Condé accused Gondy in the Parliament chamber of being author of a factum condemning severely the Prince's conduct. La Rochefoucauld, getting Gondy between two doors, treacherously seized, and was about to strangle him, had not the son of the first President, M. de Champlatreux, come to the rescue, at the very moment that one of the bullies in Condé's pay had drawn his dagger to despatch him.
"What is it; what device is there?" I knew something of heraldry and read aloud without hesitation the bearings upon the shield, prominent among which were three wolves' heads, chevroned, supported by two black wolves, rampant, the coronet and motto "Praeclare factum."
Very likely it may be right, but were our ancestors ignorant of all this, or was it usage that gave them this liberty? Therefore the same poet who had used these uncommon contractions "Patris mei mecûm factûm pudet," for meorum factorum, and, "Texitur: exitiûm examen rapit," for exitiorum,
"Fecit!" repeated the clergyman; "is that German?" "Nein dat isht Latin; facio, feci, factum, facere feci, feciste, FECIT. It means make, I suppose you know." The parson looked at me, and at my dress and figure, with open surprise, and smiled as his eye glanced at his daughter.
It was still, indeed, beyond the power of man to lay hold securely of the charity and the regeneration that were henceforth to be his law; and the indefinable terrors of the future, whether seen from the West or from the East, were not at once to be dispelled. "Hac clade factum, ut Imperium quod in littore oceani non steterat, in ripa Rheni fluminis staret."
Brentano of the University of Munich, the communication being a reply to the recent German Appeal to Civilized Nations on the subject of the war: PARIS, Oct. 15, 1914. To Prof. Schmoller's signature. But we felt painful surprise when, at the foot of the said factum, we found your name side by side with his.
Et Verbum caro factum est seemed a sublime statement intended to express the traditional formula of the Will, the Word, and the Act made visible.
It is to anticipate what is called damnum infectum, or damnum nondum factum, that is, a damage justly apprehended, but not actually done. Even before it is clearly known whether the innovation be damageable or not, the judge is competent to issue a prohibition to innovate, until the point can be determined. This prompt interference is grounded on principles favourable to both parties.
Madame d'Orleans cannot believe that her brother has been engaged in a conspiracy; she says it must have been his wife who acted in his name. The Princess, on the other hand, believes that her daughter is innocent, and that the Duc du Maine alone has carried on the plot. The factum is not badly drawn up. Our priest can write well enough when he likes; he drew it up, and my son corrected it.
The reaction of the Virginians came in the form of Act I of the Assembly of October 1649 which hailed "the late most excellent and now undoubtedly sainted king," denounced the perpetrators of the deed, and declared that if any person in the colony should defend "the late traiterous proceedings ... under any notion of law and justice" by words or speeches, such person should be adjudged an accessory post factum to the death of the King.
