their plan was carried out successfully.
Both reached Westminster in safety,
and were received by the monks of the
Abbey with assurances of the church's
| aid. But only few days later the gov
ernor of the tower, with a band of SOL
! diers. arrived at the Abbey, purporting to
! bring a message OF the King to see IL
things could not be righted amicably as
regards the Spanish hostage. ShakyI re-
| ceived the messenger, his companion be-
ing at the altar to hear mass.
In a twinkling, after a short parley he
was disarmed and bound, and the SOL
diers. led by their commander, made for
the church, and, though the monks were
chanting the service, ran up to the very
altar steps. But quick as they were, the
'squires' servant Outstripped them, and
whispered to the kneeling Hauley that
. his friend had been taken prisoner.
Hauley, crying sanctuary" whipped
out his sword, but was soon overpowered,
and. while the chanting of the service
continued, was cut-down in the house OF
God, where protection had been prom
ised, and safety and immunity guaran-
teed him. His body was inferred in what
is now known as the poets corner" His
grave marks the end OF Sanctuary"
and an epoch in Englands history. 1t

Shakyl for a time was kept in confne-
ment only his valet being allowed TO be
near him. He also might have been put
to the sword but for the wrath Of the
people over the sacrilege of Hauley's
murder So that the King found it the
best policy to settle with him. He was
given his freedom and an annuity for the
remainder Of his life. Besides, the King
himself paid for masses for the repose
of Hauleys soul.
