Monaco is a tiny little kingdom of seven thousand

inhabitants, which lies on the shore of the
Mediterranean Sea near the borders of France and
Italy. Many a small country town has more inhabitants
than this kingdom. In spite of this, Monaco has a
Kinglet, a palace, courtiers, Ministers, a bishop,
generals and an army, consisting of sixty men. The
kingdom also levies taxes on its subjects on the use of
tobacco, wine and spirits and a poll-tax. Since this
kingdom has very few subjects, the revenue drawn
from them was not suf�cient.

Therefore the prince of Monaco had no

other than resorting to keep gaming houses for extra

revenue. This is the reason why the prince of Monaco
resorts to gambling even though it’s a dirty business.

mind in dealing with the criminal?

The kingdom of Monaco had never encountered a
crime like Murder in its domains.

When this happened the king and the law keepers did
not know how to handle this crisis. Though the judges

sentenced the murderer to be beheaded, this was not

possible, as the kingdom of Monaco had no means to
execute the murderer and they had to rely on their
neighboring country France to supply them a
guillotine, a machine to cut the heads off. But, this cost
them 16,000 Francs which was a heavy sum.

So the king decided to enquire the cost of machine

from Italy. Italy offered guillotine machine for a lesser
sum of 12,000 Francs. Even this was too much for

countries economy, therefore king decided to alter the

death sentence to one of imprisonment for life, which
was cheaper than the earlier death sentence. After
one year king noticed that life imprisonment cost
came up to more than 600 Francs which was heavy
and at last king resorted to paying a pension of 600
Francs annually to the prisoner and ordered him to
leave the domains of Monaco forever.

According to the advice given by the ministers to bring

down the expenses incurred on the prisoner, the
Prince decided to dismiss the special guard who was
kept to watch over the prisoner. This would indirectly
give an opportunity for the prisoner to escape and the
prince waited to see whether the prisoner escaped
but this never happened. The criminal was reluctant to
go out of prison for two reasons. One because he was
timely fed by the royal kitchen and second he had no
other place to go, as nobody would offer him a job as
he was a murderer. Therefore he decided to stay in the
prison instead of running away.

It was agreed that the criminal would leave Monaco

and its domain forever and for doing this he would be
paid 600 Francs annually. This somehow appeased the
criminal and he readily agreed to do so. It was
only a quarter of an hour by rail and he emigrated, and
settled just across the frontier, where he bought a bit
of land, started marketgardening and lived
comfortably. He always went at the proper time to

the revenue drawn from them is not suf�cient.

Therefore the prince of Monaco has no other option
other than resorting to keep gaming houses for extra
revenue. Though kinglet of Monaco knows it is a dirty
business, but what is he to do? He has to live. He was
much interested in all his ceremonies. He has his
coronation, his levees, his rewards, sentences and
pardons. He also had his reviews, councils, laws and
courts of justice, just like any other kings, only on a
smaller scale. King was more interested in leading a
luxurious life and also more concerned with all his
�nancial gains and less concerned with his duties.

So he drew revenue from all evil sources like gambling

houses, tax on tobacco, wines and spirits which
represents the negative aspects of life. Income
collected from the evil side of life may not lead us to
good future. Illgotten gain was spent in the ill
mannered way in the end

commits a murder.

The king had never had to deal with a murderer

before, and after the judicial process, the convict had
been sentenced to death. But there was only one hitch
in the matter and that was they had neither a
guillotine for cutting heads, off, nor an executioner. So
they had to rely on their neighboring country France.
But this cost them 16,000 Francs, which was a very
heavy sum. The prince later enquired it with Italy, Italy
offered it for a lesser sum of 12,000 Francs, and even

this was too much burden. The decision was

(reversed) revoked and the murderer was imprisoned
for life. Life imprisonment, however presented its own
set of problems.

There need to be a guard at all times and the man had

to be fed. The yearly costs were calculated to be more
than 600 Francs, which would still necessitate an
increase of taxes. It was decided that the guard should
be dismissed, even at the risk of losing the prisoner.
But the prisoner however does not try to escape and

was ruined. King �nally decides to pay 600 Francs to

the murderer as an annual pension by the government
to remain in exile. Leo Tolstoy’s angle was
humanitarian, where he re�ects on the wellbeing of
mankind. He presents this story in a most humorous
way and concludes that king who was less concerned
