Three persons seized on ['Layer, but althriugh in-
firm and on crotches, he opposed an obstinate resist-

provoked any arts of violence, the punishment would
have been capital ; but that not being the cue, he
was banished for five years.

procured, and three men sat up with him during the
night; unfortunately, they all fell asleep, and the
poor man, unaware of the operation he had gone
