BURGLARY,—The Court of Assizes of the Indre a few
days ago tried two workmen, named Fourre and Morin,
for burglary. On the night of the 20th Marsh last, a
young woman named Baudry, who lived iu an isoastod
house at the 'village of Pontaises, was awakened from
her sleep by hearing a noise in her chamber,
and she per-
ceived a man a xaminiug the drawers. She cried.out
str
" Thieves 1" on which the man uck her several i.lovra
on the head with a thick stick, and then took to fflght.
It turned out that he had effected an entry by means of
a ladder raised to the window. From the descrip-

peered that two men must have been engaged in the bur.
glary, and there was reason to suspect that the second
one was Morin, but no positive proof could be obtained
against him. It clearly appeared, however, from his own
admissions and those of Fourre, as also from the test&
mony of several persons, that they had jointly, in the
course of 1856 and 1857, broken into not fewer than four
houses in the villages of Buxeil and Pontaiees, and bad
stolen Wine, jewellery, money, and other articles ; also
that in June, 1856, they had effected a forcible entrance
into the church of Guilly and and stolen 30f. or 85f. from
the poor-box. Being delared guilty by the jury, they
wine severally sentenced to 10 years' hard labour.
