The Memorialist finds that Telengo
was right IN ordering the deceased to
be chastised. and that the flocginy
was inflicted on proper portion of

condemns Telengo to receive ninety

with the offense of causing mans
death by Furnishing him improperly.
In addition. Telengo must pay Ills. 10

Of Punishments to determine what
