James Hayes was charged by Gerrard de Custer with unlawfully
detaining a bed and furniture.

It appeared that James Hayes had a sister named Cummiris, oho
kept the Falcon public house, in Falcon-court, in the Borough;
lids widow died in circumstances of poverty, and her brother ha,.
ing paid bur funeral expenses, considered himself entitled to ht.,
goods, of which he believed this bed and furniture formed a p4t:.
To prove that the bed was lent on hire to Mrs. Cem:nins, Mr.
Custer, who is a broker, produced a bill and handed it to
Basvuxson,in which Mrs. Cummins was charted £2 12s. B.i put
twenty weeks' Lire of the bed at 2s. 'id. per wee;. The bill contained

Zisca, the military leader of the klussites,lost one eye
in his infancy, while romping with- his playmates, and
the other he lost at a siege. Yet his blindness did net
stop his activity—he still fought several times against

death, his attendants asked him how he wished his body
to be disposed of ? " Throw it," said he, " to the wild
beasts, after you have stripped it of its skin ; and with
thisinake a drum to beat for recruits to the war against
our enemies; in my lifetime they fled before me—at
my death they shall equally tremble at the sound of
my. relics."
