seated himself on the side of the belfry.
The provost of the town then entered the
enclosure, and the champions swore re-
spectively On the Holy Gospel that their
quarrel was good. Next, their dresses
were creased, in order that they might
have less hold upon each other; spices
were brought IN silver cups to invigorate
them, and two other cups, containing
ashes, with which they rubbed their
hands. When all was properly disposed
according to the usages and franchises of
the town, the provost threw the glove,
which had been taken up as the grace OF
battle, and cried" Do our duty! do your
duty do your duty -
The champions, after having beaten
each other with their sticks, grappled to-
gether, and shook each other violently
Mahuot fell; but instantly got up again.
.Jacotin rushed upon him, threw him down
once more, held him firmly to the ground,
thrust sand into his eyes, and tortured
him for nearly three-quarterS of an hour,
to make him confess the murder.
Philippe the Good remained in the
house of Melchior du Gardin, the provost
of the town, and watched the combat be-
hind blind: He sent to inquire of the
magistrate if there were no means of put
ting stop to this horrible struggle. The
magistrate replied that that could not be
without prejudice to the privileges of the
city, and that the conflict must have it's
course.
At last, after being for a long while
tortured by his adversary, Mahuot, utterly
blind, and crippled in every limb, cried
Enough" but, on rising, he attempted
to rush upon his foe; but Jacotin twisted
his arms until they broke.
The wretched man, acknowledging him.
self beaten, and confessing the murder,
had still strength enough to cry out so as
to be heard at distance-'sNly lord of
Burgundy, pity! pity. I served you
we'll In your war with Client ~ The
duke was moved even to tears. He again
asked the magistrate whether it were pos
sible to save the life of this unfortunate
wretch, or at least, when dead, to accord
him burial in consecrated ground. The
provost answered, that the law must be
fulfilled step by step. Meanwhile Jacotin
had completed his terrible vengeance with
blows of his stick. He seized the bleed
ing corpse by one leg, and dragged it out
OF the list: after which-and this part of
the chronicle cannot be read without
shudder-he went to the church of Notre-
Dame-la Grande, to return thanks to God
Tor having caused justice to triumph!
The magistrate gave judgment that the
murderer should be dragged on hurdle
to the gallows, and be there, for form s
sake, strangled and hung. The Duke of
Burgundy, justly indignant at the exccu-
ton he had witnessed, and which, in
spite of all his power, he had been unable
to prevent, swore to abolish this barbor-
Gus custom. Thenceforwards it was
never practiced in the Low Countries.
