[Footnote 1321: There is a similar occurrence at Strasbourg, a few days
after the sacking of the town-hall. The municipality having given each
man of the garrison twenty sous, the soldiers abandon their post, set
the prisoners free at the Pont-Couvert, feast publicly in the streets
with the women taken out of the penitentiary, and force innkeepers and
the keepers of drinking-places to give up their provisions. The shops
are all closed, and, for twenty-four hours, the officers are not obeyed.

confessed "that he had made him suffer a great deal; that the said

neck at the corner of each street, (and) by contriving it so that he

which M. Huez died yielded him ten francs, together with the neck-buckle
of M. Hues, found on him when he was arrested in his flight."]
