EXTINITATINO CINCCIIBTANCRIL The exten-
uating circumstances a the French law court, are very
difficult of comprehension here. A peasant named /touches,
of St. Martin Longman, has been tried by the Court of
Mairea of the Otee for the murder of his wife. In the
evening of the 17th of July last, the woman having scolded
him for having, during her Arlene', gone out, and left the
door of their cottage unfasteiied, lie.becareelpwatly irritated,
and declared that lie would kill her if she did not bold her
tongue ; she, however, persisted, and he took down his gun.
In greet alarm she rushed out of the house, but he fired,
and the charge struck her in the back. She fell, bathed
in blood, but attempted to rise, and then he cried out," Ah,
tou wretch, I will finish you now," and he raised is gun
fire the second barrel at her ; but at this moment some
neighbour. rushed in and secured him. The woman lin-
gered until the Nth of August, and then expired. She re-
lated the preceding particulars, and added that on three
previous occasions the mon had attempted to munler her,
but that she had escaped frum him. The prisoner himself
admitted that for ten years be had been contemplating
killing his wife. Nevertheless, the jury declared that,
though he was guilty, there were extenuating circumstances
in his favour, and the court condemned bun to Myers'
hard Wolter.
