The rule which makes foreigners amenable to the laws of the state in which they remove, does not apply to embassadors. They are not responsible to the laws of the country to which they are sent, even when guilty of crime.
The market value of them would not afford an alarming estimate of the intensity of the superstition still lingering in this form in the land.
