A GAY LOTHARIO IN A FIX.

The Gazette des Tribunaux has the following:—" A
tradesman of the Quartier des Lombards having cause
to suspect the fidelity of his wife, resolved to put it to
the proof. Ile pretended that he had occasion to go to
London with respect to some articles sent by him to the
Exhibition, and having obtained a passport a few days
ago went away. At about one o'clock on Tuesday
night he secretly let himself into his house, and pro
ceeding to his wife's chamber, found her in bed with a
man. The woman and her accomplice thought that
thieves had entered the house, and the former losing
her wits, shouted Murder! thieves!' whilst the man
rushed on the husband, and attempted to secure him.
The husband, furious with rage, cried, This is your
last hour!' and he produced a dagger. But whe❑
about to strike h is resolution failed him, and perceiving
that his wife's cries had begun to alarm the neighbour-
hood, he suddenly changed his intention. ' Fear no-
thing, madame,' said he, lighting a candle, 6it is I!
You have been very guilty, but I still love you enough
to pardon you. As for you,' he said to the accomplice,
whom be recognised as a clerk formerly in his service,
dress yourself quickly—be off—and all shall be for-
gotten!' The clerk glad to get away so easily began to
dress, and the husband undressed. When the latter had
got all his clothes off, and resembled a man who had just
quitted his bed, he seized the clerk by the throat, and
shouted, "Thief ! murder!' By this time the guard and
some of the neighbours had arrived, and the husband,
giving the clerk into their custody, said, ' This is one of
the thieves who has broken into my house! I could
only seize this one—tbe others have escaped!' The
poor clerk was taken off to the guardhouse, and the
next day the husband declared that he had broken into
his house, and had robbed him. But the clerk told the
true story, and the examining magistrate having ascer-
tained it to be exact, compelled the husband to withdraw
the charge of housebreaking, and to make one of adul-
tery. This he did, and he included his wife in the com-
plaint also. The wife and clerk are now in custody
awaiting their trial for violation of Art. 338 of the
Penal Code."
