The following are the principal facts : —lllingrat, a man of low extraction, was, at the age of 28, named to the curacy of St. Quentin. He had not been long in the situation when mune strange stories began to circulate respecting hint. Some sc an d a l ous an d criminal ad ventures were laid to his account, and neither his tone nor his manners were calculated to discredi t t h ese rumours. H e was a with a sombr e , f a l se, an d di s d a i n f u l ex prece. He was po ssesse d o f i mmense strengt h, ma s n s i o o f n o f lofty co u s t n a t t e u n r a e n , and has been seen to carry on his shoulders, from one part of the church to another, a heavy wooden confe ss i ona l, w hi c h ge . n ti e w ral st l r y en re g s t i i s i t o ed i. a fo u r t c l e ie o h f atdwoalosrodtihnae Immon a an d arrogance . ordinary men to move. With However, as an element of success in his profession, he affected a great rigorism in his sentiments and conduct , interdicting and discountenancing, as much 'as in him lay, the amusements and recreations of his parishioners. At a quarter of a league from Saint Quentin, in the Hamlet of Get, lived Etienne Charne -1 let, a disbanded soldier, whose wife, Marie Gerin, was remark. able for her beauty. The curate Mingrat, who had. been in flamed by the charms of the soldier's pretty wife, called one day at the cottage, anti told Marie Gerin when she came to St. Quentin, to call upon him, as he should have to charge her with a letter for the curate Orher village. Even at this early period he commenced his criminal designs, by engaging Marie to listen to some pretended pious discoursea, which Ife read to her in the most impassioned manner, but which he only . used as a pretext to make a most warm and amorous declaration of his paasiOn for • her. Marie, though astonished by his vivacity and agita tion, did not understand his object, but attributed the state of excitation he was in to the fervour of his piety. This circum. stance was proved on the trial by a young man who had been listening outside the window to t h e mystical d ec l arat i ons of Mingrat. A few days after this, Marie went to St. Quentin, and entered the church about six o'clo c k i n t h e eve nin g . O n seeing :Alingrat, she saluted him respectfully, and said she came to confess to him. He, on some p ret e xt or ot h er , g ot h er into the Presbytery where he lived, adjoining the church. There, it appears, he consummat e d t h e double crime of viola tion and assassination, in doing which be must have gagged the mouth of his victim, as low, inarticulate, and stifled moans were heard by his servant maid. The marks of strangulation were found upon the neck of the unfortunate woman.—The servant , attracted by the stifled moan s she heard, came to Mingrat's 'room door anti found it f astene d on t he i n . side,. and thinking that he might h ave fallen into a tit, she knocked anti called to him 'to open it, but received for instantly to the kitchen. — Hold your tongue; you meet him, saying, th, Sir, you have frightened me dread 3g,oretuhtuwcomerme e dy o h t l i g t T of O s which he replied, a i t n t e . ra fu g ri e m e h B e rn ro a u n t ne o r i t'l4te way, he told her to " - thtotti, elle ran to wildered idiot f aN u l rl h y e.en t r. . l iasi t e ho i l lo t a g rdd h e t ar t t h a ltei t )n take the newspaper to one of his neighbours. But the servant, whose curiosity was awakened, only pretended to obey, and fortunatelT: for the disecreery of the crime, remained in the i a l r l e a a b n e house... llaVing spoken to some of the neighbours of what she had heard, a vague rumour got abroad, and in a short time the husband of Marie came to the Presby - tell' to inquire after his wife, On his knocking, Mingrat himself op ene d t h e d oor , and stood so in the passage to prevent the husband from en. tering. He. first dente.d having seen Marie, hUt afterwards on the husband insisting, he pretended to recollect that he had seen her in the church, but had refused to listen to her confesaion, on account of the neglience and dis or d er of her dress. He then led the husband down the church-yard away from the house, and after a moment's conversatam, abruptly quitted him anti returned, to the Presbytery. He ordered the servant, svho did not =sleep in the house, to go sway, without giving her time to clear away the supper.— Then, not topposingr that he was watched, h e se t a b ou t disposing of the body of 'his victim. De tied the hands and feet, anti attaching a rope to the neck, he lowered the body out of the window into a back-Yard t he then went round to this yard, and taking bold of the rope he dragged the body after him to a rising ground, called La Roche.— The head, an it bounded over the stone* ' for the i.-round was uneven and rocky, left behind pot tionS of hair and fieshiihidt were collected the next day, and brought forward as )3r0011 4 of the horrid 1100. He had, previously To lowering the betty, ' stripped it. anti left the clothes behind,_ with the exception ore neckerchief. which he tnhought with hint hare purpose we shall iec by sad by. Ott reaching the spot called La Roche, it appears the thought first struck him of cutting the body in pieces (for he had made no previous preparations for this dreadful opera tion), and he then attempted to do jt with a small pocket knife, but in endeavouring to separate one of the anus at the shoulder, the blade turned and became useless. The blood spouted from the wound in great abundance, and covered this reverend de mon's face and clothes. Foiled in his purpose, he seethed to become delirious from disappointment and fear, and tying one of the feet of -his victim to a tree, he exerted all his herculean. strength to tear the body, limb from limb, but failing in this. he returned to the house for a wore tit instrument for dissection, the kitchen hatchet or clever. With this instrument he separat ed the thighs from the trunk, and threw them into a rapid stream that discharges itself into the Isere. Ile then lifted the mutilated trunk upon his shoulders, with which he hastened to. wards the Isere into which he plunged it. He then deposited on . the river side the neckerchief of poor Marie, in order to make it supposed that she had dnerow d herself. On returning to his house lie burned the clothes Of the murdered Marie, together with his own clerical robe, which was actually stained with blood, and threw the ashes into the privy. On reflecting if he had removed all traces of the crime, lie recollected, with dismay, that he had left the pocket-knife behind him.; he lin- inediately returned to the spot, but after the most minute search he could not find it.—The knife, which was produced at the trial, had already been found by a labourer, wheat the break of day was passing La Roche, and had his attention caught by a pool of blood, a bloody rope, and a black-handle knife lying by it. The knife he took up, but fearing it might bring him into trouble, he threw it into a bush. However, after going some distance, he returned, took up the knife a second time, washed it, and took it home with him.-A-When Alingrat's servant-maid appeared before him in the morning, she was pale, trembling, and bewildered. Mingrat, alarmed by her ap pearance, asked her abruptly what was the matter with her. The poor girl th oug h t in - vain to convince him that she bad seen or heard nothing, except-a few moans, which she ,sup. posed proceeded from himself being ill. The curate, how. ever, continuing to question her, the girl's fears got the better of her, she threw herself upon her knees, and join ing her hands, exclaimed in the most supplicating manner, " Oh, Sir, permit me to go away ; I can no longer bear it 1" This exclamation was a thunder clap for the curate ; lie clearly saw that this weak-minded superstitious, hot honest creature, was mistress of his life and secret. Ile got between her and the door, and after a few moments reverie, he seized her by the arm, and dragged her into the sanctuary, forced her down upon her knees on the steps of altar, .and then taking from the taberna cle the host, he put it into her hands, telling her she should either make up her mind to die, or take a most solemn oath upon the body and blood of Christ, never to reveal what she had seen or heard on the preceding night. The unfortunate girl, half dead with fear and horror, took the oath prescribed. After this extraordinary scene Mingrat resumed his tranquil lity. However, some days after, as sonic young shepherds were fishing in the stream which flows into the Isere, one of them, on drawing up his line, found a human thigh attached to it.— Alarmed at such a sight, they flew towards the village and told what had taken place. The authorities repaired to the spot, the thigh was recognised to be that of a young woman, and there, of course, was no longer any doubt as to Marie Gerin having been murdered.. As public.opinion pointed out 31ingrat as the assassin, he resorted to a last effort to remove suspicion from him. The authorities had ordered the thigh to be buried in the church-yard. Mingrat repaired thither, and ordered the thigh to be removed; saying it should not rest in consecrated ground, for Mario Geria:lititi committed suicide, and then, affecting to fall into a state of fanatical excitement, he ex claimed—" Yes I saw that she was possessed by the devil ! yes, by Satan, who carried her *ratty in his arms, and plunged with her into the abyss of hell ! Those who were present could contain no longer their indignation, but loudly cursed and hooted this hypocritical ruffian, the approbrium and horror of their cantors. The next morning, while Min grat was ettreakfaet, two Gensdarmes entered ; they were not charged to make him prisoner, but merely to watch his motions. He appeared dreadfully alarined; but entleavourea to cmiceal it, and invited them to partake of his breakfast. Before break fast was over the vicar of Zullin came in, and brought a Ailike r gro4his . Curate to Alinlrat ou the subject of the " The murmurs afloat respecting g thVa . seiti„a= r or w it e ie re man weigh heavily upon you—if yo u are gu il ty fl y i nsta ntly." . % Mingrat took the advice and fled. The M a y or sent the Gens. darmes in pursuit of him, bat Mingrat at over the frontier into Savoy before they could take him. They, however, gave a description of his person anti crime to some Piedmontese earbi neers, into whose hands he shortly after fell, and was conducted to the prison of Chamberry, from whence he has been transtered to the of Fe . nestrella. The Sardenian Government have constantly refused to deliver him up, though he hiss been condemned to 'death by the tribunal of Grenoble. The trial was heard with closed doors—a th ra er remarkable circumstance. A Grand Vicar of Grenoble went to visit him in the prison of Chambcrry. On Mingrat seeing him, lie threw himself at his feet and exclaiMed, " Ali, father ! I am guilty, pardon me !" This public avowal was not at all relished by the Grand ViCar, who immediately ordered those present to retire, when he bad a tete .a fete with the worthy curate. This Grand Vicar ran no little risk on his return to Grenoble ; for the people suppos ingahat he hail brought back Mingrat for the purpose of de livering him up 'to the law, attacked the Vicar's carriage, deter - mined to do justictrupon him themselves. To this detail of the facts of this horrible case, is annexed a letter written by the brother of Marie Gerin, in which , he says, before publishing this notice, I had recourse to every effort to bringahe guilty to punishment, but they have all proved fruit leeta Jiversy door has been shut again s t sae . ale poor sister's litiShand and myself bad a memorial presented to his Majesty. In the answer to which, signed by the Duke de la Charte; the King acknowledges'the justice of our demand; he assures us of his protection and justice, but invites us to fol low the usual and constitutional forms, and address ourselves to the Keeper of the Seals. This we did, accompanied by a copy of. the King's letter, but we have not been able to obtain an answer,from his Excellency.

The brother also complains, in this letter of the calumnies tittered against him, and the husband of his sister, by the country curates, whoaake part with Alingiat, and have not he s itated to attribute this crime to the brother and husband of the victim. The brother was not in the country when it took place. LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF CHANCERY, JULY 24. GORDON MID GORDON. In this case, which was partly heard on Friday, the Loan CliaNcELLon said he had read the petition of the plaintiff praying for a rehearing of the cause, on the ground that he had discovered certain facts, respecting the third mat?lage of the father, through whom the parties litigant claimed, in 1762. His Lordship said that the petitioner complained also of the effect of the verdict, on the trial of an issue at common law for the purpose of ascertaining the defendant's legitimacy. The Jury had found in favour of the defendant, and the petition ob jected to that finding. The petitioner complained also of the decrees made by the Court in 1816, 1817, and 1018, and sought to annul or to revoke them, on the ground that the petition on which they were made had never keen signed by the Chancel lor. This, after the lapse of so long a time, and the several decisions made by the Court, his Lordship could not grant, because the whole objection was one of technical informality, and nothing more. His Lordship then went on to state the course of the pleadings, and alluding to one.of the affidavits, directed that it should be re-sworn, and shown tor Mr. Heald, the plaintiff's Counsel. . .• • 11Ir.

Mr. (I URN Ev wished the case to proceed. Mr. Al AitnYATT said the' defence rested upon the two facts of the horse having been taken away without she knowledge or authority of the defendant, and that it hail been obtained from Cooper by Thomas' Thurtell without any intention of paying for it. There could be no doubt that if the latter fact should be pubstantiated, Thomas Thurtellishad: no property in the horse, and of course his assignees could have none. - Thurtell and his late brother John had told Cooper over and over again that it was never intended to pay him for the horse, and Tho mas Thurtell afterwards promised, that it should be returned to to him. He then called John' CoOper, who said, " I soldihe horse to Thomas Thur tell for t 5 guineas, and took .a bill.at one month, which bill was drawn by Probert, who was present at the bargain.

The bill was dishonoured. I saw the Thurtelim afterwards ; John laughed, and said I should never get a shilling, as he had told me before., and that I was a fool for letting the horse go. I waited a week longer, when I saw both of them again ; and Torn told me he wou hi not pay me at all, and added an indecent e xp r es s i on purporting that the bill was of no value. I had Thomas Thor tell arrested, and saw him after he was bailed. This was in August last year. lie asked why .• I put hint to expellee, •as I should never a shilling; and added, that if I had been quiet, he would - have give me the horse back. fie then fetched a bottle of wine, and said " Let us be friends; do you stay proceedings, and ray your own lawyer, and you shall have your horse again, provided you'll give a good character of me to any one who may intloire ; but I want the horse for a week longer. I did stay the proceedings, and asked. him. when. I should have the horse. lie Kidd in about a Week, and he went and 'hewed me where it was in How's stables.

Mr. Sergeant Pti.r. stated, that .this was an action brought . to recover cortipeintation for a malicious prosecution instituted by the defendant against.the plaintiff; on a charge of perjury, alleged to have been committed in an answer put in by Dlr. Conifer to a bill tiled against him in • the Court of Exchequer. The circumstances out of which the case had arisen were briefly these :—The plaintiff, in the year 1318, was in partnership w ith a. person mimed:Evans, anti they towther carried on the business of lea.dealerti and grocers. The defendant was en. • g a ged in ,the same business, and certain transactions took place between diem, in consequence of which they claimed from hint • a sum of 236/. Si. 11d. as for goods sold to him by them through the medium of a third person, of the name of Freeman. The defendant resisted the demand, and an action for that sum was commenced against hint, which was tried before Lord Chief Justice Dallas in 1819, and in which the plaintiff and Mr. Evans, his •then partner, recovered a verdict to the full' • amount of their claim. A motion was made in the Court of Common Please to set aside that verdict, but the result being unfavourable to the defendant, he brought a writ of error, which experiencing the same fate, he .filled a bill in the chequer, on the Equity side of that Court, for a discovery and stay proceedings. To that bill the plaintiff 'put in an answer, and it was dismissed. The defendant then•bled an amended bill, which was disposed of in the same manner. Defeated thus in every direction, the defindant then preferred an billet: . merit against the plaintiff at the Sessions for perjury Tung! in his i l s lo a t n p s r w e e ss r e t d o , tl on te into - the Court of King's Bench, and the r+•cord ' um d were such which e taken down for trial.; it WAR discovered that original bill. i T ift ha s t et i n u n d v ic et t i m i e t n b t y , c i r ) go ; w4rlti ported, and the plaintiff' was at (nice ob.. s il ta ar t i e a t a n c e e n s ts b i e n tw d ee le n an t s h w e 4 ay t e h g a a t tti(gainiiiivtialleciniut,tit,4,ltt.itiaie,nun_i_ti eta. should here observe, that the acquittal, th011,4!P!' , 11 1 jections, equally gave the. plaintitir.,‘ 1 7 00 1 tr ti " h he should be able to ttlicw 3 ,;;;,Yr . books, that ; proofs, namely, by the t1etee9 . 1,P,,, ai0 ....b v . 61w, least one part of the answer prove the Rau l:l l n s , fact, literally true- Al" 1 : 1 0'' "":1 1c , remainder of the answer. , . another manner, wi t h re c :X e r i ct P4 - 4.6 - bksircing, that when he The Learned St ! r g e2nt die•n u uratit - lie had :Awed, he. should , oj h w a u. d ryet: ll : t e a lofivio t n i viras i o o ti tt t,l l rs t ,e;l i a l; 444_ e nvr a ilier s o : 3o : : : :iv ' iech ,,, ot,, IhllaiaLvteex,nelititic,sitle the tl ed atr h p i;: t s iii g t; ' , e x .;la tA ll , n tb il a f, t, . • , 4( ab of which lieu. co ltii m lston pla g e tosl.don 1 5 1 0. ; :ri t sn t e : ::1 8 111 4 1 naily stt~;atsuntiate rc tilt l arTallge . arranged t h a t the owe sauult .b on the full d' ' owing con di_' this Court. against t V;',.:j orlt defendant, a .cause aimilar to this, when the ,Ivry - 0 4 ve N511.5(1 ° i :I t . b l at ti n'ilb a: 37l o Y n :f t i h s c e s st e d de tlam agrit the plaintil'- m b e y o t n h s i e s q a u r e r n a c n e g o t i m - tl e tes in e ._ tra it nsa j c u ti v o n7 and other ex ere ciunt's undertaking ten thought, that as the plaintiff's object u l t ' o . u a w : ia:y le s : Ae t y l i t i n e lt d e c i lo i t s:t i s o r n o e . l o l :2 l : l :i h n ci ll ta it:ri cte te r n s ts tino w tri h t: o l l. - trials, amounting to about 6001. pea • , The .Clll 1.
