And yet the fury of the Government was not satisfied.

In 1853 new "temporary rules" were issued, "by way of experiment," whereby not only communities but also individuals among Jews were granted the right of offering as their substitutes any fellow-Jew from another city than his own who was caught without a passport.

Any Jew who happened to absent himself from his place of residence without a passport could be seized and drafted into service as a substitute for a regular recruit due from the family of the captor.

The "captive," regardless of age, was made a soldier, and the captor was given a receipt for one recruit.
A new ferocious hunt began.

The official "captors" employed by the Kahals were no longer the only ones to prowl after living prey.
