traduced; for that from
all the inquiries he had made, he believed her to be a
most respectable wcman.
The prisoner was remanded for a week, but was
admitted to bail.

A friend of Mr. 11. Greare said he was too unwell
to attend on that day, but would be present on the
next, to give the fullest explanation of his conduct.

THAMES-POLICE.

Yesterday Mr. T. Vickers, the chief math of the
Thomas Lee, East Indiaman, appeared before Mr.
Ballantine to answer a charga of assaulting Joseph
Gabble, an apprentice boy, dur:ng the outward voyage
to Singapore.
The boy detailed a series of . assaults committed
upon him by the mate. On the 11th of last December
the boy was sent up to varnish the masts, and he
dropped some of the varnish on the deck, whereupon
the math beat him severely with a rope's end. On
the 18th of the same month the lad was at the wheel
steering, as close as the squally weather permitted
him, when the mate came to him, and said he was
two points out of his course, and struck him a violent
blow on the face and broke his nose. The mate beat
him almost every day, and on one occasion beat him
over the head and stunned him. Sometimes he was
kicked from one end of the deck to the other, and
knocked down and was rendered at last so completely
miserable by the tyranny of the mate, that lie ran
away from the ship at Singapore, and joined another,
the William Stewart Hamilton, in which he came home
to London, and arrived here at the same time as the
Thomas Lee. _

A witness confirmed the statement of the coin
plainant, and said the mate used him very badly indeed.
The mate, in defence, said the boy was very saucy
when he spoke to him at the wheel, and he gave him
a slap of the face, which made his nose bleed, but did
not break it. He never chastised the boy except wilt. n
it was absolutely necessary, and then not unmercifully.
Mr. BALLANTINE asked the complainant's witness,
if there was a scar on the boy's nose when he joined
the ship ?
The witness replied in the negative, and said that
Gabble complained that his nose was broken by the
mate, and it bled very much.
Mr. BALLANTINE was of opinion the boy had been
used very cruelly, and harassed and made so uncom-
fortable that he was glad to escape from the tyranny
of an unfeeling man. He heard of these things aim( st
daily, and the tyranny and cruelty of those intrusted
with a little power on board ship, and who did not
know how to use it, either drove seamen to make re-
sistance, which was mutiny, or else to leave the ship
and forfeit their wages. If the present laws were not
sufficient to protect seamen and boys from such out-
rages, others more stringent would be passed, for
public feeling would not allow such harshness to be
exercised on board merchant-vessels. The defendant
had no right to strike the boy at all. If he had mis-
conducted himself, a complaint should have been made
to the Captain, who might, if the circumstances de-
manded it, and after due inquiry, have ordered proper
and temperate chastisement. He could not dispose
of this case aummarily, as the assaults had been com-
mitted more than three months ago, and he ordered
the defendant to enter into his own recognizance in
the sum of 401. to appear at the next sessions of the
Central Criminal Court, where the boy could go and
indict him.
Captain Henry Street, the master and owner of the
ship Victoria, from Monte Video and Buenos Ayres,
was next charged with assaulting a lad named James
Thompson, at sea.
It appeared from the evidence, that on the 10th of
February last the complainant, who is one of the ap-
prentices, gave offence to the Captain, in consequence
of delaying the breakfast, and he beat him across the
head with both his fists. On another occasion, while
the boy was at the helm, the Captain came aft with
a sextant in his hand, and struck him on the face and
cut his eve very severely.
John Murray, a seaman, stated that he had seen
the Captain beat Thompson on three different occa-
sions, and he never " gave tongue" or did anything to
deserve it. He saw the boy's eye cut.
Mr. BALLANTINE said he should treat this case as
he did the last, and ordered Captain Street to enter '
into his own recognizance in the sum of 401., to
answer the charge at the sessions.
A Solicitor said he had a complete answer to the case.
Mr. BALLANTINE-15311 shall make your answer at
the Old Bailey Court, for the case will go there for trial.

THE ARTESIAN WELL AT PARIS.—The operation
of tubing the well at Grenelle has recently been com-
pleted in the most satisfactory manner. In order to
understand the importance of this wo:k it may be well
to refer to the causes which have rendered it neces-
sary. In the month of February, 1841, after eight
years' persevering labour, the spring at Grenelle be-
gan to pour forth a volume of water of not less
than 2,600 litres in a minute. But, although the
source was as pure as that of the Seine, it had
as dark a colour as the water in the gutters of the
streets. A pipe of joints, 1,800 feet in length,
copper turned, made as a telescope, was placed in
the excavation ; but, not being strong enough to
resist the force of the ascending waters, it was
soon flattened and destroyed. M. Mulot thereupon
had a new tube of beaten iron, each joint of which
was thick enough to resist a pressure equal to seventy
atmospheres. On the 20th of this month, after only
four days' labour, the tube was properly fixed, and
the water now flows abundantly, clear as rock crys-
tal, and at a milk-warm heat. The old workshop,
from the middle of which the current flowed, is
already half-destroyed, and on its site the carpenters
are erecting a scaffolding of strong pine-boards, 100
feet high, which will direct and form a channel for
the waters rising to this height. Paris will now pos-
sess an inexhaustible supply of excellent water, rush-
ing from such an elevation as to be easily distributed
to the loftiest situations in the city

PRICE OF SUGAR.
EFFECTS OF MONOPOLY.
LONDON, SEPT. 30, 1842.
The following average prices, exclusive of duty, of
Brown or Muscovado British Sugars, will be pub-
lished in the Gazette of this evening :

s. d.
West India 36 51 per cwt.
East India 37 5
Mauritius 3l 8
The total average price of the three descriptions is
365. Old. per cwt.
The actual weights of Sugar sold on account of the
importers, in the week ending the 27th inst., accord-
ing to the returns made upon oath by. the Sugar bro-
kers, in conformity with the Act of Parliament, and
on which weights the above prices are computed, con-
sisted of 28,051 cwt. West India, of 12,786 cwt. East
India, and 6,671 cwt. Mauritius.
2,600 cwt. of raw and black sugars have been sold
at from 20s. to 255. per cwt. in the same week, which
being classed as East India and Mauritius, unfairly
depresses the average prices of those kinds of Sugar;
as well as that of the total average.
Manilla Sugar of good quality may be bought at
from 15s. to 16s. per cwt. Porto Rico, equal to the
average quality of West India Sugars are 16s. 6d. per
cwt., and Brazil at from 13s. to 223., and foreign Mo-
lasses, which would serve excellently well for fatten-
ing cattle or for manure at 7s. per cwt. This differ-
ence of prices clearly demonstrates that the British
nation is paying the sugar monopolists 20s. per cent.
more for all the sugar consumed in the country than
it is really worth, being equivalent to an indirect tax,
levied from all classes to enrich the West Indians, of
four millions sterling per annum, and when the tit-
vouritism shown by the duties on Rum, Coffee,
Cocoa, &c., is taken into the calculation, those four
millions will be increased to five.

SPIRITS AND WINE.
The number of gallons of proof spirits distilled in
the United Kingdom, in the year ending January
5, 1842, wits : in England, 5,919,207 ; in Scotland,
8,504,333 ; in Ireland, 6,359,124; total, 20,782,664.
The number of gallons of proof spirits on which
duty was paid for consumption, during the same
period, was, in England, 8,166,985 ; in Scotland,
5,989,905 ; in Ireland, 6,485,443: total, 20,642,333.
The amount of duty paid upon this quantity of spirits
was 5,161,610/. los. 6d.

The difference between the number of gallons dis-
tilled and the number on which duty was paid fur
consumption, in England, gives us the quantity of
whisky consumed in this country, namely, 2,247,778
gallons. The lovers of this spirit, who, relying on
the professions of dealers, flatter themselves with
the notion that they are supplied with " pure
malt whisky," will be a little surprised to learn
that the whole quantity of whisky made from malt
consumed in England amounts to only 520,942 gal-
lons ! From Scotland we get 1,894,657 gallons of
whisky, but the " canny" Scot takes care to send us
only 519,009 gallons, of the malt; the rest consist.' of
a " mixture of malt with unmalted grain," which,
doubtless, is considered good enough for the stomachs
of English "loons ;" and so it is as long as they put
up with it. From Ireland we obtain 1,933 gallons
made from malt. Turning to Scotland, we find that
of the 5,989,905 gallons consumed in that country
5,375,162 were made from malt, and only 614,743
from a mixture of malt with unlimited grain. In Ire-
land the case is reversed ; of the 6,485,443 gallons
consumed, 0n1y:527,196 were made from malt, and
5,958,247 from a mixture of malt with uninalted grain.
The number of gallons of proof ruin, brandy,
Geneva, and other foreign and colonial spirits, con-
sumed in England between the sth of January, 1841,
sth of January, 1842, was 3,344,922; in
88,814 ; Ireland, 30,338. The
taont
the
Scotlandamountal
it Nla
of duty paid on this quantity of spirit
was 2,417,1661.

It is curious to contrast the consumption of spirits
of all kinds with the population, thus :

Population. Consumption
of Spirits.
-- - -

England (and Wales) 15,911,725 ... 11,511,907
Scotland 2,628,957 ... 6,078,719
Ireland
Without troubling the reader with minute fractions,
the above figures give two quarts and one gill as the
quantity of spirits consumed per head (that is, in-
cluding every man, woman, and child) in England ;
two gallons, one quart, and one gill per head fur
Scotland; and three quarts and one quartern in Ireland
This account will probably excite some little sur-.
prise. If the question were mooted in any English
or Scotch company, in which part of the United
Kingdom the largest quantity of spirits was con-
sumed, the reply would immediately be " Ireland."
The quantity consumed in Ireland certainly is large :
yet it is comparatively insignificant when contrasted
with the quantity consumed in Scotland, which
allows no less than two gallons one quart and
half a pint for every man, woman, and child !
I'Ve are accustomed to hear the . use of ardent
spirits spoken of tai being the fruitful source of
crime in England and Ireland ; but what is the
case as regards Scotland ? The people of Scot-
land are, undoubtedly, the most virtuous and orderly
portion of the population of the United Kingdom, anil
yet they drink more spirits than any other. Persons
who are in the habit of drawing hasty conclusions might
say that in Scotland virtue and order resulted from
the drinking of spirits. We do not say so, for it is
not our purpose to draw conclusions, but merely to
furnish the materials for speculation to others. As-
suming, however, that the use of spirits tends to pro-
duce crime, there must be a strong counteracting in-
fluence in Scotland. .

The number of gallons of foreign: wine on which
duty was paid for home consumption in the United
Kingdom in the year ended sth January, 1842, was
6,184,960 ; of which Portuguese 2,387,017, Spanish
2,412,821, French 353,740, Cape 441,238, Madeira
107,701, Sicilian and other sorts 401,429, Rhenish
55,242, Fayal 137.

THE QUEEN AND - u KIRK.--In a late number
we expressed an opinion that the Queen had been
well advised in avoiding the Kirk during her recent
visit. The virulence with which she has been
assailed by the Non-Intrusion organs for what they
construe as a slight, or rather as a downright insult
to the people of Scotland, shows that had she pursued
a contrary course, they would, in all probability, have
turned it to party uses. Irrespective, therefore, of
the unreasonableness of supposing it imperative on
her Majesty to change the form of her worship
simply because she iad shifted her geographical
position, we hold that the present rebellious attitude
of the Church would have formed a sufficient
reason for her non-attendance on its ministrations.
We learn, however, on undoubted authority, that
the real cause of her Majesty's not attending church
when in Edinburgh, was her dislike to pczform her
devotions in a manner ostentutionsly public. To be
stared at by large multitudes of people when en-
gaged in that particular duty, was what she could not
reconcile herself to, and hence she preferred Mr.
Ramsay's ministrations at Dalkeith House. This
fact is in accordance with all we know of the Queen's
personal habits at Buckingham Palace, where she al.
ways attends the chapel of St. James's Palace in the
greatest privacy; and although, its we have stated,
the course adopted by her Majesty would have been
justifiable on widely different grounds, we think it
proper that her actual motive should be understood hy
the public. It will, we have no doubt, be appre-
ciated by every devotional mind, and must put to
shame the indecent attacks levelled at her Majesty by
certain hot-headed partisans of the Church.—Scotsman.
By a recent ordonnance of the Neapolitan Govern-
ment, the daty on printed books imported into the
dominions of the King of Naples is reduced one-half.
The duty in future will be equal to 66 centimes
French per volume for octavos, or books of a smaller
size; lf. 32c. for quartos, and If. 98c. for folios. This
reduction has, in fact, been virtually in existence by
way of favour for some time past, but it had not been
formally proclaimed. Under its operation, the im-
portation of books into the Neapolitan dominionsi hasthw

RELIGION of the MONGOLIANS.
(From a Missionary Account.)
.They had temples much in the-Chineit style, whioh
wore supported by a number of slender columns;
from them were suspended white cloths, on which
Various prayers were inscribed; and, as these were
agitated by the air, the people believed that
had
was continually being offered up. They had, too,
another form idolatry, which he could
.call nothing
else than a praying machine. In a robin in their
temples was a kind of barrel, the interior of which
was filled with the sacred books, and the act of praying
was performed by taking the handle and turning it
round on a pivot, the people believing that by put,
ting the books in commotion, they offered up prayere
acceptable to their gods. The priest's office was t
sit in the temple, while worship was going on,
with their legs crossed under them. Some of the
temples would accommodate 500 priests, to whom
,the people gave offerings for their intercession
the people themselves seldom worshipped. Among
other tricks, the priesthood pretended to have the
power of exorcising. They would find out a tent
which they declared to be infested by a devil, and then
they would turn out the flunily, and a priest would
run r&und and round with a whip, until he had worked
himself up into a kind of frenzy. An assistant held a
bag, and the priest at length would state that he had
caught the devil, and, having tied him up in the bag,
he would cal) upon the people. to pay him. They also assumed the power of knowing the state of de-
parted
. souls, and on being consulted by surviving
blends, they would pretend to hold communion with
the g ods, and, declaring that the souls were inclosed in
a fish in a distant sea, or in a wild animal in a forest,
they would require offerings to perform ceremonies to
procure for those souls a better berth. Anothertrick was
of the most revolting character: the Mongolians having
an aversion to the burial of their dead, would put them
into a slight box or coffin and carry them, to the hills,
where they would leave them exposed, often a prey
to wolves and ravenous beasts. Some of the priests
had the courage
to go to these places and eat of the
putrid corpses, in order to induce a that they
were inspired by the gods, and to obtah2for them-
selves a high degree of veneration.,
boots
were mostly translations from the Ilubetian language.
They had six sacred words, and to repeat these a
certain number of times was regarded as an atone-
ment even for the sin of parricide. It was considered
by them great writ to write a book, or past eca
book ; and, fur a man to do so with the skin of his
body for paper, one of his bones Tot a pen, and his
blood for ink, was thought to be an offering most
acceptable to the gods.
