MARRYING - A RELEASED CONVICT.—The Imperial
Court of-Paris, presided over by its first president, M.
'Devienne, on Saturday gave judgment on appeal, in a
case of great social importance,-which has made con-
siderable stir in French legal circles. A respectable
girl, the daughter of a small tradesman, married a man
who turned out to have' been a convict. He was some
years ago found guilty, as an accessory, to a murder,
and sentenced to 15 years' imprisonment. A part of his
punishment was subsequently remitted, but not until he
had remained in prison eleven years. The wife had a for-
tune of 20,000 francs—a large sum for her station in life,
When she found out that her husband was a released con-
vict she brought a suit for nullity of marriage, and relied
upon art. 180 of the code, which declares a marriage void
when there is a mistake as to the identity of either of the
parties. The Court of the First Instance declared the
marriage good. Nevertheless, 31. Bethmont, the emi-
nent ex-batonnier, argued the case very urgently on
appeal, and insisted particularly that since the law, in
certain cases, actually relieved a woman from a marriage
on account of a conviction for felony against her hus-
band, it was to be presumed that when the fact of his
having been a convict was concealed, she would not
have married him had she known it. The answer to

this argument was that a conviction for felony, by re-
moving the husband from the wife, renders him incap-
able of fulfilling the duties of a husband. A released
convict is under no incapacity. The want of knowledge
of the antecedents of a man constitutes no mistake as to
the identity of his person. The Court of Appeal,
although it took time to consider, has confirmed the
judgment of the court below.
THE ROBBERY OF £9O AT SHEFFIELD.—WiIIiam
Moore IValters, aged 25 years, clerk, was charged at
Sheffield, on Monday, with robbing Messrs. Bassett and
Lodge, wholesale confectioners, of £9O. From the
evidence of Detective-officer Airey and Mr. Bassett, it
appeared that they concealed themselves near the
General Post-office on Saturday , morning ; and
about half-past ten o'clock saw the prisoner
approach the letter delivery office. Mr. Bassett
had difficulty in recognising the prisoner, in con-
sequence of his having shaved off his whiskers, reduced
the curls of his hair, and changed his outer- dress. A
'peculiarity in his, walk, however, left no doubt of his
identity, and Airey seized him. When seized, he ap-
peared almost paralysed for. a moment; but, after being
placed in a cab, quickly . recovered himself.. Airey,
observing a sinister changc'of his countenance, seized
his right hand, which he had ander his cape, and found
it to contain a loaded pistol. After a smart struggle,
Airey succeeded in wrenching the pistol from his grasp,
and also in getting a second loaded pistol from his
left pocket. When charged with .robbing Messrs. Bas-
sett and Lodge, the prisoner said, " It was a bad job ;
he was very sorry, but it was now too late." In a port-
manteau at the prisoner's lodgings was found £56 of the.
stolen money. A gold watch and guard, a ring, and
other articles he had purchased, were also taken pos-
session of. Walters had advertised in Bristol and other
papers,•offering £5 to anyone who would procure him a
situation; and had, therefore, no intention of leaving
the country. Before the magistrates the prisoner asked
no questions of the witnesses, and said nothing in his
defence. The court was crowded, and he appeared to
be a good deal affected.—He was committed for trial at
the sessions.

STRANGE AND FATAL OCCURRENCE IN EDINBURGH.
—On Saturday evening, the police authorities received
information of a remarkable occurrence that took place
in West Richmond-street,' Edinburgh. It seems that
this house was occupied by a' spirit dealer, named
John Bailey, who had been ill for some days past,
and was on Saturday confined to bed. His medical
adviser bad been attending him, and had given •
particular instructions that- he should be carefully
watched. About twelve o'clock, a friend of Mr.
Bailey's, named Robertson, called to see him, and
found that he had taken a quantity of morphia, much
to the alarm of Mrs. Bailey. Mr. Robertson sat by
the patient's bedside, and seeing that he was making
endeavours to get out of bed, restrained him from doing
so, • Mr. Bailey; who appeared to be in a desperate
state, then seized hold- of a razor, and endeavoured to
commit suicide by cutting his throat. He succeeded
in inflicting a terrible gash in his throat, upon which
Mr. Robertson, who grew faint and unnerved from
witnessing the occurrence, went out of the room
and proceeded down stairs. Mrs. Bailey also grew
unconscious upon hearing of the occurrence. In this
state of affairs a neighbour went off for medical as-
sistance, and on her return Mr. Robertson was found
lying dead in one of the rooms down stairs. His neck-
cloth was loosened, and on examination it was found
that he had expired from an attack of apoplexy.
Bailey was discovered still in bed, with his throat fear-
fully cut, and the razor lying close by ; but it was
found that the windpipe was not injured, and some, hope
of his recovery was entertained. Mrs. Bailey was re-
stored to consciousness, but is much broken down by the
casnalty,—tScotsman.
SUSPECTED MURDER IN GLASOOW.—OR Saturday
evening, the constable on duty observed a figure lying
at the foot of the stairs leading to a house in Back
Wynd, Glasgow, • which turned out to be that of
a woman named Mary Woods or Burke, a widow,
residing in the house, The woman, .who was bleed-
ing profusely from a wound' in the head, was
immediately conveyed to the police-office, and_ soon
after became perfectly unconscious, in which state
she remained till Sunday morning, when she died.
When in the police office, she was examined by two
medical men, and from their examination, it would
appear that she died from the effects of injuries received
from being thrown or having fallen down the stair, or
otherwise inflicted on her head. The case was at once
a

that on Saturday evening the son William had taken
into the house the woman Wilson, who, it is said, is at
present separated'from her husband. To this proceeding
his mother objected, and the other son coming in, a
" row" ensued, the result of which was that the old
woman was either thrown or fell down the stair, where
she lay till discovered by the constable, and in conse-
quence of which she has been deprived of life. The
case, as it stands, has assumed a very serious aspect as
regards some of the parties in custody—an aspect which
is rendered only the more dark from the fact that
drinking bad been somewhat indulged in before the
fatal occurrence happened. The Authorities have sac-
ceded in finding a hammer, on which are stains of
blood, and which, it is alleged, was used (Wring the
