As to the robber, it was found that his legs were palsied, and the doctors were of two minds as to whether he would recover the use of them or no; but the Law never gave them a chance of settling the matter, for he was hanged after Carlisle assizes, some six weeks later.
Quant au voleur, on reconnut qu'il avait les jambes paralysées, et les médecins ne purent se mettre d'accord sur le point de savoir s'il en retrouverait ou non l'usage. Mais la loi ne leur laissa point l'occasion de trancher la question, car il fut pendu environ six semaines plus tard aux Assises de Carlyle.
