on this point of %etiquet. The direct
accusation cost IL shillings 6 pence
($2. 76); the subtle hint. 6 shillings s

tion on repetitions. Swearing, too, was
promptly suppressed. In 1850 a law
was passed laying down the penalty
for a first offense. The fines were grad
uated. That for a lord was 80 shill-
