A man in the habit Of employing the greatest

defiance Of the good and wholesome laws which

what seemed right in his own eyes. he refused
TO pay the fine imposed upon him and was com.
mitted to prison. AT this he set up the cry Of
persecution. and his friends. as destitute Of mo-
lily as himself, raised purse and liberated him.
