of one of the large pillars in the south transept. No. 1 
shews two figures in the act of stealing some kind of fruit; 
No. 2 also contains two figures (one armed with a fork, the 
other with an axe), who seem to be stealthily coming on 
the two thieves ; No. 3 contains two figures, in which the 
figure armed with the fork has seized one of the thieves by 
the ear, and is about to thrust the fork into his head ; in 
No. 4 the thief is supposed to be in custody, in an uneasy 
crouching posture, over whom the figure with the fork is 
standing, his hat fallen over his shoulder, apparently threat- 
ening the thief with a heavy blow, in the event of his 
attempting to move.

of great pain, in the act of extracting a thorn from her

a man, who is armed with a kind of axe.*
