29S A TOUR THROUGH
has been guilty of a crime which in catholic
countries is generally punished with the
greatest rigour;—no less than the debauch-
ing a nun.—He met with the young lady
at a bathing place, about thirty miles
from this, where she had been sent from
her convent for the recovery of her health ;
her mother was along with her, but as the
two young people were sirst cousins, and
had lived together like brother and sister,
the old lady thought there could be no rife
in allowing them their wonted familiarity.
The nun soon recovered her health,
grew fat, and returned to her convent.
This is about six or seven months ago ;
and it is only a few days since the fatal
discovery was made; but alas, it would
conceal no longer. He is banished Sicily
for life ; and his estate, or the greatest part
of it, is confiscated. He may think himself
happy they have treated him with so much
lenity : Had his jury been composed of
priests
