Last evening Hazael was the central
figure of groupe of acquaintances in
the same parlor. In answering to an
inquiry he said: sI am all right, bar

Attempts against the Queen arc pun

not exceeding three years, "the culprit
to be publicly or privately whipped as
often and in such manner as the court
shall direct, not exceeding thrice"
The law making the attempted assas-
sination of the sovereign high treason

martyrs penalty would not in the end
be inflicted" 1t was believed that a
punishment at once sharp and deg rad

more and a greater restraint
upon miscreants who might take 1t into
their heads to assail the Queen. Since
the change in the law n 0 serious attempt
has been made to assassinate the Queen,
