AN ITALIAN COURT-MARTIAL.—A letter from
Turin, dated Nov. 29, states that a recent meeting of the
military tribunal greatly occupied the attention of that city.
M. Bosco de Ruffiro, captain of Bersaglieri, appeared before
his judges to answer the accusation of having ordered last
July, at Somma, near Naples, six innocent persons to be
shot without any form of judgment. The public prosecutor
demanded that he should be sentenced to the travaux force.
for life, for abuse of power. The following are the circum-
stances under which this young officer, aged only 35, ren-
dered himself guilty of the crime he is accused of :—While
garrisoned at Portici, he was sent by order of Gen. Cialdini
to Somma, where a band of brigands had just made its ap-
pearance. On arriving at that place, after the flight of the
robbers, the captain learnt that six inhabitants of the vil-
lage had aided the enterprise of the invaders. lie had. them
immediately arrested, and on the accusation of several citi-
zens, who, however, brought forward no sufficient proofs,
he ordered them to be put to death in the courtyard of the
barracks, in spite of their protestations of innocence, The
subaltern officers were passive actors in this tragedy. Such
are the facts stated in the public prosecutor's address.
Nevertheless the court, after having heard the depositions
of several witnesses proving the complicity of the victims
with the bandits, unanimously acquitted him. The public
approved this judgment by loud cheers,
