Vainly she implored the restitution of her property; the man had drunk deeply of love, and was inexorable; but he offered her protection beneath his roof as his betrothed spouse. The merlady, perceiving that she must become an inhabitant of the earth, found that she could not do better than accept of the offer. This strange attachment subsisted for many years, and the couple had several children.

He proceeds: That you should arm every citizen with a civil process by which he may claim, if he pleases, a restitution of his goods seized under the existing imposts on his giving security to abide the issue of a suit at law, and at the same time define what shall constitute treason against the State, and by a bill of pains and penalties compel obedience and punish disobedience to your own laws, are points too obvious to require any discussion.

"In its way, I think it was worse than the robbery by Lee and Falkner, for it was done in the name of law and order; while, as far as I can judge from the facts, the affair that we were following up was simply a rude and irregular restitution of property that had been morally stolen." "I have no doubt you did quite right, though I don't understand it," said Mrs.

When you or your family are able to make this restitution, pay the sum you owe into the hands of Messrs. Mongenod and Company, bankers. May God forgive you. Five crosses formed the mysterious signature of this letter, which Godefroid returned to the baron. "The five crosses are there," he said as if to himself.

The argument in favour of this construction is strengthened by a reference to the article of the Summa dealing with restitution, where it is pointed out that a man may suffer in two ways first, by being deprived of what he actually has, and, second, by being prevented from obtaining what he was on his way to obtain.

"You are still the headlong, impulsive boy, aren't you?" she said, not altogether approvingly. "You are paying this out of your own money." "Well, what if I am?" "If you are, it is either a just restitution, or it is not. In either case, I can not be your go-between." "Now look here," he argued; "you've got to be sensible about this.

The Edict of Restitution had been the chief cause of dispute between the Elector and the Emperor; and therefore it was first considered in their deliberations.

Our affairs are not looking better, nor is the requisition of Wesel of so great importance as to justify our involving Flanders in a new and more atrocious war than that which has so lately been suspended. The restitution is due to the tribunal of public faith. It is a great advantage when actions done for the sole end of justice are united to that of utility.

The oligarchy, who had found it convenient to attaint Bolingbroke for being the avowed minister of the English Prince with whom they were always in secret communication, when opinion forced them to consent to his restitution, had tacked to the amnesty a clause as cowardly as it was unconstitutional, and declared his incompetence to sit in the parliament of his country.
