by executing men, we really lend on to life: when men die in this way, they feel no animosity or anger towards their executioners," There is mach subtle reasoning in the same strain, but the main drift of it all appears to be to point out that whole- sule butcheries will do no good, but will in all probability provoke feelings of hostility to the Government. In discussing the presence of röbbbers in the country districts, the official attributes this to some extent to the fact that many of the gentry are in league with the brigants. This, he says, is not altogether the fault of the gentry, who are often poor and have no sufficient power to resist the outlaws, who, if opposed, would wreak a terrible revenge on this class of people. Instances are given in which members of a certain Clan have been aeeassinated by robbers because the family dared to oppose them, and yet the officials have not taken the trouble to inquire into the enses.
