de Forestier. It was stated that since this
unfortunate affair Forestier's wife bad died,
and that he, anxious to make all the repa-
ration in his power for the injury he had done
her, had offered to marry her, but that her father
had positively refused. Forestier caused evidence to
be given by several persons to prove that he had every
reason to believe from Isabella's personal appearance
and other circumstances, that she was more than six-
teen years of age, and he laboured both in his inter-
rogatory and throughout the trial, to show that he
had not persuaded her to leave her home. After the
pleadings were over, Forestier, in a voice of much
emotion, read a paper to the jury, drawn up as
follows :—"I have to make, before my fellow-
citizens, the avowal of a fault which the law does
not punish ; and you will accept this avowal as
a further expiation to be added to my long sufferings.
During two years I struggled to save from death the
life of an angel to whom I had associated my destiny,
when a fatal and unforeseen meeting surprised me in
one of those moments of moral discouragement, in
which a man has not sufficient strength to maintain
himself in the line of duty. You will not brand my
life, gentlemen, for a moment's self-forgetful-
ncss ; you will not confound a fault with a
crime; you will not forget that the honour
of Miss -Hamilton is intact,' and that I have
offered her all the reparation in my power. The Pre-
sident then summed up, and the jury, after an hour's
delily:ration, returned a verdict of " Not Guilty."
Tile servant girl, Adele Gendron, was included in the
indictment, for having assisted in the flight of Isabella,
but the public prosecutor abandoned the case against
her. The verdict was received with some applause,
which was immediately repressed by the President.
Count de Forestier remained in gaol till the evening,
but. when he went away, a numerous crowd was
waiting at the door to see him.
