Fairy Tales of Hans Christian Andersen, A Story From the Sand-hills, part 4, sentence 40

The common people were treated harshly; and it was just after the days when farms were converted into knights' estates, when coachmen and servants were often made magistrates, and had power to sentence a poor man, for a small offence, to lose his property and to corporeal punishment.

Who acts: execution · What happens: treat, be, convert, make, have, lose · To what, where: common people, farms, estates, coachmen, power, property
