Holland and England. These results are contrasted with the
act of the Pope, Innocent X II., who, in the year 1700, being the
commencement of a new century, proclaimed a grand Secular
Jubilee, and granted special absolution and indulgences to all who
should perform certain acts of penitence, and thus gave to the
populace greater license and freedom than at other times. For
an account of the ceremonies of this Jubilee see Somers’ Tracts
(1813), Vol. IX. p. 580. As the medal has the arms of
Deventer, it is probable that Arondeaux was residing in that
city when he executed it, and may even have made it by
direction of the Master of the Mint of that place.

Early in the year 1700 the case of a ship in the port of
Dublin excited much controversy and legal perplexity without
being brought to any satisfactory decision. In order to put
an end to this delay and expense, the matter was referred to
an arbitration of merchants, whose decision was prompt and
highly approved. On the utility of this precedent a Society,
consisting of the most respectable merchants in Dublin, was
formed for determining commercial differences by arbitration.
The name of the vessel was the “ Ouzel Galley,” and from it
the Society adopted its name. The costs decreed against the
parties who submitted to their arbitration were always appropriated
to charitable purposes. The above medal was worn by
members of the Society, but was not executed till the beginning
of this century.
