continued on that day, and an amend

long and rs centimentres in thickne SIS,
has been found, as have also the remains
oil "a large hall, and the extremity of an
aqueduct carefully paved, and being 40
centimetres in width and so in height.
Several Roman medals from the time Of
Nero were found in these ruins.

wooden crosses were found in the inte-

legged. stolen some plate, and the fact
having been discovered, the officers Of
the garrison, or at least great number
OF them, held a meeting to consider
how they could save the honor OF their
cloth. Some proposed to deliver him up
TO justice, others to provide him with the
means of flight, whilst third party
declared that there was nothing else for
