The text of the judgment of the Court of
Grenoble in the care of Roux v. Armand, is now
published. It bears out the telegraphic summary
of it and calls for little 00111111811 t. The court
declines to go into the merits of the case, con-
sidering all the facts in issue as conclusively
disposed of by the verdict of the jury. The jury
acquitted M. Armand, not only of a murderous
assault but also of having " wilfully " struck a
blow. Taking the common sense view of the
matter the court says that the verdict is indi-
visible—that if (which cannot now be legally
disputed) Armaud did not strike a blow with
a criminal intent, be did not strike one at
all, and that it would be absurd to hold, as the
plaintiff pretends, that he committed an assault
" involuntarily." The verdict shows necessarily
not only that Armand did nothing " criminal," but
that be was not the " author" of the act imputed
to him.

Drs. Nilaton and Rayer have been sent for to

Crown 'Prince, who is in a very delicate state of

The conscience of strict catholics hav been
greatly shocked by the news that the Prillee Im-
perial's banquet to 120 schoolboys was given on a
Friday—a day on which, according to the rules of
the church, no flesh should be eaten. It has been
endeavoured to attenuate the serious character of
this event by the remark that children under seven
years of age are not required to abstain. But it is
to be feared that many of the young Prince's guests
were much older. The Opinion Nationale thus
treats of the matter : _ .

The Europe of Frankfort (cited by the French
journals) says that M. Thiers intends in the debate
on the address to attack the convention of Sept.
16; but at the same time to defend the principles of
the concordat. From the same authority we learn
that M. Emile 011ivier proposes to reply to M.
Thieve, and at the same time to pronounce a phi_
lipplo against nitramontanist doctrines.
The Bourse has been heavy. Rents fell 100.,
