A man named Lahubardiere, aged 58, was yes-
terday tried Police,
by the Tribunal of Correctional on the
charge
of vagabondage. A curious account was given of
his career. He is the son of a colonel of the First Empire,
and godson of Gen. Rapp. In Dec., 1852, he was con-
demned to imprisonment for some offence, and on the expi.
ration of the punishment, being without resources, he ob-
tained a free passage to Algeria as a colonist. But, in
September, 1855, he came back to Paris, and not having
any means of living, he was admitted, at his own re-
quest, into a Depot de Medicite, He afterwards, on
several occasions, expressed a wish to leave the establish-
ment, saying that he was in possession of an income of
250 f a year ; but the authorities recommended him, for his
own sake, to remain. He, however, at length quitted the
Depot, but, before long, was arrested at Paris as a
vagabond, and was condemned to imp
r sonment. At
his own request, instead of being sent to prison, he
was allowed to return to the depot. Six months after he
again left that establishment, but a little later was once
more condemned at Paris to imprisonment for his old of-
fence, After undergoing the punishment he was set at
liberty, but in the evening of the Bth ult. he went to the
guard-house of the Palais de Justice, and representing that
he possessed neither home nor money, gave himself into
custody as a vagabond. When afterwards brought before
the court, he produced a document proving that ho was in
receipt of 250 f.
