home Of a gentleman who was a
Magistrate. One winter the old
soldier fell i'll and became so
weak that the Magistrate and
his wife concluded that he must
soon die. The thoughts of his
death did not distress them, but
they could not think of the loss
Of his pension with equanimity.
They received his bounty as pay
ment for board; and, of coursc.
would lose it at his death. To
obviate this they conspired with
a young woman, relative of the
wife, TO marry the old soldier.
This was made possible by the
fact that the veteran was not
only debilitated physically, but
mentally weak and completely
under their control. The pro.
sramme then was for the soldier
to die, his widow to draw the
pension and incidentally, divide
it with the Magistrate and wife.
