    Describes the case of 'two disreputable foreigners, Francis-Joseph Charles Hapsburg and Frederick-William Louis Hohenzollern', who were charged with 'assault and highway robbery with violence' on Christian Glucksbourg—a reference to the invasion of the Danish duchies of Schleswig and Holstein by Prussia and Austria. Reports that the victim 'was still unable to move without crutches, and complained of severe internal injuries, causing serious intestinal damage', afflictions prompting his doctors to recommend 'amputation' (i.e. the relinquishment of Schleswig and Holstein).
