He threw a big paper packet at the feet of the king, who promptly kicked it out of the car riage and remained seated without at tacking the man, who received three sabre cuts on the head. Halberdors at the same time stunned him with more blows. Meantime a paroxism of rage got hold of the crowd who endeavored to lynch -the. man but were restrained by the guard..
