For the nourishment of the sick, they were allowed four thou- sand livres Tournois; and the barber, who was also surgeon t...o the community, received a salary of a hun- dred livres. * About 1560-67, the Borders were infested with armed banditti, who committed the most lawless de- predations, and whom success had made insolent and intolerable.
