A severe scrutiny of this affair took place at the University. Four students, who had been ringleaders, were expelled; four others, who had been prominent in the affray, were publicly admonished; among the latter was the unlucky Goldsmith. To make up for this disgrace, he gained, within a month afterward, one of the minor prizes of the college.
The last Moor had been driven from the peninsula, the Jews had been expelled from the Catholic kingdom, and the Inquisition now that the Church could no longer direct its energy against the infidel strengthened the Pope's hold on the land and increased the importance and magnificence of the prelates themselves.
It went across his brain like a shattering bolt of lightning, that word. He did not know what the word was or what it meant but it found an echo somewhere and his brain screamed it. "Kieran!" Not his brain alone, his voice was gasping it, harshly and croakingly, his lungs seeming on fire as they expelled the word. He was shaking.
The old Sullanian colonists were treated with great severity, and many of them and their children were expelled from their lands, and were thus punished for the cruelty which they or their fathers had committed against the inhabitants of the municipia.
"You must have misunderstood them," murmured Staines, in a voice that was now barely audible a yard off. "The hemorrhage of a bright red color, and expelled without effort or nausea?"

In six weeks Dr Grayson received a letter asking him to fetch Dexter away to save him from being expelled. The Doctor looked very angry as he went down to Cardley Willows, and the inquiries took a stern, rather bitter turn. "Has the boy been a young blackguard?" he said. "No," said the principal. "Dishonest?" "Oh dear no!" "Well, what is it then disobedient!" "Oh dear no! He'll promise anything."
This was in Ireland, where Asgill was elected member for Enniscorthy, for which place however he only sat four days, being expelled for his pamphlet on October 10th, 1703. Shortly afterwards Asgill became member for Bramber, in Sussex, but this seat, too, he lost in 1707 for the same reason, the English House, like the Irish, though not by a unanimous vote, condemning his book to the flames.
It was the second siege on a grand scale which had been brought to a brilliant and fortunate conclusion by the wisdom and prudence as well as the courage and perseverance of Washington. In the first he expelled the enemy and recovered Boston uninjured, freeing the soil for a time from the presence of the enemy.
The Dutch were defeated in the field, and one by one their fortresses were taken. The Reciff itself held out for some time, but it was surrendered at last in 1654; and with its fall the Dutch were finally expelled from the territory for the acquisition of which they had sacrificed so much blood and treasure.
As far as the city of Rome itself is concerned, small account was taken of its internal agitations, so many were the Popes who had returned after being expelled by popular tumult, and so greatly did the presence of the Curia minister to the interests of the Roman people.
