MURDER IN FRANCE.—The Court of Assizes of
the D. ux-Sevres 1148 just tried a farm-labourer
named Gabilly, aged 36, on a charge of having mtVdered
his si,ter at Chapelle•St.-Laurent on the 10th Dec. last. It,
appeared from the evidence that the prisoner:was in the
service of a widow Niort, who in December last engaged his
sister to come and keep house fur her while she went to
fair at Bessure. The prisoner had always been remarkable
for his violent temper, and became furious on the least con-
trariety. On the morning of the clime, in a fit of passion
he took a gun and shot several hens because they came into
the kitchen, and threatened to shoot the neighbours Naha
reproached him with his folly, but they at last got posses'
sion of the gun and took it away with them. Later in late
day, when preparing to shave himself, he told his sister to
go and borrow a it un for him; she left the house to do so,
but as she did not walk fast enough tor him. he ran after and
cut her across the neck with his razor, inflicting a wound
of which she died a few minutes afterwards. On hearing
the woman's screams the neighbours ran to her assistance,
and at last mastered him, but not before he had wounded
one of them severely. He was committed for trial, and the
doctors who were called in to examine him as to his sanitYt
declared that he was not insane, but had acted under the
influence of passion. The prisoner himself stoutly deniied
'hat he was mad, and stated that when he struck his sister
he was so enraged that he forgot he had a razor in his hand,
and was very sorry for what he nad done. His answers to
the President's questions were perfectly rational. The
counsel for the defence pleaded insanity, but the prisoner
refused to take advantage of the plea. The jury acquitted
the prisoner on the charge of wilful murder, but found hire
guilty of inflicting a wound which had caused death, and
allowed him the benefit of extenuating circumstances. The
Court condemned him to two years' imprisonment.

A fire occurred at Etbceuf two mornings bacic
on the premises of M. Arnoux, a cloth manufee#
tuter. The flames were first observed in the drying
rooms in the upper part of the building. TO
firemen came immediately to the spot, and there being
a good supply of water the conflagration was limited to the
place where is commenced, with little injury to the lower
storeys of the building• The damage is estimated at froze
20,000 f to 25,000 f. The same part of the establishment was
destroyed by fire in October Last, with the same amount of
damage.
