In behalf of Blasio Agostinelli and his
Associates, Prisoners, against
the Fisc.
Memorial of fact and law.
At Rome, in the type of the Reverend Apostolic Chamber,
1698.
[Pamphlet 3.]
Most Illustrious and Most Reverend Lord:
The plea of injured honour which redeems Count Guido from the rigorous penalty that should follow for the commission of murders, likewise urges mitigation of the ordinary penalty for Blasio and the associates who had hand in the murder, even though it may be pretended that they were paid thereto. For it is taken for granted that we are dealing with a case far removed from assassination, because of the presence of a person who had real cause for vengeance, as the following authorities think in common.
