The Coroner having broken his leg, inquests will hereafter be held by the Justices of the Peace.
And I will say this for the Big Snake, that he always dealt fair, and never scalped any that he didnt kill with his own hands. Well, well! cried the landlady, fighting is fighting anyway, and there is different fashions in the thing; though I cant say that I relish mangling a body after the breath is out of it; neither do I think it can be uphild by doctrine.
They use them with all liberality and freedom, to the end their lives may be so much the dearer to them; but frequently entertain them with menaces of their approaching death, of the torments they are to suffer, of the preparations making in order to it, of the mangling their limbs, and of the feast that is to be made, where their carcass is to be the only dish.
