[469] There is the case also of a man, condemned to life imprisonment, being permitted to stay with his invalid father as long as the latter survived. The father may have been seriously ill and his remaining days likely to be few. The case is, however, interesting. Douais, _L’Inquisition_, p. 232. [470] In the bull, _Fraternitatem tuam_.

[473] As for example the Sire de Parthenay, see Lea, vol. i, p. 451; and the towns of Albi and Carcassonne, see Tanon, pp. 439-40. It is worth noticing that the notary, who drew up the appeal of the latter city against Nicholas d’Abbeville, was prosecuted for heresy and imprisoned.

If we hold by this definition, very few Liberals have ever existed, or do exist now.’ [481] D. G. Ritchie, _Natural Rights_ (1903), p. 160.
