CRIME IN FRAN-CC—The Court of Anises of the
Loire three dart ago tried a peasant named Benoit
Ogler, at Hendon, for the murder of his brother
Antoine. This Benoit was very avariciona, and his
brother was idle and extravagant. Great animosity
existed between them, •nil they frequently quarrelled.
The ill-feeling between them wee increased in May last
by Antoine having sold a field which he poweened, and
which jun brother wanted to buy, to another perron,
who gave • better price for it : also by his having taken
legal proceedings to obtain from his mother • share of
certain property to which hewn, entitled. On the rith
iif May the mother, on returning home from church, wan
horrified to find Antoine lying dead in his bed, with
a gunshot wound in his head. Ile had evidently,
(rein the position in which lie wu and from the state
of the bed, been abet deal as he wan lying Weep. Some
drawers were broken open, and the thinp which they
contained were !scattered about, but notwithstanding
nothing was stolen. Benoit, however, pretended that
his watch had been taken from the drawer, but the
watch wan nubsequently seen in his poeseesion. This,
combined with the fact that he was the only person who
bcre ullwiil to his brother, caused him to be ins-
pected. It wall recollected he had been alone with him
in the lionise in the morning, and that while he was
no the report of a gun had been heard ; also that the
dogs had not been heard to bark—a thing they would
certainly have done if a stranger had entered the house.
The jury declared the man guilty, but with extennatang
circumstances, and he was condemned to 12 years hard
labour.
