The persons who drew up the Code Russe Ordinance for
the Civil Judicial Establishment in the provinces I will call it the
Judicial Ordinance (it is the book I told you I had got)
were one Kozitski who made a bald Latin translation of the Empressions
"Instructions for a Code" and one Taploff I
think his name is. Kozitski died about 2 years ago
at the age of 50. He was in bed with his wife: who finding
herself wet in the morning spoke to her husband, and receiving
no answer, drew aside the Cloaths and found him with
a penknive in his hand, dead, with upwards of 30 wounds
about him. Taploff is either out of favour or superannuated.
The numbers of the people are about 30,000,000. A
few years ago, the Empress published an Ordinance, enjoining
her subjects under penalties to present themselves at certain
places to be number'd.
