As The Father Expected No Justice While That King Reigned, He Shut Himself Up Till _Zemin_ Got Possession Of The Throne, On Which He So Published His Wrongs About The City, That 50,000 Of The People Joined With Him In Demanding Justice.

Fearing evil consequences, _Zemin_ caused Suarez to be apprehended and delivered up to the people, by whom he was stoned to death.

His house was plundered, and as much less treasure was found than he was supposed to be worth, he was believed to have buried the rest.

_Zemin_ soon followed Suarez, for his subjects being unable to endure his cruelty and avarice, fled in great numbers to Xemindoo, who was now master of some considerable towns. Xemindoo having gathered an army of 200,000 men and 5000 elephants, marched to the city of Pegu, near which he was encountered by Zemin at the head of 800,000 men. The battle was long doubtful, but at last Gonzalo Neto, who served under _Xemindoo_ with 80 Portuguese, killed _Zemin_ with a musket ball, on which his army fled, and _Xemindoo_ got possession of the capital. This happened on the 3d of February 1550. Gonzalo was rewarded with a gift of 10,000 crowns, and 5000 were divided among his companions.

_Chaumigrem_, who had fled the year before to _Tangu_, hearing that _Xemindoo_ had disbanded most of his forces, marched against him and obtained a complete victory, by which the kingdom of Pegu was again reduced under the authority of the Birmans.
