NOTE 139.
BIDENIUS RENHORN.
137
Bidenius Renhorn, burgomaster of Arboga, was appointed by the
Swedish Diet prosecuting attorney in the case against Count Brahe ,
Baron Horn ,138 and others, in 1756, receiving 6000 plåtar from the
Diet as his fee. In 1761 , he was one of the most zealous defenders
of Barons von Höpken, Palmstjerna, and Scheffer, and against him is
directed the document discovered by Dean Wieselgrenl40 among the
archives of the De la Gardie family, a document which he ascribes,
erroneously we maintain, to Swedenborg. Linnæus16 in his Nemesis
Divina relates the following anecdote of Renhorn : " Renhorn became
unwell, and eight days afterwards went to the Djurgårdsbrunn, to
drink the waters there. One day he invited all the guests at the
springs to a collation, with the exception of a skipper of the name
of Ahlström , who, on account of his impertinent tongue, was generally
called theOttomanPorte. On the following day Ahlström demanded satis
faction from Renhorn according to the “brunnsrätt," a jocular custom of
the springs. Ahlström, as prosecuting attorney, brought up Renhorn’s
part in the condemnation of Brahe, Horn, and the others, and he
moved that Renhorn should suffer the same punishment. This occurrence
worked so much on Renhorn’s mind that he left the springs and
returned home, where he caught a fever and died a few days after
wards." (See "Nya Kyrkan ," &c., part II, p. 61.)
