A curious case has just come before the Correc-
tional Tribunal of Chinon (Indre-et-Loire). MM.
T— and C, wine dealers, of Bordeaux, were tried on a
charge of having fraudulently endeavoured to compel M.
Foucqueteau to receive a quantity of wine under pretext
that it had been ordered by his father. It appeared from
the statement of counsel, that C— arrived at Chinon on
Nov, 2 last, a few hours after the sudden death of M. Fouc-
quetein, president of the Tribunal of that town, and that
he determined to take advantage of that circum-
stance to effect the sale of a quantity of wine, by pretending
that M. Foucqueteau had ordered it just before his decease.

He accordingly addressed the following letter to his partner
at Bordeaux:—" I send you my orders No. 72, 73, and 74;
I have not yet finished at Chinon. Remember that, as to
No. 72, it is a second edition of the order at Angierssl On
the following day T— sent off a quantity of wine amount-
ing to 1,339 fr. and at the same time he wrote to Mr.
Feucqueteau a letter containing the bill, and expressing his
hope that the wine would give satisfaction. As the letter
arrived when M. Foucqueteau, jun., was in great distress
on account of his father's death, no attention was paid to it,
but when the wine arrived a week later, he refused to receive
it, and after examining his father, and making inquiries
among his friends, ho became convinced that the order
had never been given. Several letters passed between him
and the defendants, but as they contained state-
ments which he knew to be false, he persisted in his refusal,
and commenced proceedings against them. In court, C—
admitted that no order had been given, and expressed his
regret that he had yielded to a momentary impulse, though
he could not see that he had done anything very wrong.
The president, after expressing his astonishment at hearing
such an opinion uttered by a person who wished to be
thought a respectable man of business, asked the defendant
what be meant by saying in his letter of the 2d November
that the order No. 72 was a second edition of the order at
Angers." The defendant C---- replied :—" Two years ago

I met a commercial traveller who told me that when at
Angers he happened to see a grand funeral pass along the
street, and finding that the deceased was a man of great
property whose fortune would all go to distant relations,
he determined to send a good lot of wine to him under pre-
tence that ho had been ordered. The wine was received
by the heirs of the deceased, who paid for it and
became excellent customers from that time. The
recollection of this fact induced him to try the same trick on
M. Foucqueteau." He deolined giving the traveller's name
The President remarked that it would be to the defendant's
interest to give the name, as from the manner in whch he
alluded to the order in the letter of Nov. 2, it would seem
that the defendant himself had played the trick at Angers.
The defendant denied this, but persisted in his
refusal to name the traveller. The other defen-
dant declared that he at first considered the order
genuine, but soon afterwards learned that it was not so
The Public Prosecutor pressed for a conviction against both
defendants, but admitted that T- was less to blame than
the other. The Tribunal having declared the charge proved
against both defendants, condemned C- to a fortnight's
imprisonment with 200 fr. fine, to a week's imprison-
ment with 100 fr. fine, and both conjointly to the costs.

A petition signed by 13 Arabs residing at El-
Arronch and neighbourhood (province of Constantine) has
been addressed to the Senate, praying for the applicaticn
of French justice in their country. The petition-
ers state that the Emperor Napoleon the Third,
in his Speech on opening the Chambers, recognised
them as his subjects, and that what they most desire
from French civilisation is the inviolable and sacred
guarantee which protects the respective rights of all French
subjects. The French laws, they say, form a precise and
regular Code, and every man knows his rights, and what
reparation he can obtain for a violation of them. The peti-
tioners then point out that the Arab laws are founded on
customs which at present differ in almost every tribe, so
that the people live in continual uncertainty.
A bill has been introduced by her Majesty's Government
for the extension of the Factory Acts to certain trades not
included in the previous acts, but in which children, young
persons, and women are employed. The trades which it
is now proposed to include within the provisions of the
Factory Act are the following :-1. The manufacture of
earthenware, except bricks and tiles, not being orna-
mental tiles. 2. The manufacture of lucifer matches. 3.

ture of cartridges. 5. The employment or paper staining.
6. The employment of finishing, haching, lapping, making
up, or packing any yarn, or any mixtuf e of them, or any yarn

following are the main provisions of the bill :—The Fac-
tory Acts shall be incorporated with this act, and shall
apply to the several manufactures and employments
mentioned in the first schedule, with the qualifications and
subject to the additions thereinafter mentioned :-1. The
term " factory" to have the same meaning as in the Factory
Acts. 2. During the first six calendar months next ensuing
the passing of this act, children of not less than 11 years of

same conditions, for and subject to which young persons

to take his or her meals in any part of the factory in con-
travention of the said provisions shall be deemed to be em-
ployed contrary to the provisions of the Factory Acts. 5.
In the employment of fustian cutting, no child shall be al-
lowed to commence work until the attainment of the age of
11 years; and any child who is allowed to commence work

Fishery A eta. 6. During the first 18 calendar months next
