HONICIDI BY Immtuntscs.—A medical student
sod a retired apothecary, named respectively Delorme and
Bouctiamoat, were yesterday tried by the Tribunal of Coe.
rectional Police, on the charge of homicide by imprudence.
The circumstances of the case were somewhat singular. A
young girl, It years of age, daughter of respectable parents,
some time ago went astray, but after • while was seized
with remorse, and resolved to commit suicide. In July
last she called on • friend of her father's, and said, " I am
wretched ! I cannot continue the degraded life I have been
following for some time pot, and I will die I" The friend
remonstrated, and, as he thought, succeeded in persuading
her to abandon the intention of suicide. But • few days
after she called on Delorme, with whom she had been inti-
mate, and whilst conversing with him took up and tried
to open • phial containing some arsenical substance.
"Do not touch that," he cried, "It is poison." " Ah,"
cried she, with • strange smile, "I am sot afraid of poison."
It would appear, from what transpired afterwards, that she
contrived to secrete the phial, and then went away. Two
days later the girl committed suicide, and it turned out that
she had done so by means of the poison in question. The
phial having been traced to Delorme, he was arrested, and
to due coma brought to trial for his imprudence in having
let the girl get hold of the poison, and Bouceurnont far
supplying the poison to him, contriu7 to the regulation in
for... The former, in his defence, sad that be really did
Dot know Battle girl had taken the phis! ; awl the latter
affirmed that as Ddorme was • student of four years' stand-
ing, be had thought there was Do harm in letting him have
• poisonous substance, especially as he had required it to
make experiments. But the tribunal condemned each to
three months' imprisonment, and the latter, besides, to 501.
Tun Popg's OWL —A letter from Rome of the
18th nays :—" A great part of the Irish battalion of St.
Patrick has already embarked on its return to Ireland.
This battalion has been so called by the ROOMS on account
of the enormous sums that have been expended on bringing
It to Boss and equipping it ; the will el St. Patrick is the
Italian for the bucket of the Dodd's. This embarkation
will sestabout 50,000 francs. Everybody ui glad of their
departure; the disorders of this moop had become un-
heard* What they were is best learned from the
butchamkakem, and tavern keenecs. Never paid, and often
-
beats., the only reply they could get f rom them was • ap.
ply to Antenelli :he will pay you.' One day de Mcro&
presented Ishmael( at their barracks to address them ; but
be ens ohlird to run for his life."
