sur-Yonne, on a charge of having murdered his own son,
Adolphe, a young soldier of the reserve. The prisoner, a
man of most forbidding appearance, and an habitual
drunkard, had long been the terror of his wife and
family, whom he cruelly ill-treated, but of late his son
Adolphe, having returned home from the army had done
all he could to protect his mother and sisters from his
father's brutality. On the Ist of November last, the
prisoner, in one of his drunken fits, struck his wife
on the shoulder with a chair and broke her collar-bone
Adolphe was absent, but when •he came home he remon-
strated with his father, who instantly attacked him with
great fury, but some neighbours interfered and parted
them. About an hour afterwards, however, his son saw
his father again beating his mother as she lay in bed, and
he went to defend her, when the prisoner seized a sword
which hung against the wall and plattged it into his son's
abdomen to the depth of ten inches. The young man died
a few hours later, and the prisoner was arrested. In his
defence, both before the examining magistrate and in
court, the prisoner maintained that his eon had fallen on
the sword during their struggle, but the medical evidence
proved that the wound could not have been inflicted in
that manner, and this opinion was supported by the state-
ment of the prisoner's daughters, who were present at the
time. After a short deliberation the-jury brought in a ver-
dict of guilty, and the Court §entOnced the prisoner to hard
labour for life.
