unsuccessful; and the Jury fouutl' the following

verdict

• " Javier is guilty of having, by

The Court then sentenced Janier to seven years
banishment. The prisoner perhaps expected al-
together a different punishment ; for he heard his
sentence with much tranquillity.
The two prisoners, wha'appeared
oian the second
case, were Jean ,;Loins Pepin, a
-plan, and
Jean Felith Lagardei a locksmith. 'The latter,
when asked his residence, eeplied,,that he lived in:
the Fauxbourg Antoine. The seditious provoca--
dons impilted to the prisoners commenced by acts
of violence on young man, who 'was singing
" Vive-Henri,lV.!" on the evening of the Bth
Joh-, the very day of his Majesty's return.

After having thrown in the inire.tht: young man
who particularly excited their rage, they shouted

window in which the white flag appeared, and
to stop every month which would cry " Vive le •
Roi !"
The prisoners, according to custom, denied al-
mist all the facts, awl sought to give a favour-,
able interpretation to those they could nut con,
tradict. Lagarde declared that he had been -pro-
voked by the young man who shouted " Vi'
Ic
!" id his face, with affectation; and as if to
insinuate something, against him. ‘Vben the pri-
suners had been arrested, the Commissary of Po-
lice asking who was the complainant, Pepin had
the courage to present himself and say, that he
complained of being insulted by one of the wit 7
nesses, who called hits blood-thirsty. " Never,"
said l'epiu in the course of the trial, " Never was

Only two witnesses were examined in this case.
Agier, Substitute for the Attorney-General,
then spoke:—" The crime' imputed to Pepin and
tagarde acquires importance from the circum-
stances in which it was committed. The provo-
cation took place in the Fauxbourg, where we
know the amateurs of violence and revolution
have always found supporters. In the mean t ilue,
it must he acknowledged, that in it the partisans
of tyranny vainly sought assistants ; the Faux-
bourg has expiated the crimes of some bad sub-
jects, by a burst of sincere joy on the eve 'and
morrow of the King's festival." • -

the pri6onera were convizted of only a simple mis-
demeanour, and scutenced to one year's imprison-

•Monday evening a man of gentlemanly appear-
ance went into-the Sun Hotel, in Shire-lane, and
with an assumed air of consequence ordered cof-
fee for two ; he was shewn into the parlour,' wheie
.colfee,was instantly served up, and paid for on
delivery : in a couple of 'minutes after the waiter
left the room, the gentleman followed him,
and going to the bar expressed much surprise
at what detained the lady he expected; he walked
to the door to see if she was coming, mixed with
the crowil,which 'was then very great, and although
he was immediately followed he was lost sight of,
having.taken-with him a silver coffee-pot, silver
