II Is TWO prelateS Of the Church Of Jesus
Christ Matteucci and Benvenut, the one Secre-
tary OF the Council, and the other Fiscal-Gen-
eral. by whose directions and orders these re-.
fnements of cruelty are inflicted ON the unhappy

their transports of despair they strike or insult
them If they dare to show themselves IN their
somber abode IN order 10 mock n their Suiicrngs.

brutal PROCLAMATION OF their persons by thieves
and assassiDs, and avoid the shocking maladies
which are almost always the consequence, and
by which many have died IN the nhrmary.

anime an unfortunate prisoner, Michele Lu-
atelli, IN the hypocntlcal fear OF being excom-
munlcated by his contact with a suspected out
cast from the Church
Il Is at Rome that Roman wives and daughters
have been compelled 10 prostitute themselves to
the prosecutors or to the gaoers OF their nus
bands and their fathers, IN order to obtain then
liberty, or merely some alienation OF their sui
ferings and that others have become the be
trayers of their relations, OF their friends or then
neIghbors, for the sake OF obtaining a little AID
from an lnqulsltora! police and saving them
selves and their children from pershlng with
