- It has bson frequently asserted to be
without historical precedent hat pTisOReTs q

from wh0se hands they were captured. This is
a mistake. The Emperor Napoleon received
regularly from ths British Government money

hands. It was Elso actually nlsde a subject Of
complaint against tho French Government that
/. made no provision for French prisoners IA
British hands. These facts SIC fully detailed in
