His hair had been covered with some clammy substance, over which copper filings had been sprinkled, so that it was stiff and brilliant; feathers had been stuck in it, to form a sort of diade m ; his face was daubed with paint of different colours; he had on a necklace formed of corks cut round, and covered with gilt paper ; his shirt was worn over his clothes, and was ornamented with ara besques in red paint ; his trowsers were raised so as to leave his legs bare, and the legs, as also his neck and hands, were painted of a chocolate colour. Near him was a bundle containing his stockings, cravat, coat, &e. He was- fast asleep, and, on being awakened, manifested the greatest astonishment at finding himself in such a place and in such a guise. Being taken to the nearest guardhouse, and questioned, he stated that he was a well-to-do farmer in the department of the Aisne, and had long been tormented with a desire to see Paris. Having collected a sum of money, hq had come to the capital for the Emperor's fete, and remained there ever since. The day before he was found so strangely accoutred he went to the Jardin des Plantes, and sat down on a bench to rest himself. Shortly after a young man of gentlemanly appearance, who was reading a book, seated himself by his side. They got into conversation, and he related to the young man what he had seen in Paris, but expressed great regret that he had not been able to fall in with the Siamese Ambassadors. " How lucky it is that we have met I" cried the young man. " The Ambassadors are this very evening to visit a naval surgeon of my acquaintance, who cured their Queen of the hooping cough : and if you like I wilt take you to his house'!" The farmer at first hesitated to accept the stran ger's offer, but the latter pressed him so courteously that he consented. An apfointment to meet in the evening in the Place du Pantheon, was made, and both the farmer and the young man were punctual. The latter led the coun tryman up and down several obscure streets, and then en tered a house in which there was concierge. In one apart ment to which he was introduced the farmer found several young man drinking and smoking, and he was induced to drink with them. After a while be was shown through a hole in the door several persons male and female dressed in strange costumes, and was told that they were the ambas sadors and their wives, but that he could not to be admitted to them unless he would consent to have certain changes made in his dress. He at first refused, but at last after being well plied with wine, submitted. His toilette having been completed he was introduced to the ambassadors. They courteously entered into a conversation with him through an interpreter, and then insisted that he should partake of their refreshments. What he ate, he said, was very strange, and what he drank still more so. At last the Ambassadors notified that they were so.pleased with him that they would decorate him with the Order of the White Elephant; but they said, that in accordance with the custom of their country, he must first chase one of them down stairs, and succeed in catching him. He made no objection., and one of the ambassadors rushed down stairs, and the farmer puttied. But on reaching the bottom, the outer door was suddenly opened, and he was pushed out ; the door was then closed on him, and a moment rifler a bundle containing the articles of dress he had taken off wag dropped from a window. He knocked loudly at the door, but received no reply. He therefore went away and walked about until overcome with fatigue and the fumes of drink, he sat down to rest. He soon fell asleeß, and remained so until found by the police. After he had told this singular story he was made to count his money. He said that not a sou had been taken from him. It was thus clear that he had only been made the victim of a practical hoax, and it is cii,,ught likely that tne perpetrators of it were students." PERSECUTION. The Minister of Justice in Belgium, M. Tesch, has, says the Brussels journals, been made the victim of a singular piece of persecution. He some time ago dismissed aM. Mastricau from the post of clerk to the judge de pain at Brussels, and the dismissed official having money and time to spare, resolved to be avenged. M. Tesch, having obtained leave of absence, proceeded to Ostend. On entering a rail way carriage he was followed by M. Mastricau, who, after bowing politely, seated himself by his side. To the hotel at Ostend at which the Minister put up, M. Mastricau also went ; when the Minister bathed in the sea he saw M. Mastricau doing the same at a few yards from him ; if he took a walk on the dyke, Mastricau was seen to follow him; when he visited the casino, there he found his pur suer ; in short, wherever he went the discharged clerk either met or followed him. At last M. Teach became seriously alarmed lest his persecutor should commit violence, and at his request M. Mastricau was placed under the surveillance of a police officer and a gendarme. But to be constantly followed by those two men seemed not to annoy Mastricau in the least, and he continued as before to throw himself constantly in M. Tench's way, and to salute him pro- I foundly, afterwards bowing with the utmost politeness both to the policeman and the gendarme. At length the perse cution to which the Minister was subjected became known in the town, and excited much amusement among the visitors. Whenever M. Teach appeared, with Mastricau in attendance, and the latter followed by the gendarme and policeman, the visitors wished to see the fun, and formed lines for them to pass through, at the same time laugh ing loudly. A few days back, M. Mastricau, whilst pursuing his victim, took it into his head to salute the people on either side of him ; this increased their amusement, and they raised loud cheers. M. Tesch, who, as may be supposed, was greatly irritated, hurried away to escape, but Mastricau kept close to him, and the crowd fol lowed; the Minister at last fairly took to his heels, but Mastricau ran likewise—the gendarme and policeman fol lowing, and the crowd after them. Eventually, amidst shouts of laughter, the Minister sought refuge in the Casino. In the dead of night he left for Baden, but to his horror and dismay, the first person he saw on entering the conversation room after his arrival, was M. Mastricau, who, hat in hand and smiling agreeably, saluted him with great gravity. The Brussels journals go no further with the story. THE MURDER IN DEAN FOREST.—On Monday the four men charged with the murder of Samuel Beard, a sergeant in the Gloucestershire Constabulary stationed in Dean Forest—Thomas Cooper, George Cocper, Thomas Gwilliam, and Richard Roberts—were brought up before the magistrates of the district of Littledean Prison. Our readers will remember that at the coroner's inquest two of the men accused described the whole of the particulars con nected with the man's death, but the public will be surprised to hear that, notwithstanding all that has been made public, and that the clergyman of the parish and another person in no way connected in the case, were allowed to be present, the reporters were ordered to withdraw. Our correspondent at Gloucester adds :—" The four prisoners, strongly guarded, were brought to the County Prison this morning, and I have ascertained that they have all been committed for wil ful murder, and that little, if any, additional evidence was given before the magistrates."— Weston Daily Press. ROYAL ORTHOPCEDIC HOSPITAL.—The half-yearly court of the governors of this institution for the treatment of club-foot, spinal, and other deformities, was held yester day at the hospital, Oxford-street; Mr. Quarles Harris in the chair. The report, which was read by the secretary, gave a satisfactory account of the progress of the institution, and showed that 27,812 persons had been relieved by it since its formation, of whom 1,105 were received during the past year. Many of the patients were 50 years old and up - wards, and some afflicted in almost every limb, and al though a perfect cure could not be effected in every in stance, all derived material benefit, and several of them were successfully treated after enduring severe and even helpless deformity for many years. In younger patients the cures in ordinary cases have been most complete, some who a few years ago entered the wards of the hospital crip pled pauper boys now serving as sailors and soldiers, while in the case of very young children the treatment adopted is the means of preventing as well as curing deformities, of which there are thousands of instances. Although the re ceipts have increased during the past year, the expenses have been very considerable, as various improvements have been made in the building, &c., and the funds are inade quate for the reception of upwards of 200 applicants, who are waiting to be admitted m to th dcult of cure e wards, and w thee longer cases ar e every day becoming ore t they have to wait. Several liberal donations have been re ceived by the committee in furtherance of their efforts to pay off a portion of the mortgage debt. The report having been adopted, and some further business of a mere formal he c h arac t er transacted, a vote of thanks was passed to t c h at i rmau , and the proceedings terminated. THE NATE The preparation of the ironwork for the Achilles, 50, which has been in progress for several weeks past, having considerably advanced, a commence ment has at length been made in the construction of that vessel in the second dock at Chatham, where the first portion of the keel was successfully laid down yesterday afternoon. Although a great deal of apparent delay in building the Achilles has taken place, this has arisen solely in consequence of this having been the first iron ship to be built at Chat ham, which necessitated the building of large addi. tional workshops and factories, together with the erection of powerful engines and machinery, none of which were required in the ordinary shipbuilding ' operations at that establishment. All the prelimi nary operations have at length been got over. The work will now be carried on uninterruptedly until the vessel is completed, which it is anticipated will be in less than two years. As many as 1,000 hands are to be employed on her, and as fast as good mechanics offer themselves at the doekyard they are engaged. The screw gunboats Rose, Traveller, Escort, Raven, Amelia, Blazer, and Grinder, comprising the first division of the reserve at Portsmouth, have commenced landing their smooth bore guns along side the gunwharf, each receiving in return, as her permanent armament, one 100-pounder and one 40- pounder Armstrongs. The horsepower (nominal) of their engines is 60 each veirl. 4. The Vigilant, 6, "eacnw deiVatcil vessel, is ordered to be advanced from the second to the first class re serve at Portsmouth, to fill up the vacancy caused by the commission of the Pelican, 17, screw. The War Department transport Petrel landed at the Ordnance-wharf, Chatham, yesterday, 250 cases of the 100-pounder Armstrong shells, together with other stores, from Woolwich. The Petrel after wards commenced shipping a 100-pounder Arm strong gun and 20 8-inch 60cwt. cast iron gnus for the Orpheus, 21. The following appointments were made yesterday at the Admiralty :—Lieut. R. Sterne, to the Royal Adelaide; Sub-Lieuts. B. Moore and A. J. Erring ton, to the Malacca; J. L. Hoare and M. R. M.

The following official circular has just been issued from the War-office, by direction of the Secretary of State for War : " It being necessary that the greatest possible care should be taken for the preservation of the bores of cast-iron guns, the Secretary of State for War desires that in future all land service guns, which are in stations where they are rarely, if ever, exercised at sea service, guns which are in cabins and sick bays,.together with all guns in store, are to have their bores lacquered or painted, as lacquer may not always be available, and care taken that they are in a proper state. "It is not considered necessary that guns which are in constant use should be lacquered in the same manner as those above referred to, but it is desirable that they shoniti be occasionally coated in the interior, near the muzzle, to preserve them from corrosion. ,4 It is to be understood that the foregoing rules do not prevent any relaxation of the usual precautions now ob served in regard to the preservation of cast .iron ordnance. "ALEX. TuLLou, Director o! Ordnance." The troops stationed in Portsmouth garrison were brigaded on Southsea-common at 3 pm. yesterday, under the command of Major-Gen. Lcrd W.

The range, which is being rapidly brought into a complete state, is situate near the sea, the site being either fine sand or turf, ' The discharge of time-expired men, as well as of those who, from long service in India, China, and the colonies, have been rendered unfit for further service, still continues at Chatham. Yesterday no less than 84 non - commissioned officers and men of various cavalry and infantry regiments, all of who m had previously undergone an examination by the medical staff at Fort Pitt, and had subsequently been inspected by the Commissioners of Chelsea Hospital, left St. Mary's Barracks and received their fall discharge from the service. At the same time 30 men of efferent corps, who had been sent up to Chatham to be discharged, left the invalid establishment and proceeded to their various depots, the examination of them having satisfied the autho rities that they were fit for further military service. The dismantling of the forts and batteries at Chatham by the removal of the old and worn-out guns with which many of the works are defended, is being proceeded with by the party of Royal Artillery under the direction of the master-gunner of the garrison. The guns and howitzers, as they are dismounted, are returned into the Ordnance stories, from which they will not be again issued. Yesterday the Royal Artillery completed the re moval of the 24-pounder guns from the top of the casemates at St. Mary's, most of which have been lying there for a great number of years, without ever firing so much as a blank cartridge. The small 18-pounders, with which the old tower battery at Prince's-bridge, Gillingham, built in the reign of Charles 1., was armed, have also been removed. None of the batteries or forts thus dismounted will be again armed, the new line of fortifications about to be commenced at Chatham, as well as those building mid-distant between Chatham and the Nore, being considered amply sufficient for the pro tection of the dockyard and garrison should any hostile•attempt -be-made upon them. The Royal Artillery are expected to be occupied about a fort night longer in dismounting the guns at Chatham, so great is the number that have become perfectly useless. THE BRITISH ASSOCIATION. MANCHESTER, THURSDAY. This morning the various sections met at the Royal Institution, the Free Trade Hull, 0 wen's Col lege, the Mechanics' Institution, and the Sweden borgian schools. SECTION F.—ECONOMIC SCIENCE AND STATISTICS. This section met in the Assembly Room of the Free Trade Hall. Lord Monteagle, one of the vice presidents of the section, took the chair, in the ab sence of Professor Newmarch, the president, from illness, and in consequence the inaugural address of the president was not delivered. Mr. T. BAZLEY, M.P., read a paper on the cotton trade, of which the following is an abstract :e---A century ago the population of Manchester was less than 30,000, while now it is 350,000 ; and as a centre of business it influences and contributes to the wel fare and prosperity of at least three times that num ber of human beings. Manufacturing population began slowly to afford by hand labour profit to those who had entered upon it. " Manchester cotton" had obtained a celebrity in Europe, but in reality these goods were mixed fabrics sold under that designa tion, for at the time referred to Indian muslins,white and printed, the pure production of cotton alone, were in great repute. Almost simultaneously Watt gave available power to the steam engine ; Har greaves, Arkwright, and Crompton invented their spinning machines ; the power-loom was the result of Dr. Cartwright's genius ; the fly-shuttle came from Kay, of Bury ; Heathcote's genius contributed he wonderfnl mechanism by which lace was essen tially taken from hand labour by the no rel power of water or steam, and Nixon originated calico printing in the vicinity of London: Supplies of raw cotton had been procured from the Levant, and from the British East and West Indies; but by a singular coincidence, whilst Crompton was engaged with his invention and maturing the spinning mule at the. Hall in the Wood near Bolton, Seabrook, an Anglo-Saxon in South Caro lina conceived the possibility of successfully growing cotton in the States of America. He attempted and succeeded. He obtained his experimental seed from the Bahama Islands, and availing himself of the negro labour left as the legacy of Great Britain he introduced into his country an agricultural in dustry, which has only been surpassed by the trade dependent upon it in this country. With the auxi liaries already mentioned, the people of IVlanchester and the neighbourhood commenced the career which has resulted in the amazing increase of their numbers and of their wealth. Yet there were diffi culties to be surmounted. The roads of Laneashiie had not been much changed from those formed by our Roman onquerors. The Duke of Bridgewater constructed a canal, opening a water communica tion between Manchester and Liverpool, and at the same time opened out the coal mines of Worsley. During the last 50 years upwards of 20 billion pounds weight of cotton from all sources have been consumed in Great Britain, and the value would be probably not less than seven hundred and fifty millions sterling; and on a fair computation has yielded a profit of not less than a thousand millions pounds sterling to the people of the United King dom within that period. The wonder is that so large a supply of cotton could be procured from that one source, the United States. During the last year the consumption of cotton in Great Britain was 85 per cent. from the United States, 8 per cent. from other foreign sources, and 7 per cent. from British terri tory. With the growth of this industry, five mil lions of our population have become directly and indirectly dependent upon it for their subsistence. The present position of the trade is most pre carious and dangerous. Existing stocks and prospective supplies of cotton may enable the mills to be worked till the spring of next year at moderately full time, but afterwards un less supplies be received from the United States, independent sources can only furnish the means of keeping the mills at:work little more than one day in the week. That the cotton trade should have rested chiefly upon the one supply of the States of America for its very means of existence every good and wise man has deplored, but that, to produce that supply, the portion of the human family which is most defenceless should be held in the degradation of slavery is abhorrent to the feel ings of the righteous, the humane, and benevolent. In the suppression of slavery a great moral triumph has been achieved by this country, but from that benevolent act an evil has arisen hi the attempts to extinguish the slave trade. Most extensively to suppress slavery will be to supersede the necessit y for the labour of the slave. The cost of Great Bri tain's fleet to suppress slavery, besides the loss of many lives, amounts to little less t han one million pounds sterling per annum. Probably half that sum would offer'as effectual a barrier to slavery as the whole of it, and if the other had been or could be devoted in aid of agricultural products by negro labour, the vile system of slavery m i g ht be speedily terminated. Of the commercial policy of the United States censures can scarcely be too severe. In the Northern States protection prevails, and the people of the South have been compelled to pay extrava gant and monopolist prices for the manufactures produced by their own agricultural labour, and which, in the form of cotton, has been relieved in this country from every tax. The North has robbed the South by unjust exactions, and the South has robbed the negro of life and liberty. Partial and unjust government , has at length reap e d th e f ru it of convulsion, and,ior which unjust p o li c y h a d sown the seed. In addition to these grave reasons, which mainly affect the morality of the Staters, this coun try has been paying a tribute of five million pounds sterling per annum to those States in excess of the price at which cotton could be remuneratively pro duced and sold. With the convu l s i on w hi c h e x ists in . America, with the adverse commercial policy dominant there, and with the inhuman system of slavery which prevails in the cotton-producing districts, what are the duties which devolve upon our governing and mercantile classes? With the East and West Indies, with tracts in South-east and W r est Africa, and with land in Australia as extensive as Europe, capable of growing cotton from the lowest to the highest qualities, it is a The following letter on the supply of Om has been extensively circulated in the South : " New Orleans, July 29.

On whom must we depend for emancipation of our industry? The governing power has an in tense interest in the employment and prosperity of the labouring classes. - Capitalists generally help themselves, but the labourer is a dependent being. Government mnst set its house in order. Land grants for beneficial purposes should be free, faci lities afforded for emigration, public works pro moted, and prosperity will follow in the trade. Capitalists, merchants, and manufacturers, whose investments are largely embarked in the cotton trade, have duties devolving upon them, and they ought not to assume that the commerce of their country, the labourers, and the markets are crea tions for their solo benefit, for with their advantages and privileges the duties which they owe their coun try cannot be dispensed with. These bodies are known to have large investments in foreign rail ways, in the cultivation of sugar and other pro ducts, and in many dubious securities, but in the cultivation of the staple raw material of their own pursuits they have not ventured to embark. Last year the cotton trade contributed to ,capital and labour 50 million pounds sterling ; and in the last 50 years the aggregate re ward has been 1,000 millions. Surely from these treasures might be spared some pittance of capital to free the negro and to ensure still greater prosperity to industry. Sup posing the Government of our country to be willing to make all the prelithinary arrangements which will contribute to the security and profit of capital invested in cotton growing, the clear duty of the class referred to will be to enter upon investments with no niggard hand, and for their encouragement it may be stated that very recently an extensive Louisiana cotton planter has asserted that he could grow cotton at 3d. per lb. which is now worth 91 per lb. in Liverpool, and of course he has had to buy his labourers and afterwards to sustain them. The confessed profit is 200 per cent. ; but in all sobriety of judgment cotton-growing would afford 100 per cent. of recompense. Upon this subject the warning voice has been long and often heard. and the present embarrassment in cotton supplies has been anticipated. Having, therefore, been fore warned, may this great and world -benefiting in dustry be forearmed. Mr. Alderman NEELD then read a paper contain ing an account of the prices of printing cloth and upland cotton from 1812 to 1860. A discussion followed, professedly on the two papers, but which wholly related to the former. Cob SYKES, M.P,, said it was a mistake to sup pose that there was any difficulty with regard to landed tenure in India. The cultivator, as long as he paid the land tax, had a right to cultivate his land as he liked, and recently the tax had been fixed for a period of 30 years. It must be remembered that Government could not produce cotton ; it must be produced by the cultivator, and it was a question of price with him. If he could cultivate sugar or any other product with greater profit than cotton he would certainly do so. No doubt cotton could be produced in India in any quantity, but it was a question of price. Queensland had been spoken of, but it was a desert. Thero were only some 20,000 or 30,000 inhabitants. It could also be grown to a great extent on the West Coast of Africa, and there was a society called the African Aid Society, which was promoting the cultivation of cotton in tha district. EXTRAORDINARY TRIAL IN FRANCE. Mr. H. Ashworth, Mr. Malcolm Ross, Mr. E. Ashworth, Mr. Gregson, and Mr. Napier also joined in the discussion, which turned principally upon the subject of land tenure in India. At the con clusion w vote of thanks, on the motion of Colonel Sykes, was given to Mr. Bazley and Mr. Alderman Neeld for their papers. A paper was then read by Dr. STRANG on the altered condition of the embroidery manufacture of Scotland and Ireland since 1857. Mr. H. AsUwoRTII read a paper on the connexion of the improvements in cotton bleaching with im provements in the condition of the factory popula tion.

ACCOMMODATION OF THE CORN TRADE AT BIR KENHEAD.—The Mersey Docks and Harbour Board at their weekly meeting held yesterday, agreed to construct new corn warehouses at Birkenhead at an estimated cost of about £60,000, exclusive of the internal machinery. Those Nof, houses whgn completed will provide storag e for 10o;VI" quarters of grain. On the 27th of May last, at six o'clock in the morning, a poor old woman, named Champfort, who was milking her cows in her stable, was struck down suddenly by two blows from behind. She fell, shrieking for aid, but managed to turn round and recognise her murderer. It was a young man, aged Leopula Parisot, who had come to ner the pre vious day to ask for work, and had been at once ad mitted to her table. The murderer was soon arrested ; but suspicions were excited that Parisothad accom plices in his crime, and on August 24 five persons were brought up at the Court of Assizes de l'Aube. These weige, first, Leopold Parisot ; second, Marie Rosalie Dornon, wife of a butcher named Virey ; Mario Jeanne Champfort, wife of a farmer named Gamier, and the two husbands. It came out on in vestigation that the woman Gamier was an object of terror to all the inhabitants of her district from her irregular life and revengeful character. It was found also that she had been prosecuted for procuring abortion and. robbery. The evidence went to show that the woman G arnier and her husband had offered Leopold Parisot a sum of money to murder the poor old woman, their mother. In his previous examina tion Parisot at first denied the crime, but ultimately confessed his guilt. According to the charge the woman Gamier had contemplated the crime for some time, and had proposed it to several people, amongst others to a servant named Henault, with whom she maintained an adulterous connection ; on his refusal, she applied to the two Vireys, and they got Parisot to consent to do the murder for a consi deration. Parisot himself had been formerly con victed of robbery. After his release from prison he went to the house of the Vireys, and was at last persuaded to commit the crime by the woman Virey, with whom he was on terms of improper in timacy, Whilst he was hesitating, on the very day of the murder, Virey came to him with a bottle of brandy, made him drunk, and directed him to kill the old woman. On examination Parisot said, " I got into the house by the garden. I had no arms. I took up a large stake. The woman Champfort was in her stable milking. I struck her twice on the back of her head and she fell. Her fall shocked me so I could not do any more, and I ran away." On being cross-questioned as to the complicity of - the Vireys, he persisted in the assertion that all he had stated respecting . them was true. The Vireys and the Garniers denied the charge. M. Pierre Urbaine Simonneau, priest at Cur rangy, gave the following evidence :—" Early in 1860 Madame Champfort came to me to apprise me of her intention to bequeath part of her fortune to the Church. I asked her to reflect, reminding her that she had a daughter and a grandson. She said, My daughter shall have nothing from me ; she has dishonoured me ; she even tried to strangle me, and but for her father would have done so_' The day of the crime a person said to me, It is not very wonderful ; she has been sold and paid for some time.' On the 3d June following Madame Champ fort told me that she had acquainted her daughter with her determination to disinherit her, and she said, ' She did not kill me then ; but mind, sir, I shall not die a natural death.' Isidore Henault , in the servic e of the Garniers, i — th " l‘ F la 9 d r a h m o e ni G e a have I been have y ar e t a ii r e s r l , odnepintimate t f e o r ll m ow s w s several times assisted in carrying out her views of vengeance. She had conceived a violent hatred against her mother, becaase'she wished to disinherit her. Several times she spoke to me about killing her, and offered me I,ooof. to do it. Ono day during the fair at Euiy, she took me with her to her mo ther's house, and had with her a rope to strangle her with. We were to throw her in the well, and • put her sabots by the side to make believe she had committed suicide. On reaching the house I refused to enter and went off." A woman named Richard was the next witness. She said—" One ckty the woman Virey brought the woman Gamier to my house. After a little conversa tion the latter said to me that I passed for a wise wo man, and that if I could find some means to cause her mother's death she would pay me well. The next day she came again. She told me that her mother wished to disinherit her, and that she would gladly give me I,ooof. if I could get rid of her. Some days afterwards she took me into the counting-hous e of the Vireys. Her husband was present. S 111) offered to write me out a cheque for 2,000 f.. if I would kill her mother. When I refused she said, Be quick, mere Richard, for she is g oing t s o ev give everything to the priest.' She came to to kill her times afterwards to try and get he m b e ad gone her mother. She also told me tbt! t t h s a rope, but that self to strangle her motherhwi barking of the dogs." r she had been prevented by e n the jury returned a After an hour's deliberatio , old Leopo Parisot the verdict of guilty against woman Virey c • • woman Gamier, and the acquitting two latter. ph' President the husbands ofthe Gamier to the the woman Punishment condemned ordered that she of death, and . should be conducted to the place of execution en chemi se, with her feet bare, and her head covered with a black veil. Parisot and the woman' Virey are condemned to h ar d labour for life. The fury signed a petition reco mmending the woman Gamier to mercy.
