PARIS, TIII7IIIIIDAT Svzinee.
Half-a-dozen of the men arrested in the night
of January 5 and 6, in front of the Chateau d'Eau
Barracks, were brought to trial yesterday. Ac-
cording to the evidence of the military and police
the affair was even more serious than the original
reports inferred. It will be recollected that during
the intense frost of the early part of January a
number of people were sliding in front of the
barracks, and that, being interrupted in their
amusement by a sergeant's guard marching through
them, they insulted the soldiers. The unlikely
story that the men arrested were most of them
old convicts, which I discredited at the time, is
not confirmed. The six men selected for prosecution
out of many others were young mechanics and
tradesmen without any " judicial antecedents." The
indictment charged them with having uttered sedi-
tious cries, to wit, "Vive Garibaldi !" " Down
with Veuillot !" " Down with the Mobile Guard
" Now is the time to try the Chaasepots !" with
having sung the Mareeillaise, and with having
hooted and assaulted the police. Sergeant Fontana,
of the 24th Regiment, who commanded the guard
that was coming home to barracks, deposed that.
several men who were sliding across the road which
they had to pass received them very badly, said
disagreeable things, and complained of being dis-
turbed in their sliding. He seized one individual by
the collar, and thrust him as a prisoner into the
centre of his men. He was followed by several people
who kicked him on the legs. Thereupon he halted
his men, and ordered them to fix bayonets.
Immediately afterwards an officer came out fri•ni
the barracks and ordered him to set his prisoner at
liberty. Adjutant-Major Mathiot, of the 24th,
said that the barrack doles being mobbed by an
angry crowd of some 1,500 people he harangutd
the mob, and the greater part yielding to his adviie
went home ; but that after he went back a number
of men still hung about the door and called for
"the sergeant's head." The attitude of the crowd
was very hostile—windows were broken by pieces
of ice being thrown at them, and they sung the
" blarseillaise." A police-inspector deposed that ho
was sent for to disperse the crowd. He heard cries of
Vive la Republique !" " Vire Garibaldi:" and
was told that the " Marseillaise had been sin:.
He had no hesitation in saying that there was the
commencement of an eurentc, and it was only owing
to his resolution and the efficient aid he reetit,d
from his scrgents-de-ville that it was put doe n. The
court acquitted the prisoners on the count of sedi-
ditious cries, but found five of them guilty
" word's" exciting to the commission of one or more
misdemeanours, and of insulting and assaulting the
police, and for these offences sentenced them sete-
rally to terms of imprisonment varying from pit
weeks to fifteen days. The sixth man, agai:ht
whom nothing was proved but that he
him " a prohibited arm "—namely a pi wket poniard
—was only sentenced to pay a fine of lefr. It
would appear that the most guilty persons, who
stormed the barracks and assaulted the military,
were not caught.
The annual selection of prize oxen for the pro-
menade of the Ilieuf-Gras took place at the La
Vitiate market yesterday. Out of 17 copetitors,
13 belonged to the Norman breed, andm 4
