W. & Li- Viresta of France—. 1011

The Court of Assizes of Vienne has just tried a
fanneinamed Violleau, charged with having, on
the 16th November last, murdered his brother-in-law,
Louis Croizard, a landowner, residing at Sossay. It ap-
pears from the evidence that, on the day above mentioned
Croizard went to see his mother, who lived at a hamlet of
the same village along with her daughter and son-in-law,
the prisoner Violleau, and fro'm that day nothing was seen
of him till his body was found, on the Bth December, in a
dry well in a field about midway between his mother's
house and his own. The post-mortem examination showed
that the unfortunate man had been murdered by blows on
the head with some sharp instrument, and that the body
had been thrown into the well some time later, as no blood
had flowed from it there. Croizard, who as a widower,
possessed land and other property which brought him in
about 500 f. a year, on which he lived, and he had for
some time past expressed his intention of marrying again,
which gave great offence to the prisoner Violleau,
who had expected to inherit his brother-in-law's pro-
perty, and had been heard to express threats of venge-
ance against Croizard. Suspicion accordingly fell on
him, and he was arrested. A strict investigation
followed, and it was ascertained beyond all doubt that
Violleau had sent his mother and wife out of the way on
the occasion of Croizard's visit, and had murdered him in
their absence with a billhook, which was found in his pos-
session bearing marks of blood. Stains were also found
on his clothes, which were proved to have been made with
human blood. The prisoner confined his defence to simple
denials of his guilt, but the evidence against him was
deemed conclusive by the jury, who found him guilty of
murder without premeditation, and the court accordingly
sentenced him to twenty years' hard labour.
IRISH DOGS.—A bill laid before the House of
Commons by Sir F. Heygate, for the protection of sheep
from the ravages of dogs having no owner or disclaimed,
proposes that every dog when it is six months old :hall,
under a penalty, be registered by its owner annually, with
i
description, at the police-station, and a half-crown fee paid
per dog ; aad any dog, whose owner cannot after due in-
quiry be discovered may be destroyed by the police. The
bill is to extend to Ireland only.
THE AGINCOURT.---It is expected that the Agin-
court, armourplated frigate, now building for Government
by Messrs. Laird, at Birkenhead, will be launched at the
end of the month ; probably the 28th. As she is built in a
graving-dock she will be rather floated than launched.
