The nob'es ruled the peo- pi and the king ruled -all. For -my parr, I fraukly admit that I was proud of my title of Count and prized the pre- rogati v. a of my rank and the rights of my birth. My steward dispensed ju tice to my va-sals in my name, and when his decisons appeand unjust to ithem they appealed to me in per-ori ' v The gallows, which stood before the great gateol the cattle, pithi.y annourc ed my power of condemning to death with in i be limits ot'my ennty. By law ull smugglers were subject to this riorou peralty, to which my deputy always condemned tlitm with unsparing severity, and wliloh I always commuted to a lighter punishment. At this time the smugglers were in greater numbers than they are now, and as I bad re c'vad direction frona court toippres the iilejiaV tf'ffio, I had armed my tas sals, who patrolled all the defiloa and by ro ds, scoured tbo mountains, and resisted! the officers of the ki.ig'flcu3- .i - tonis oa ail iccnsion?. This rigorous pursuit of the smugglers increased their audacity and inspired them with desper ation and revauge.. Before they were only dealers in prohibited articles ; they now became brigands, organized regular bands into troops, and opposed open re sixtanco in the field to tbe. king's nnd my jurisdiction. Ona day fit ty of my people were attacked near La Picade and cruelly massacred by these bandits ; whereupon I vowed never agaiu to re mit or commute the teutence of my deputy, but to bung, up the first emu gler who should bo captured.
