But they go on ever as before, just as they please. When about to go on board, accompanied by various friars and secular priests, he showed some emotion, and said : 'God pardon those who are the ruin of the Christian congregation of Madras,' and, tears falling from his eyes, he embarked. I have found that a judge who has an interest can never do real justice. As an example, I refer to Portugal, where there was a judge upright and impartial. An old woman presented him with four ripe figs out of season. Without thinking, he took them and ate them. When he came to pay the old woman, she declined to be paid, and begged him to have compassion upon her and her son, then in prison. The judge repented him of having eaten the figs, and being angry, and although he had received a gratification \[200\], said he could do nothing to the prisoner except as the law prescribed, nor would he favour him. - [Previous: 338.18.4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.338.18.4) - [Next: 338.18.6](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.338.18.6) - [Up: 338.18](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.338.18) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.338.18.5](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.338.18.5) · Pramāṇa
