"Ideo, domni, coram stryga demonstrata, crimine patente, intentione criminis existente, in nornine sanctoe ecclesioe Nostroe-Domince Parisiensis quoe est in saisina habendi omnimodam altam et bassam justitiam in illa hac intemerata Civitatis insula, tenore proesentium declaremus nos requirere, primo, aliquamdam pecuniariam indemnitatem; secundo, amendationem honorabilem ante portalium maximum Nostroe-Dominoe, ecclesioe cathedralis; tertio, sententiani in virtute cujus ista styrga cum sua capella, seu in trivio vulgariter dicto la Greve, seu in insula exeunte in fluvio Secanoe, juxta pointam juardini regalis, executatoe sint!"*

According to the terms of the document with regard to the composition of this court, the bishops sitting in it were "directi a Hlotario magno Imperatore"; and their powers are several times referred to as being "juxta jussionem et Indiculum Domni Imperatoris." Here, as in all other similar cases, we see plainly that there is no indication of any purely personal jurisdiction.

But of all words which identify the Gipsies with the East, and which prove their Hindu origin, those by which they call themselves Rom and Romni are most conclusive. In India the Dom caste is one of the lowest, whose business it is for the men to remove carcasses, while the Domni, or female Dom, sings at weddings. Everything known of the Dom identifies them with Gipsies.

Dom and Domni The Hindi tem Gipsy and Hindustani points of the Compass Salaam and Shulam Sarisham! The Cups Women's treading on objects Horseflesh English and Foreign Gipsies Bohemian and Rommany. A learned Sclavonian Michael von Kogalnitschan has said of Rommany, that he found it interesting to be able to study a Hindu dialect in the heart of Europe.

By-and-by he disappears he is sure to do so if there are no people about the tan and then reappears with some dark descendant of the Dom and Domni.

The occupation of the Domni and Romni, dancing and making music at festivals, are strikingly allied. I was reminded of this at the last opera which I witnessed at Covent Garden, on seeing stage Gipsies introduced as part of the fete in "La Traviata."
