<News>: (145) The Emperor Soulouque, having learned that a European journalist permitted himself to criticise some of the acts of his administration, arrived to sieze the guilty man and plunged him into a cooking pot full of boiling tar — All with the hope that this would serve as a lesson to this hack and that he would not write a second article against his majesty. (Official prefect of Haiti.) (Note from le Charivari) — This ingenious method to curb the deviations of the Press is recommended for the meditation of the Burgraves.
