English Translation
39 - 2 - for example, by dancing with the market women on the occasion of an Annenfest in the market hall, but the individual efforts that could not improve his former reputation remained. The opinion in the population about the arrest of Dr. Klapka is divided; the one condemns his way of doing things and is bitter about the fact that he has used his position as a primator to such pursuits and further concludes that he should have laid down his ant long ago; as a private man he can do what he wants, but as a Primator he has to be aware of his duty to his office and to the Czech people, who want nothing to do with these things any more, In order not to let the opinion, as if wrong had happened to him, become big from the beginning, should the case of Klapca, according to Czechs, be openly rolled up and negotiated, for thus do not treat his people responsibly Czechs. It is also said that Klapka was arrested not alone, but together with about 3o magistrates. The rumour that Dr. Klapka had been arrested only for the purpose of occupying the post with a German, which had already been announced today, has been withdrawn from everyone by Dr. Ríhaš with the business of the capital Prague; the order was received with satisfaction by the Czechs.
