MURDER IN FhANCE.—The Court of Assizes Of
the Drug-Sevres has just tried a farm-labourer
named Gabilly, aged 35, on a charge of having murdered
his sister at Chapelle •St.-Laurent on the 10th Dec. last. Iti
appeared from the evidence that the prisoner:was in the
service of a widow Niort, who in December last engaged Ili°
sister to come and keep house for her while she went to o
fair at Bessure. The prisoner had always been remarkable
tor his violent temper, and became furious on the least con'
trariety. On the morning of the clime, in a fie of passioll
he took a gun and shot several hens because they came into
the kitchen, and threatened to shoot the neighbours lebcl
reproached him with his telly, but they at last got posse.'
lion of the gun and took it away with them. Later in the
day, when preparing to shave himself, he told his sister 0
go and borrow a falll for him; she left the house to do eat
but as she did not walk fast enough for him, he ran after 002
cut her across the neck with his razor, inflicting a wuow"
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 hud wounded
one of them severely, He was committed for trial, and tbe
doctors who were called in to examine him as to his Banat
declared that he was not insane, but had acted under al:
influence of passion. The prisoner himself stoutly denied
'.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 bad done. His answers 0
the President's questions were perfectly rational. The
counsel for the defence ple.ded insanity, but the prisoner
refused to take advantage of the plea. The jury acquitted
,
the prisoner on the charge of wilful murder, but found bn
guilty of inflicting a wound which had caused death, 07.
allowed him the benefit of extenuating circumstances. 1.116
Court condemned him to two years' imprisonment.

A fire occurred at Eitceaf two mornings 1,601
on the premises of M. Arnouz, a cloth mends!:
Cuter, The flames were first observed in the dryil
rooms in the upper part of the building. 5:.,11
firemen came immediately to the spot, and there belts
a good supply or water the conflagration was limited to t
place where it commenced, with little injury to the lov;
storeys of the building. The damage is estimated at fr°,
20,e00f to 25,000 f. The same part of the establishment 1/
destroyed by fire in October test, with the same amoull °
damage.
