OF Pit ASLIN.
The dreadful fate of this unfortunate lady (whose
murder we announced yesterday) has filled all Paris
with consternation. We sul join the extracts which
we find on the subject in the different Paris papers.
It will be at once seen, from reading these accounts,
that the crime is still involved in the greatest mys-
tery, and that the efforts of the magistracy to clear it
up, at least as far as is communicated by the press,
have been hitherto by no means successful. It is
perhaps as well not to repeat tiff? whole of the stories
in circulation with respect to this dreadful affair.
Many of them are, no doubt, untrue, and most of
them are incorrect or exaggerated. There can, how-
ever, be no impropriety in stating, that the idea of
the crime having been committed by persona whose
object was plunder has been greatly attenuated in the
course of the inquiry, and that it is feared that it will
be ultimately found that vengeance or jealousy was
the true motive which led to this frightful crime. All
the persons who were in the house at the time of the
murder have been arrested, and among others the
Duke de Praslin himself, who is not allowed to leave
the house, where he is kept under the close surveil-
lance of the police.
(From Galignani's Messenger.)
We mentioned yesterday the murder of this lady,
who was the mother of nine children, the only daughter
of Marshal Sebastiani, and niece of Lieut.-General
Tiburce Sebastiani and the Duke de Coigny. ,The
details of this lamentable event, which took place at the
hotel of Marshal Sebastiani, in the Rue de Faubourg
Saint Honors, 55, near the British Embassy, are various
in many respects; but all the accounts concur in stating
that the Duchess, who arrived only on Tuesday evening
from the country, had retired to bed at her usual hour,
but very early in the morning the bell of her bed-room
rang, and a servant rose and went to the room, but could
not enter, it being bolted in the inside. The door was
forced open, and the Duchess was found weltering in her
blood from several stabs—not quite dead, but utterly
unable to give any account of the murderer. She ex-
pired soon afterwards. As no robbery had been com-
mitted, it was evident that the act was one of private
vengeance; but suspicion could not be fixed on any par-
ticular person, as the amiable character of the Duchess
did not permit her to have a known enemy. The autho-
rities were instantly informed of the lamentable event,
and by six in the morning the Procureur-General, M.
Delangle, the Procureur du Roi, M. Boucly, and two
examining magistrates, MM. Broussais and Legonidec,
arrived at the house. All the servants were closely
interrogated, as was also every person who called
during the morning; and in the course of the day the
police went to a boarding• school in the Marais, where
resided an English governess who had lived with the
Duke and Duchess, and who received a pension from the
family. She was absent when they presented themselves,
and all her papers were seized. It is not, however, be-
lieved that she is involved in the crime. During the
whole of yesterday a large crowd was stationed opposite
the door of the Duke's hotel, and various rumours were,
as usual, current; but as few persons were allowed to
quit the house, very little information could be obtained
as to what was passing in it. The late Duchess had not
yet reached her 42d year. She was alike remarkable
for her elegance of manners and the superiority of her
education; and, in addition to being an excellent mother,
was distinguished for her active and extensive benevo-
knee.
(From the Moniteur Parisien of Wednesday.)
The Duke and Duchess arrived yesterday (Tuesday)
evening, at about nine o'clock, treat a watering-place,
with the intention of staying a few days in Paris before
their return to the country. As they hall been for some
time absent, they permitted, on their arrival, most of
their servants to go and see their friends and relations,
and to remain absent until tie following day. They
kept near them only two or three persons. After seeing
their children put to bed, the Duke and Duchess re-
tired to their separate apartments. Their servants who
remained in the house, being, like their master and mis-
tn ss, fatigued with their journey, did the same, and
everything was soon silent; but two or three hours
afterwards, viz., towards two o'clock in the morning, the
mike of a bell, irregu!arly rung, announced that the
Duchess required the attendance of some person, and a
servant rose and proceeded to the room of the Duchess;
nut tt:e door was to-aened in the inside. The servant
was about to retire, but, bearing some groans, forced
open the door and enter. d, when a frightful sight pre-
sented itself. The Duchess was ling in her blood,
which was flowing trom some large and deep wounds
in the throat; her bands were covered with blood ;
the mark of a bloody band was seen on the bell pull,
showing that the Duchess had rung the bell after she
was struck. Some hair torn from the head of the
Duchess was lying on the floor, and showed that she
had struggled with her murderer ; but there was no
trace of any theft ; no drawer or secretary had been
broken open, and there was merely a confusion as to the
situation of some light furniture and moveable objects
which might have been caused by the struggle or the
precipitate flight of the assassin. The cries of the
servant roused the Duke de Praslin, who hastened to the
spot, and threw himself on the ,bleeding body of his
wife which he embraced. Surgeons were instantly sent
for, and every thing possible was done to save the
Duchess, but unfortunately the wounds were too serious;
she died two hours afterwards. The magistrates who
who had arrived examined the hotel and its depen-
dencies, and endeavoured to find by what issue the mur-
derer could have escaped, but nothing could be ascer-
tained. The medical men who were present, amongst
whom were MM. Orfila and Pasquier, were of opinion,
from the appearance of the wounds, that they had been
inflicted with a kitchen knife or a cutlass.
(From the Patric)
The Duchess de Praslin came from the chateau of
Praslin to be present at a distribution of prizes at an in-
stitution where several of her children were placed. The
Duchess, fatigued with her journey in the heat of the
day, retired early to rest. Her femme- de-chambre was
lodged above her. About half past four this morning,
this woman was aroused by hearing the bell rung, and
was surprised that her mistress should have awoke so
early. The femme-de-chambre got up, dressed herself,
and descended to her mistress's room, where a terrible
spectacle struck her with astonishment and horror; the
room was all in disorder; a pool of blood inundated the
floor; and in the midst lay the unfortunate Duchess,
the body still warm, having the bead nearly separated
from the trunk. The fetrne-de-chambre gave the alarm,
and the servants and family flocked to the spot. It was
then found that nothing had been stolen; and it was re-
marked that the person or persons who committed the
crime must have got into the hotel by the back, where
there were houses in coast' uetion, and must have es-
caped by the same way. At six o'clock the Prefect of
Police, the Procureur du Roi, and it is even said the
Minister of Interior, were at the Hotel Sebastiani to
commence an investigation. The hotel had all its issues
carefully guarded, and last night the law officers were
still on the premises.
Marshal Sebastiani, the father of the Duchess, is at
present absent in Corsica.
Another account says :
" The Duchess de Choiseul Praslin, who left Paris al
the beginning of last week to visit her estate at Praslin,
and be present at the distribution of the prizes of a school
placed in some respect under her patronage, and in which
two of her children are educated, returned to town on
Tuesday evening. She intended to pass only one night
in her hotel, and was to have left yesterday with the
Duke her husband for Dieppe, where part of their house-
-11.11 had preceded them. Fatigued with her journey,
the l)ut'hess went to bed at an early hour, and as per-
mission had been given to most of the domestic, to ab-
sent themselves, she remained in the hotel with her
femme de chambre, who sleeps in the story above, a go-
verness of the children, and two male domestics. The
hotel of the Marshal Sebastiani, which was occupied by
the Duke and I)uohess de Choiseul Praslin with their
family, only presents on the Faubourg St. Honot4 a very
narrow façade, composed on the entrance door sustained
by two columns, and of a small apartment on the right
serving as a place for the concierge. After having
passed the door a long avenue has to be traversed, at
the end of which the façade of the hotel developes it-
self. The back of the hotel, or rather the second facade
of the hotel, faces the gardens, which extend in the
direction of the Champs Elyelks. The apartment of
the Duchess., de Praslin, situated on the ground
floor but at a. certain height (a flight of six steps having
to be ascended to reach it), is on the second façade, and
the bed-chamber in particular, situated towards the
south, has its windows on the garden. From eleven
o'clock in the evening a profound calm reigned in the
hotel, all the, lights were extinguished, and the concierge
himself went to bed, thinking that every person was
asleep. Between four and five o'clock, when it was broad
daylight, the femme de chambre, who, as already said,
slept above the apartment of the Duchess, was awakened
by the noise of a bell pulled with violence. She rose in
great haste, and ran to the apartment of her mistress,
the door of which she in vain tried to open. She lis-
tened, and thought she heard a feeble groan; she then
called the domestics to her help, and in uniting their
efforts they succeeded in breaking the door open. They
then saw lying on the floor, in the midst of a pool of
blood, their unfortunate mistress, who appeared to give
no sign of lite. A wound, in which three fingers could
have been put, was seen gaping on the left side of
the throat ; there were two other profound wounds in
the breast, and a fourth had almost entirely separated
the little finger from the right hand. These
different wounds appeared to have been made with
an instrument have a large double-edged blade. Every
thing in the bed- room showed besides that, though sur-
prised in her slumber, the victim had offered a strong
resistance to the murderer ; a little table had been
overthrown; porcelains and some objects of art were
spread about; the drapery on the wall bore the traces
of a bloody hand, as did also the rope of the bell, the
ringing of which had awakened the femme de chambre;
mad finally between the clasped fingers of the left hand
there was some of the murderer's hair, whilst a more
considerable quantity of the hair, pulled out in the
struggle, was scattered here and there on the floor, on
which the coagulating blood had fixed them. The ma-
gistrates hastened to the theatre of the- crime. At the
moment of their arrival a judicial examination was com-
menced. At the same time the medical men who bad
been called in tried to save the Duchess. but their efforts
were useless; she expired in some instants, without
having been able to utter a single word, without even
having recovered her consciousness. T'he very first ex-
aminations made by justice showed that no robbery had
been committed or even attempted. The garden was
examined with the most minute care in all parts, and
was found in such a state that it was evident that no
one had penetrated into it, either to enter or
to leave the hotel ; and nowhere could any
traces of breaking-in or of breaking-out be found.
From seven in the morning until five o'clock in
the afternoon, the Procureur-General, the Procureur du
Roi, M. Broussais and M. Legonidec, juges de i'instruc-
tion, were occupied in interrogatories, at which the chiet

A man named Mann was tried last week by the Court
of Assizes of the Bouches-du-Rhone for the assassination
of his father-in-law, named Imbert. The prisoner was
born at Strasburg, but got his living as a stonecutter at
Marseilles. There he married the daughter of Imbert,
at that time aged only 16. In 1846 the prisoner, his
wife, and father-in-law went to live at Ala. The
prisoner was remarkably jealous of his wife, even to the
extent of seeing with pain her communications with
her father. Notwithstanding this, he took one of
his workmen, named Vogt, to live with him, and,
having only one room, made him sleep in the same
chamber as himself and wife. His business caused
him frequently to be absent from home, and he never-
theless allowed .Vogt to continue to sleep in the same
room with his wife. This led to a criminal inter-
course between them, and on his return home one even-
ing the prisoner found them in the same bed. Although
he was of a violent and irascible character, he made no
complaint or reproach at this discovery ; but his wife,
fearing that his calmness was only the result of a de-
termination to take terrible vengeance, left him, and
went with her children to reside I,z„ikher father. He
complained of being thus abandoned, and accused Vogt
of having taken away the woman. He, however, would
not allow Vogt to quit him, or to cease to work
with him. Having during a whole week made in vain
repeated entreaties to his wife to return to him, he
went one morning to her father's house, where he
found them seated at table together. He again
begged his wife to return to him, but she refused.
He then cried, "A misfortune will occur?" At the
same moment he seized a knife. His father-in-law
begged him to lay it aside; he refused, because he said
he intended to kill himself. " You are too cowardly for
that!" retorted the father-in-law, thereupon the pri
sorer rushed on him and stabbed him. The man cried
"I am assassinated," and fell dead. The prisoner then
stabbed his wife several times, though fortunately the
wounds were only slight. He then rushed lip° the
street covered with blood, and cried, " I ha% e done what
I wished. I have satisfied my caprice." He held
his young son by the hand, and said, '° Come
my son, your father is about to die." He
proceeded to his place of work, no one daring
to stop them, and shouted to some men that
if they did not fly he would kill them. He shortly
after plunged a knife into his throat. With blood
streaming from the wound, and with the blo&ly knife in
his hand, he hastened to the guard-house,
i and said.
" Arrest me ; I have just killed my lather in-law and
my wife." At the same moment he fell exhausted. For
some time after he was unable to speak, but he signified
by signs that he killed those two persons. He was con-

He then called the neighbours to bear testimony that
adultery had been committed by them, and afterwards

RUMOURED MURDER AT PORTSEA.—An inquest
was held last evening on the body of John Hines, late
a bandsman in the Victory, at the Portsea Island
Union-house. It appeared in evidence, that the de-
ceased was discharged in July last, in consequence
of misconduct, since which time he has been wan-
dering about the town almost in a state of destitu-
tion. The last time he was seen was in Portsmouth at
three o'clock in the afternoon of Saturday. His body
‘s as found upon the slope leading to the rampart,
at the end of High-street, at three on Sunday morn-
ing. He was perfectly insensible. There was a recent
wound over the angle of the right eye, and some spots
of blood traced from Barrack-street to near the place
where the body was found, which appeared to be con-
nected with the circumstance of his death; but it appears
some Marines had been fighting, which accounted for
the blood. Deceased was removed to Portsmouth station.
house, and afterwards to the union. He was diligently
attended by Mr. Garrington up to the time of his death,
which occurred about five o clock the same evening.
Deceased remained insensible until about four o'clock.
He had been bled, and became sensible for a few
moments, when he asked the nurse for a pint of beer,
for which he said he would pay to-morrow. The
nurse asked if he had been fighting? He said no;
and made some declaration that he had been struck
by some person; but as it did not appear that the
deceased was aware that he was in a dying state,
the Coroner refused to take that declaration as
evidence. The Coroner stated that any statement cal-
culated to criminate another was inadmissible, unless
the party making it felt himself to be in a dying
state ; and cautioning the jury not to allow it to
operate upon their decision. Mr. Garrington, who
examined the body, was of opinion that the death
of deceased was from apoplexy, and that apoplexy
was the result of either a fall or a blow. The Co-
roner observed that the police had been indefatigable
since Sunday morning to unravel the circumstances con-
nected with his death. He put it to the jury whether
the inquest should be adjourned or not ; but as it ap-
peared from the statement of Inspector Way, that it
was not probable that he could produce further evidence,
the coroner summed up, and the jury, after a few
minutes' deliberation, returned: the; following verdict:—
" That the deceased, John Hines, died of appoplexy,
produced by external violence ; but bow such violence
was inflicted, there was no evidence before them to
show."—Hampshire Guardian.

AN ORATRESS.—Abby Folsom preached a 4th of
July oration, of two days' length, fr m her chamber-
window in Boston—commencing on Sunday, and getting
through on Monday night. The Mail says—" She
preached enough during the two days from her window
to wear out the lunge of a lion and make au elephant
hoarse. Her physical powers are tremendous, and her
love of the freedom of speech stronger than death."—

We learn from Genoa that a duel, with swords,
took place there on the 10th, between M. Geniole, a
French artist, and the Chevalier Sebastien Fenzi, of
Florence. The Chevalier received a wound in the
breast, which, however, was not of an alarming cha-
racter.
OBSEQUIES OF THE LATE DR. GRIFFITHS.—A
solemn high mass and requiem were celebrated yester-
day at the Roman Catholic chapel of St. Mary's, Moor-
fields, on the occasion of the obsequies of the Right
Rev. Dr. Griffiiths. The late reverend prelate held the
rank in the Catholic Church of Bishop of Olena and
Vicar Apostolic of the London district. The Right
Rev. Dr. Briggs, Bishop of Tachis, oficiated, assisted
by the Rev. G. Rolfe, the Rev. P. O'Dwyer, and the
Rev. J. Walshe. Tb.e Right Rev. Dr. Waering, the
Right Rev. Dr. Ullathorne, the Right Rev. Dr. Morris,
the Right Rev. Dr. Wilson, and upwards of 100 of the
inferior clergy, were also present and assisted at the so
lemnities.
DISTILLATION FRAM SUGAR.—" Mr. Green," said a
tolerably-dressed female the other day, entering a
grocery store in which were several customers, " have
you any fresh corned pork ?" " Yes, ma'am." " How
much is this sugar a pound ?" " One shilling, ma'am."
" Let me have," she continued, lowering her voice, "half
a pint of gin, and charge it as sugar on the book."—

THE CHARTIST LAND SCHEME. Monday last
being the day fixed tor a grand demonstration to cele-
brate the location of allottees on the Lowbands Chartist
estate, at Redmarley, on the cerfines of Worcestershire
and Gloucestershire, crowds of visitors began to arrive
at an early hour. Notwithstanding the rain, the com-
pany, consisting of at least three or four thousand people,
many of whom had arrived from many miles distance,
remained patiently all day, hoping that the weather
would clear up. A_ band of music was in attendance,
and dancing, and a variety of amusements were in-
tended to form part of the day's proceedings, but
the weather proved an effectual bar to enjoy-
ment. About fifty deligates were in attendance, prin-
cipally from the manutacturing districts of the north,
and some from Scotland. These delegates are to hold a
conference daily during the week on the affairs of the
company. On the Lowbands estate forty five cottages
have been built, and nave been allecatt d to that number
of occupants. To the cottages are attached two, three,
or tour acres of land, to be cultivated by spade hus-
bandry, and the pr prietors assume that out of this
land the occupants will be able to maintain themselves
in comfort, and pay interest in the shape of rent to
the corn 131.1 y, at the rate of five per cent. on the outlay.
All the delegates, and a large proportion of the com-
pany, appeared very sanguine as to the success of
the plan. On the estate is an extensive building,
intended to be used as a school, and also for lectures and
social meetings of the community. At three o'clock the
band, headed by a number of 'banners, marched to a
hustings which had been erected on the estate, but the
audience that collected round it were informed that the
rain would prevent Mr. O'Connor from addressing
them, as it would be cruel to keep them longer exposed
to such weather; and as to Mr. O'Connor himself, it was
necessary that he should husband his strength in order
to enable him to fight their battles in another place.
After this announcement a great number of the com-
pany departed, but between five and six o'clock the
weather improved, and during a cessation of the rain
Mr. Feargus O'Connor, Mr. Donovan, and one or two
other delegates, briefly addressed such of the company
as still remained, on the advantages of the land plan as
a preventive of pauperism, and an encouragement of
honest independence.
A CHILD RESCUED FROM DlLOWlinerci.---A boat
laden with salt was passing on the Regent's Canal, at
Paddington, about half-past five on Thursday evening,
when the boatman's daughter, a child ten years :of age,
overbalanced herself. She was sinking from exhaus-
tion in eight feet of water, under a bridge, when Mr. H.
J. Smith, the collector of the Regent's Canal Company,
most humanely dashed into the water, with his clothes
on, and succeeded in restoring the little girl to her
agonised parents, who were unable to afford her any
assistance.
AN ODD FUNERAL.--A few days ago there might
have been seen two persons conveying down Kirkgate

with a short black pipe in his mouth!—Leeds Intel&

LOLA MONTES AGAIN.—The Gazette des Tribunaux
publishes the following letter, dated the 12th inst., from
Wurzbourg, in Bavaria:—" The bull-dog of Mdlle.
Lola Montes, which, as will be remembered, was the
cause of a great tumult at Munich in February last, has
just put the town of Wurzbourg in commotion. The
day before yesterday (Sunday), at about eleven o'clock
in the evening, Mdlle. Lola Montes entered the King's
Garden, the public promenade, followed by this animal,
which, it appears, accompanies her whenever she goes
out on foot. The sentinel placed at the gate of the
garden told her that dogs were not admitted, and
he stopped the passage with his bayonet. The
impetuous Spaniard became irritated, and struck the
soldier such a violent blow on the head with her parasol
that his shako was knocked off. A crowd of persons
assembled, and shortly after the commandant of a batta-
lion, chief of the post of the garden, presented himself to
Mdlle. Lola Montes, with whom he was acquainted, and
politely invited her to withdraw, in order not to cause a
disturbance. Mdlle. Montes replied that before speaking
to a lady of her rank he ought to take off his hat, and
which she requested him to do. The officer declared
to her, that, being in the discharge of his duties, he
would not and ought not to uncover himself before any
body, and that he would cause her to be arrested if
she did not immediately go away. Mdlle. Lola Montes
complied with this order—she returned to her hotel, fol-
lowed by a multitude of the lower classes, groaning at and
hissing her without intermission. In the evening Mdlle.
Montes went to visit a councillor of state. During this
time crowds assembled betore the house and smashed
the windows with stones. W hen, at a later hour, Mdlle.
Montes returne t in a carriage to her hotel, she was
again insulted by the people, who stationed themselvesin all the neighbouring streets, and did not retire until
after the military had been called out. The next day
Mdlle. Montes left Wurzbourg to return td Munich."—
The Brighton Gazette has the following: " The chronicles
of scandal announce positively that the King of Bavaria
has become wearied of the infamous Lola Mentes, and
that he has airea ty taken a Russian Countess into favour
in her place. But the bold Lola swears she will not be
turned off, and vows vengeance on the Majesty of Ba-
varia. The King, it is added, is so frightened, that he
runs from place to place to avoid her:'
MARRIAGE EXTRAORDINARY.— Monday last was
an eventful day in the village of Kirkcounell, Dumfries-
shire. Rich and poor, young and old, were early astir,
bent on having a holiday. The opening of the Glagow,
Dumfries, and Carlisle Railway, or a royal visit, could
not have produced a greater sensation than the mere fact
that Mr. John Hy slop, a farmer, High-Cairn, the oldest
tenant of the " bold Buecleuch" in that district, had been
proclaimed" on Sunday, and was on that day to be mar-
ried for the second time. Mr. Hyslop, though not a
native of, has long been resident in, the parish of Kirkcon-
nell, and by perseverance and industry has now acquired
a competency, being, as he himself says, " the proprietor
of a nice bit lairdship in the parish of Dunscore." The
li
late partner, to whom he hid been married for the longher
period of sixty years, died about six months ago in
ninetieth year. Throughout a wide extent of country
they were familiarly known by the homely names of
Johnny and Jenny, and a more loving couple, notwith-
standing the many peculiarities of both, we have seldom,
if ever known. They had seen grow up around them a
numerous race of children, great, and great grand-children,
when Jenny, in a ripe old age, was peacefully gathered
to her fathers. This event had not long occurred, when
Johnny, an enfeebled old man, who required to be taken
to the field in a cart, to superintend the operations on
his farm, like the eagles, seemed to " renew his youth,"
for he soon afterwards went "a wooing." Meeting with
a number of refusals from those who might be considered
like a 4. brave knight,' 0.3 a footing of *quality, ho was somewhat daunted, but.l
he determined " never to give up"
till he had obtained a " help meet." A few weeks since
he proposed to a buxom widow of about 60, a pauper on

INCREASE OF SCURVY IN LONDON.—From the
last weekly report of the Registrar-General, it appears
that this frightful disease is greatly on the increase, as
during the quarters of 13 weeks each, ending March
and June, 1845, the number of deaths registered
amount, d to only six, whereas during the same period
in the present year they had increased to 41. This
great mortality is no doubt ring.
that to the recent scarcity
of potatoes and the high price of
vegwtables generally.
From the same report it appears the number of
deaths from all causes, registered during the past week
amounted to 550 males, and 558 females—total, 1,108;
he number of births registered in the same period being
639 males and 593 females—total. 232; the weekly
average derived
from deaths of 1842.3 4-5, and 6, and
corrected for increase of population, being 479 males and
461 females—total, 940.

The following are further particulars regarding this
melancholy occurrence, a notice of which we gave in
our last :—" It appears that a broker and seller of
watches in the Cowgate, of the name of James Edie,
after having been for several years a member of the
Edinburgh Total Abstinence Society, had been in.
duced tour or five weeks ago to violate his pledge
and since then has been almost constantly under
the influence of liquor. This continued dissipation so
affected his mind, that he frequently acted in the most
outrageous manner, and sometimes force had to be
used to restrain his violence. On Thursday his
behaviour was of a most violent character. Notwith-
standing the exertions of some of his neighbours, he
proceeded up the Cowgate in an excited manner,
threatening and assailing all he met. His attention
was unfortunately directed towards a man of the name
of John Scott, who was standing at the bottom
of the Fish-market Close, and who, it is presumed, was
obnoxious to Edie from the odium which attached to
his profession, as being the common executioner for
the city. After a brief altercation (though it is
also said that no words were exchanged), Edie assaulted
him in the most violent manner, knocking him
down by repeated blows on the breast ; and on Scott
being carried to an adjoining shop he was pursued
thither by his assailant, who again struck him on
the head, which produced immediate insensibility, and
resulted in the death of Scott in a few minutes after-
wards. Scott bad been for a long time past in a deli.
calm state of health, which it was supposed had rendered
the assault fatal; but on a post mortem examination of
the body on Friday by Dr. Tait, we understand that
the cause of death was found to be suffusion of the
brain, the result of the blow which Scott had received
en the head while in the shop. Edie was immediately
taken into custody, and after an investigation of the case
by the authorities he was committed to take his trial
for the offence.—Edinburgh Witness.
POISONING IN PRANCE.—An elderly man, named
Descombes, and his son-in-law Couturier, were recently
indicted before the Court of Assizes of the Ain for having
poisoned Marguerite Descombes, daughter of the former
prisoner. The deceased being of weak intellect, and
unable to work, was a burden on the two prisoners
and the wife of Couturier, her sister, all of whom
were in a state of great poverty. One day, in
March last, the two men went to a notary, and asked
him if the deceased could not transfer to them her
share in a house and a small parcel of land, which she
possessed in common with her sister. The notary
answered in the negative, on account of her state of
mind. Some time satarwarcla el. ...buututler pre-
pared a supper, consisting of soup, for all four, and she
partook of it in company with her husband and father.
She then went away, leaving the two men alone in the
room. Some time after the sister came home from church,
took the soup, and in compliance with Couturier's request,
drank rather more than usual. Shortly after she began to
vomit, but Couturier would not allow his wife to approach
her. He gave her wine and tea, which caused her violent
pains and vomitings. Whilst this was going on her father
came to her bed-side, and the deceased throwing her
arms round his neck begged him to remain, but he re-
fused. As he was leaving the house, he said to a neigh-
bour, " My daughter is very ill; if I do not see her
again alive, may God take her." All the next day and
night she continued to suffer cruelly, especially when-
ever Couturier, who scarcely quitted her, gave her any-
thing to drink, though she was relieved by what her
sister gave her. At last she died in great agony,
and on her body being opened a large quantity of
arsenic was found. There was no doubt that she had
been poisoned. In addition to these facts it was proved
that, about a month before the murder, the two prisonerst
went to a druggist's to buy the arsenic, and wheni andhey
received it, Descombes gave it to his son-in-
n;ake a
