The lady referred to, on her way to church, saw a boy whom she fancied, and on coming out took him home with her against his will, and he was never seen again. The lady was related to the highest-placed gentlemen to be found in Bassein. These men, recognising her disorders and misdeeds, made overtures to certain negro women of her household that, if they would destroy her in her sleep, their lives would be protected. Listening to the proposal, the slave women killed her by hitting her on the head \[177\] with a big stone and crushing her brains. The magistrate arrested the negresses, who were sentenced to death. On their way to execution they passed in front of the church of the Jesuit Fathers, who came out with the flag of Mercy, and they were liberated. This affair happened while I was in India, and many affirmed to me that it was true. When I passed through Bassein I merely addressed a question to some well-born gentlemen who were her relations, and they replied that it was worse than what I had heard said, and therefore God had punished her. - [Previous: 265.5.7](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.265.5.7) - [Next: 265.6.1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.265.6.1) - [Up: 265.5](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.265.5) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.265.5.8](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.265.5.8) · Pramāṇa
