the same to Smith, whrse legs were in eons! qttence in
a tad shoe. Witness saw Smith's legs, which appeared
as if they had been scathed by gunpowder. Winters
gave evidence to that *freet on the trial. The whole of
the prosecutor', witnesses were examined. Smith was
etikd or: for his c:Ourice, when he stated that he acted
uncle: cerni..uisien. His wit- t :FPS were then heard;
gr. e.t Lumber of them were cAcci to speak to his pros •
pects Led connexions in England, and to his previous
good character. The Judge was Mr. Baron Garrow.
He summed up the case to the jury; and stated in doing
SO, that it was quite clear that Smith was acting
under compulsion, and he particularly directed the at-
tention of the jury to the evidence of Capt. Hearn of the
trig Industry. Captain Smith was instantly acquitted
after the Judge's summing up. Witness remembered a son
or the owner of the Zephyr, captured by the pirates with
tiisnith, was examined f‘r the defence, and he aerated the
circumstances of the piracy of the vessel, and the cap-
ture of Smith on his voyage home from Kingston, and
stated that Smith was forcibly taken away from the
Z,phyr on board the pirates' vessel. Captain Smith had
1, ft England about eighteen months before the trial, as
mate of a vessel called the Harrington, trading to the
West Indies. He was returning home as chief mate of
the Zephyr when he was captured, Captain Lumsden
bi ing the captain. Witness remembered the trial of
1829. Capain Smith was then present at the trial for
the capture of the Prevoyant, which lasted about an
hour. The case was tried before Lord Chief Justice
Titdal. When Captain Smith sailed he had 3001. or
4001. in the funds; and when he was captured he was re-
taining home to be married, and he was married very
soon afterwards.
Cross, x :reined by Mr. Sergeant SMEE—I am a cousin
of Captain Smith's. lam now in practice as a surgeon.
I practi6cd twenty years in the Old Kent-road. I
hi,d a farm at one time near Windsor. I

have been occasionally engaged in bill transactions
About 15 years ago Captain Smith was in the habit of
di counting bills for me and other parties, to the extent
of 200/. or 3001. at a time. After 18.29 Captain Smith
went to sea again, and returned to stay on land about
1834. He has not to my knowledge carried on any busi-
ness. I have had no communication with him since that
time. I was charged by Smith and a person named
Shields for forging the acceptance to a bill of exchange,
and the grand jury ignored the indictment. I indicted
Shields and Smith afterwards for a conspiracy to charge
me with forgery; but it fell to the ground. I was not
guilty of forgery; there was no foundation for the charge
at all. I will swear Smith has not lent me money since
the trial for the conspiracy. At the trial iu 1823 Smith
admitted in his cross-examination that both he and his
men assisted in rowing the pirates' boat, and that he
personally assisted in loading the guns. The skin was
.11' Smith's legs when he returned, le,d apparently that
bad been done with gunpowder. The surgeon of the
prison, who was examined at the trial, gave it as his opi-
won that the sores on Smith's legs had been occasioned
by Gunpowder. _

Mr. Gurney, senior, the short-hand writer, produced
a transcript of his notes of the trial in 1829, for the
piracy of the ship Prevoyant. The trial terminated by
the jury stopping the case.
Mr. Berkeley, a watch and chronometer maker, in
the Commercial-n ad, said he knew Captain Smith in
1823, nod was present at the trial at the Admiralty Ses-
sions in that year. Had heard the evidence given to-
day by Mr. Bost, which was substantially correct.
Cross examined by Mr. Sergeant SHEE—Only knew
Captain Smith in the way of his (witness's) business.
lar. John Batheroyd—ln 18231 was a hatter. Cap-
tain Smith lodged with me six or seven years before he
sailed to the West. Indies. I was present at the trial in
1823. I have heard the evidence given by Mr. Bost to-
day. I remember Mr. Cook, the defendant, being exa-
mined at the trial. Ile was captain of the Industry.
Cook said that the captain of the pirates was such a
ferocious man that he did not dare to intercede with him.
The Judge in summing up said "It is in this case,

like all others; where the mind and the hand don't go to-
gether there cannot be any guilt; and the prisoner can-
not be found guilty." I remember Captain Smith re-
turning to England; he was i❑ a very destitute condi-
tion. I took him a suit of clothes on board and many
other necessaries.

Mr. Wm. Cragg—l was in China in 1836 and 1837. I
saw the plaintiff there. He had then the command of a
vessel called the Mary Ann, which traded from London
to China. _ _

Mr. James Holmes—l am a warehouseman in Regent-
street. I know the plaintiff very well; I have known
him for six or seven years. He has resided in Camden-
villas during that time. I have always supposed he was
living in a respectable manner, on his means, and moving
in very good society.
Cross-examined by Mr. PARRY—I don't know that
Captain Smith is now a bill-discounter. I never beard
of his having been tried for an assault upon an attorney's
clerk.
This was the plaintiff's case.

COMMON PLEAS.—(THIS DAY,)
[Wore the LORD CHIEF JUSTICE and a Common Jury.)

MARSH V. CRATE.

This was an action i❑ forma pauperis brought by the
plaintiff, who is a cowkeeper and grazier at Edgeware, to
recover the sum of 45/. for money lent, and other ex-
pemes incurred on behalf of the defendant.

The plaintiff conducted his own case, and Mr. O'Malley,
Q C., appeared for the defence.
It appeared that the parties had been for some
time in partnership with each other in
the management of a gracs farm, and the
defendant, though admitting the account, contended that
it was incurred on behalf of the partnership. The
whole of the items were for dinners and drink paid for
by the plaintiff for the defendant, or money lent at dill,-r-
-;•nt peliods. The defendant also pleaded a set off in the
shape of a cross account.

Tne LORD CHIEF JUSTICE left the jury to say
whether such items, as these could be said to enter into
a partner hip account.
The jury returned a verdict for the plaintifffor 301. 10s.

MARLBRO'-STREET.—(THIS DAY.)
EXTENSIVE ROBBERY IN A BROTllEL.—Elizabeth
Coe, a woman of the town, was brought before Mr.
Bingham, charged with stealing from the person of Mr.
Richard Rouselle, a French gentleman residing in Albe-
marle-street, a bill of exchange for 2,100 f:, and a gold
pencil.case, at a house of ill-fame in Sheppard-street,
Oxford• street.

The prosecutor deposed that he had lately arrived
from Paris, and that about ten o'clock on Saturday night
he tact the prisoner and another woman in Oxford-
street, and was induced to accompany them to a house
in Sheppard-street, and on entering a room he gave the
prisoner 145., and proceeded to retire to rest. While
he was sitting on the sofa the prisoner demanded
10s. more, and on his refusing to comply with
her request, she ran out of the room, followed by the
other woman. Witness, as soon as he had attired him-
self, telt Li his great-coat pocket, and missed his pocket-
book containing a bill of exchange for 2,100 francs, and
a gold pencil case. Ile immediately alarmed the house,
and went in pursuit of the prisoner, but not succeeding
in finding her, he gave information to a constable.
King, 39 0, said he was on duty in Oxford-street on
Sunday morning, about two o'clock, when the prosecutor
came up and informed him that he had been robbed i❑ a
house in Sheppard-street. Witness went with him to
the house in question, and searched the room in which
the prosecutor said he had been, but could not find any
portion of the property. From the people of the house
he got a description of the prisoner, and apprehended her
last night as she was about entering the house.
The prisoner, in defence, said she did not steal the
pocket-book, it was the other girl by the name of Levy,
us she saw her (Levy) with some papers and a gold
pencil case in her hand when she left the room.
The prisoner was remanded, and a warrant was
granted for the apprehension of Levy.

On Saturday Lord Chief Justice Campbell enter-
tained at dinner a party of her Majesty's Counsel, compris-
ing Sir Fitzroy Kelly, Q.C., Mr. M. D. Hill, Q.C., Mr.
Chilton, Q.C., Mr. Humfrey, Q.C., Mr. Whitehurst, Q.C.,
Mr. Crowder, Q.C., Mr. Montague Chambers, Q.C., Mr.
Greenwood, Q.C., Mr. Keating, Q.C., Mr. Knowles, Q.C.,

nister, Baron Brunow ; the Belgian Minister, M. Van de
Weyer; Baron Batheman ; the Duchess of Inverness, the
Duchess of Somerset, Earl and Countess Grey, Lord and
Lady 'Truro, Lord and Lady Ashley, and Lord Stanley of
Alderley. Lady Palmerston received a large party in the

EARL SPENCER AND THE PRICES OF AGRICUL•
'MEAL PRODUCE.—We have been favoured with a copy of
the following letter addressed by Lord Spencer to Mr.
Beasley, in reference to his Lordship's recent communication
to his tenantry : _

" Althorp, Dec. 5.
" My dear Sir,—The letter I wrote to you on the subject
of rents, not intended for publication, has found its way into
some of London and some of the country newspapers, and
I understand that an expression in it has been considered to
convey an opinion which I certainly did not intend it should
—namely, that my expectation is that prices of agricultural
produce will be lower than they now are.' What I meant
to say was, that I was inclined to believe prices would be
lewer than they had been before the alteration of the law. I
believe prices will be higher than they are now. For a con-
siderable time I have stated that belief, and you know I have
acted upon it on my own farm.
"I am, my dear Sir, yours faithfully,
" SPENCER.

" Mr. John Beasley, Chapel Brampton."

LEEDS MECHANICS' INSTITUTION AND LITERARY
Socisai.— The recent discovery by Dr. Faraday that all
bodies are ii fiuenced by the magnetic law, formed the subject of
a highly scientific lecture on Wednesday week, by W. Sykes
Ward, Esq. It had been formerly supposed that iron, and
a few substances besides, were exclusively the objects and
conveyors of magnetic force, but Dr. Faraday, in investiga-
ting some of the more subtle properties of light in connexion
with electromagnetism, was led incidentally to suppose the
existence of the uhiversitality of magnetic action He found
that a large number of bodies were repelled by both poles
of the magnet, and further discovery showed that the mere
aggregation of particles would serve to render a body mag-
netic or diamagnetic. These curious phenomena were very
ingeniously txnibited on a screen by the aid of the hydro-
ON gen light, and among other things a piece of fresh meat
was shown to be subject to the magnetic current, and no
doubt a man would be invo.untarily turned about if sus-
ended between the poles of a very powerul magnet. M.
Huggon moved
.a vote of thanks to Mr. Sykes Ward for his
eXcellent lecture, which was heartily responded to.—Leeds

MAGAZINES, &:c.---t CON TIN UED.)
NEW MONTHLY.

Under tho expe riot ctd editorship of Mr. Harrison
Ainsworth the veteran Ncu• Monthly still continues
to fiouri3h as it has continued to do, more or less,
during ninety volumes. Its second title, that of
" Huxnorist," is sustained not ineffectively from num.
her to number by two of its oldest contributors, Mr.
Jolly Green and Mr. Soapy Sponge, one in his
"Sporting Tour" (by this time, we should conjecture,
drawing towards its conclusion), and the other this
month in a bizarre and ludicrous "Account of the
late Papal Aggression." Foremost, however, among
the articles adorning the pages of the Neui Monthly
for December, foremost at once in point of position,
importance, and interest is the first contribution,
containing the five first chapters of a "Memoir of
the late Sir Robert Peel—by the Dean of York."
This most attractive memorial will be found fraught
throughout with new information as to the life and
character of the great statesman, information such as
justifies yet more the popular admiration for his
genius and integrity. His dauntless courage is illus-
trated by the following anecdote :
" I went with him and his father (says the Dean) to
look at an estate in Herefordshire, called Hampton
Court, which Sir Robert thought of purchasing. We
slept at the inn in Leominster. It was full of company,
and only two bedrooms could be obtanard. Young Peel
was obliged to slee p oa a sofa-bed, in a kind of cupboard
attached to the principal room. Soon after he got to
sleep he was awakened by a light, and saw a man stand-
ing by his couch with a drawn sword. The man being
questioned, hid hire not to be alarmed, for that he would
not hurt him, but that a freethascn's meeting was being
held in the next room, and that he was placed there to
prevent any intruders from breaking in upon their ce-
remonies. Mr. Peel turned round and went instantly to
sleep again. I asked him if he had not been frightened?
He said, ' No—that he was surprised at first, but did
not suppose the man would do him any harm.'
" On inquiry from the waitr in the morning, we
lesrnt that the armed man had remained three hours in
the room where the fearless youth was soundly and
c dully sleeping." _ _

Of his imperturbable self-possession the Very Rev.
Biographer observes,—
"I never knew him to be in the least excited by any-
thing but once, and that was at the death of Mr. Per-
cival. He (Mr. Peel) had assisted to secure the mur-
derer; he had supported the head of his dying friend,
whom he greatly admired and loved; and when he came
out of the House of Commons his face was certainly
flushed, and some emotion shown; but less than would
probably have been shown by any other person under
such powerful excitement."
His quarrel with O'Connell, his course of action
in regard to the Catholic Question, and his refusal to
join the Canning Administration, are all referred
to, and new light is thrown upon each topic by
private letters hitherto unpublished. From what we
have here remarked it must be evident that the "Me-
moir" is both a valuable and attractive feature in the
magazine. Besides the articles already particularised,
the New Monthly for December contains an histo
rical narrative of " The Revolt of Naples in 1647," an
amusing fragment about the appearance of " A
Frenchman in Cairo," a continuation of Nicholas
Michell's novel of "Hester Somerset" and another
instalment of " Paul Masterton's dventures." Added
to these, we have, as poetical contributions, a ballad
called "The Dying Bridegroom," by William
Charles Kent, and a song of the month for December,
by J. E. Carpenter. The number is brought to a
conclusion by a more than usually lengthened notice
of current literature.

THE DYING BRIDEGROOM.
(From the New Menthy Magazine)
BY WILLIAM CHARLES RENT, AUTHOR OF "ALETHEIA,
The lattice trembled open,
And cool the summer air,
Thro' the woodbine wafting sweetness,
Stirred the dying student's hair,
And on evening's purple silence streamed,
His voice breathed like a prayer:
" Come nearer, Alice, nearer;
Lay your hand upon my brow:
I am free from suffering, dearest,
And my thoughts are calmer now,
And I love to feel you clinging,
Like the blossom to the bough.
" Let me clasp your blessed fingers—
There—l press them to my lips:'
They are thin with all this watching
How Time's sand too glibly slips:
Mine were warmer when my fancies
Felt the fever's dire eclipse!
" Nay, shudder not so wildly;
It is past—that gloomy strife I
All my mind's delirium vanished
With this ebbing out of life:
I'm a very child in weakness now,
My gentle-hearted wife !
"Draw your arm around my shoulders—so
And,let me lay my bead,
Weary—weary, love, but loving,:
On your breast—my sweetest bed;
And perhaps sometimes you'll fancy me
Still here when I am dead.
" Shall you find it very lonely,
When the twilight drawing 'round,
You will watch my empty corner
On our hearth's beloved ground;
And you pause to hear—alas! in vain—
My tongue's familiar sound?
" Oh, weep not, Alice, weep not!
I cannot bear those tears;
I would staunch them with my kisses,
And dispel your better fears,
With our memories of bygone hours,
And hopes of happy years.
" How sweet the breezy vesper
Spreads abroad its faint perfumes,
Fanning thro' the open window 4
Where the honeysuckle blooms:
Think you, Alice, there are blossoms
Such as those among the tombs?
"Nay, do not shut the lattice,
For the mild air sheds a balm
O'er my temples. 'Tis not chilling;
And the eve is hushed and calm,
And its fitful murmur rises
With the sadness of a psalm.
" Hark! the village bells are chiming—
Do you hear them down the dale?
They were joyful once, beloved,
When they told our wedding tale;
But their merry sounds ring harshly now,
With tones of no avail.
" To me their plaintive music,
As they vibrate to and fro
In the ivied belfry winging,
When the winds of evening blow,
Seems like the solemn dirges sung
O'er friends gone years ago.
"Yet think not idle sorrows
Such as these I now can feel;
No, my heart's adored treasure!
Other griefs around me steal,
Thoughts of agonised affection,
Broken words but half reveal.
" I am thinking, 0 my fairest!
Of those days almost divine,
When to these poor arms that beauty
You were willing to resign.
When your virgin faith you plighted,
And I found you—Alice—mine.
" Mine, unworthy in my eeskness;
Mine, though humbly, I could own
Not u rood of fair possessions
Where the leaves of God are grown:
Mine, though poorest and obscurest—
Mine, my Alice, trine alone!
" Brief and golden are the moments
That have vanished since that morn
When hit her to our cottage
From the bridal you w re borne;
Scarce, since then, three moons have lip. < el
Milky greenness in the corn.
" It has pleated the God who made us,
In His wisdom to afford
But few glimpses of that rapture
That we dreamt of and adored,
When you chose me from all others
For your proud though lowly lord.
"Yet, with all my pangs of anguish,
White I see you by my sloe,
Looking down with tender patience
On the love by death denied, •
I am filled with glad emotions,
O my glory! 0 my bride!
" All the fame I yearned to vanquish,
This frail mind no more can seek.
Clasp me nearer to thy bosom—
Let me kiss thy pallid cheek. •
Ob, my Alice, grief is stronger,
Though my tailing voice be weak.
" But the chalice of my sorrows
God is filling to the brim.
Kiss my forehead, Alice, quickly,
For my eyes are growing dim;
Kiss my lips, love—closer, closer.
Oh, my senses faint and swim!"
She is bending o'er him fondly,
Shedding fast the briny rain;
On Les heart her palm she presses,
And—like madness in her brain—
Feels, oh God! it beats no longer,
Knows it ne'er can throb again.

CAMBRIDGE.—The fines imposed by the borough
magistrates on the Proctor (the Rev. John Fenwick, M.A.),
and his two attendants, Boning and Robinson, for an assault
upon Miss Thompson, at the hearing on Tuesday last, were
paid on Saturday. The matter had remained in abeyance
till that day, in consequence of the absence of Mr. Hyde (the
Rev. Proctor's legal adviser) from Cambridge. The Rev.
Gentleman declined to pay the money until the form of cap-
ture was gone through, in order to afford ground for an ac-
tion for false imprisonment, which it is alleged is to be pro-
secuted cm the part, of the University against the borough
magistrates. Mr. Fenwick was according formally appre-
hended by the superintendent of police, with whom an ar•
rangement had been made for the purpose, in a room in Nr.
Hyoe's office, and he would in due course have been con.
veyed to the borough gaol if the fine and costs had not been
discharged. A cheque for the amount was handed over, and
the Rev. Gentleman was released. The same form was then
gone through, but in another room, with his subordinates,
or " bulldogs," and the matter was concluded. The Town
Council will, of course, support the magistrates, and so "a
very pretty quarrel" may be expected.
MON UM EAT TO LORD thaFFERY.—The committee
of subscribers to the monument to the memory of the late
Lord Jeffrey met on Friday to decide whether the memorial
should be a work of sculpture or of architecture. The deci-
sion was in favour of sculpture. - A. small sub-committee
was accordingly appointed to take measures for procuring a
statute of the late lamented judge and critic. The subscrip-
tions in the hands of the committee amount to 2,2001., a
-um which, it is hoped, will suffice to defray the cost of the
statute, and to leave enough besides for the erection of a
slight monument over the grave in the Dean Cemetery. The
statute will probably be placed in the Outer Filament
lbaileoPFord &Midi 111411.

COURT-MARTIAL ON AN OFFICER
OF THE lOUS-all REGIMENT.
A general; court-martial assembled on Tuesday at the
Ca7alry Barracks, Exeter, to try Lieut. Arthur Vaughan
Donniiherne Harris, 4th King's Own Regiment, on the
following charge of ura,ffietrlike and insubordinate con-
duct, to the prejudice of good order. and discipline, in
the following instances:—
First Instance—For having on or about the 19th of
November, 1850, he being at that time on duty as re-
gimental detachment orderly officer, 4th King's Own
Regiment, stationed in the citadel of Plymouth, ex-
hibited, or caused to be exhibited, at the window of his
barrack-room, and in the same, within the above-men-
tioned fortress, a placard of whighly insulting tendency
towards his superior officer, Captain John Josiah Hort,
of the 4th King's Own Regiment, to wit:—" I hereby
proclaim Captain Hort, of the 4th King's Own Regiment,
to be e liar and a coward—Signed, Christopher Arthur
Harris;" or words to the like eff, ct.
Second Instance—ln having, on or about the 19th of
November, 1850, spoken to a non-commissioned officer,
Reg. No. 1,302, Corporal John Mcßride, 4th King's
Own Regiment. in words to the following effect:—That
Captain John Jo,ish Hort, of the 4th King's Own Re-
giment, was a scoundrel and a bully, and had behaved
so to him; that he could not and would not fight—" I
could make a drummer-boy beat him," or words to that
t ffect—he, the said Captain John Josiah Hort, being his
(Lieutenant Harris's) superior officer.
The court having been opened with the usual forma-
lities, and the members duly sworn, Lieut. Harris
pleaded not guilty to the charge. Lieut.-Col. Gold, of
the 4th (King's Own) Regiment, appeared ,as prose-
cutor ; the prisoner was professionally assisted by Mr.
J. Beer.
Ensign P. N. Beeton, saw the placard in Lieut.
Harris's room, and he described it as printed in large
letters on yellow paper. The question as to what was
on the placard was objected to by the accused, on the
ground that it ought to be produced, and the court was
cleared. (It may be stated here, once for all, that ob-
jection to a question was followed invariably by clear-
ing the court, and was of very frequent occurrence.)
On re-opening, the President overruled the objection,
and the witness said from recollection he thought the
words were—" I hereby proclaim Captain Hort to be a
liar, and a coward, signed Christopher Arthur Harris."
Witness said he thought it was carrying things too far.
The placard was stuck against the wall, at the upper end
of Lieut. Harris's room, and was conspicuous to all en-
tering it. A question by the accused, whether similar
placards had not been posted over the three towns of
Plymouth, Devonport, and Stonehouse, was objected to,
and not permitted to be put.
At four o'clock the court rose.
The trial was continued on Wednesday and Thursday,
when witnesses were examined to prove the case against
the accused; but they were ordered not to answer ques-
tions put for the purpose of bringing before the court the
circumstances out of which the quarrel between Captain
Hort and Lieutenant Harris arose. After the case for
the prosecution had been closed,
Mr. Beer was permitted to read a written defence, ex-
pressing Lieutenant Harris's regret for what had oc-
curred, but ascribing it entirely to the treatment he had
received from Captain Hort, whilst at Drake's Island.
That treatment consisted of many trifling things, and
many of a more serious nature, but he refrained from
going into them, as all the other officers who had been
implicated in it bad apologised to him. He expressed
his regret also that he had not left the quarrel in the
hands of his father, instead of rushing into it himself.
Several officers gave Lieutenant Harris a good cha-
racter; and the defence being concluded, the court rose.
The sentence will not be known till coufirmed at head-
quarters. A correspondent says—
" The history of the circumstances leading to this un-
pleasant branch was not permitted to transpire through
the defendant's witnesses, but rumour ascribes it to
Lieutenant's Harris having been made the butt of the
mess, with the sanction of Captain Hort, and subjected to
the most disagreeable system of practical joking; wine
beii.g poured over his shirt and rum and water down his
back, and Himself thrown into the water whilst the regi-
ment was at Drake's Island. His father, to whom he
complained, sent a challenge to Captain Hort; but that
officer wrote denying any cognisance of the treatment
complained of, and refused a meeting, whereupon Chris-
topher Arthur Harris, the father, posted him as a liar
and coward, in the manner disclosed, which has brought
the son into a position which may cost him his com-
mission."

SHIRE JUNCTION RArusva.y.--The ordinary half-yearly meet-
ing of this company w;-..:s held on Saturday, at the offices in
Guildhall-chambers, Basinghall-street ; Mr. R. G. Alston in
the chair. A report was presented from the directors, which
stated at some length the result of certain legal proceedings.
These proceedings it was stated, would, in the course of a
few weeks, place the shareholders in a condition to consider
their ulterior measures; and it was, therefore, suggested that
the meeting should be adjourned to an early day in March.
The report added that Mr. Wintour Harris had been ap-
pointed secretary in the place of Dr. Mackenzie, resigned;
and, in conclusion, the directors expressed a confident hope
that the difficulties they had to contend with, when they
took office in December, 1847, were rapidly approaching their
termination, and that the time was Rot distant when mea-
sures of permanent benefit to the shareholders might be
devised and carried out. In accordance with the suggestion
in the report, the meeting was adjourned to the 7th of March.
INTENDED ERECTION IF LEJCESTER-SQUARE..---M8
protracted litigation between the Tuik family and the repre-
sentatives of the late Mr. Moxhay as to the title to the

ILLNESS OF THE B!surr OF OXFORD.--The Bishop
of Oxford arrived at the Palace, Fulham, on Saturday, on a
visit to the Bishop of Loudon, with the intention of preaching
at Lambeth Old Church yesterday morning, on behalf of the
Southwark fund for building churches and schools (in that
deanery). The Bishop was suffering from a cough and vio-
lent irritation of the windpipe on Saturday; but it was
hoped by nursing and a night's rest his Lordship would have
been relieved; but on Sunaay morning he was much worse
and quite incapable of exertion. The sermon at Lambeth
Church was preached by the senior curate. the Rev. J. Cave
Browne. The church was crowded 11114 if 0 11bstal rot

Jean Baptiste Guichard, a hairdresser of Angou-
la,ne, husband of deceased's daughter, said he had ac-
companied his brother•in-law to the cure's on hearing
of the death, and that the cure pretended that the body
was in such a state of putrefaction that he had been
obliged to bury it without delay. He even burned
incense to take away the smell, but witness smelt
nothing. Dr. du Sablon told them that deceased had
died frcm a congestion of the brain, brought on by
drinking. They asked the cure to say a !miss for
deceased's soul, and he consentA. His bro7her in-
law subsequently wrote to the cure, stating his suspi-
cions and demanding explanations, but the curs re-
turned no reply,
Mule. Gulchlrd, wife of 'he last witness, was then
led into the box, but she was inunediAtrly seized with
a violent nervous attack, and was carried senseless from
the court.

Two witnesses, named Marolaui, a pastrycook, and
Tascher, a tailor, stated that deceased had informed
them of the adulterous connexion she had witnessed
between the two accused.
Gothland here exclaimed that all the woman had
said was infamous calumnies, but that he despised
them.

The President asked him to explain how it was
that, if calumnieted, he had written such a compli-
mentary letter on the deceased ?—He said it was a
piece of irony on his part. She had dictated the let-
ter, and he now thought she had done so to lay a snare
for him. She was animated with the worst senti-
ments towards him.
Jarton, a labourer of M. du Sablon, said that when
he asked his maser for poison to kill rate, the latter
looked for it in his medicine chest, but did not find
it. Madame du Sablon said, " You know you gave
the phial to your mother, and that she brought it
back partly empty." She then pointed to it on the
chimney-piece, and witness took it.
Several witnesses then deposed to what the de-
ceased had told them respecting the cure and Ma-
dame du Sablon. One of them, the cure's tailor,
mentioned the reports to Gothlend, and he declared
them abominable calumnies. He even requested wit-
ness to tell the-bishop that they were current. Wu-
ness observed that even if they were false it could do
the prisoner no good to have them related to the
bishop, but Gothland insisted, and witness told the
bishop.
Madame Guichard, having recovered, stated that
her mother had told her of the correspondence be
tween the cure and Madame du Sablon, and also of
their criminal connexion. Witness recommended her
not to leave the cure's on that account, as she had in-
tended doing. The witness gave details respecting
her mother's little fortune to prove that dismissal
from the cure's service would have been of no great
importance.
Savaignac, the 'village schoolmaster, said—among
other things—that when deceased was in delirium
jast before her death he, on entering the room, e;:w
Madame du Sablon by the bedside, but when she
saw him she went away. The day after deceased's
body was exhumed witness dined with the cure; he
was very gloomy, and spoke of the probability or his
being sent to prison.
Madame Savaignac said that the deceased had
been very thirsty, and vomited a good deal. She
added that the beadle had told her that he had seen
the cure and Madame du Sablon leave the church al-
most together late one eveaing.
Jeanne Berne, servant of Madame du Sablon, said
that she prepared soups and drinks for the deceased.
Her mistress was present. She sometimes went away
whilst the things were on the fire, leaving her mis-
tress to watch over them. Had tasted a soup in
which Madame du Sablon had put salt, and found
that it was too salted. A certain white soup, on which
the prosecution laid great stress as baying been pre-
pared by Madame du Sablon was, the witness now
asserted, prepared on a Wednesday, not a Tue,:day ;
but this was in contradiction to what she had stated
in the preliminary examinations. She now also stated
that she was one day surprised at seeing the deceased
descend the stairs of M. du Sablon's house ; and she
asserts d that she was now convinced that she had
then gone to get poison. But not only was it
stated that the witness had never before men-
tioned this circumstance, but it was proved that
deceased could not, as witness pretended, have
entered the house.on the day in question without being
seen. The witness had herself been implicated in the
accusation, and had undergone five months' imprison-
ment, but her innocence had afterwards been ascer-
tained. Her evidence altogether, however, was in
such flagrant contradiction to her rst statements, and
so manifestly false on other points, that the Court de-
clared her guilty of perjury, and had her arrested.
She wars sent to gao'.
A female named Blanchet attended deceased in her
sickness, and saw the cure prepare sugared wine for
her.

THE EXTRAORDINARY POISON-
ING CASE.
54 The trial of the Abbe Gothiand and Madams du
Sablon, for the murder, by means of poison, of the
widow Diguisal, servant of the former, was preceeded
with by the Court of Assize.; of Angouleme on Fri-
- day, Saturday, Sunday, and Monday. It continued
tee. to excite the most intense interest, not only in An-
gouleme, but throughout all the department. The
court was crowded to excess, and vast numbers as-
sembled in the streets to see the prisoners pass from
the prison to and from the court. Once or twice the
people uttered cries against the accused, but they
% were suppressed. The female prisoner was on each
day accompanied by her husband, her sister, and
brother-in-law, and on one occasion by a representa-
tive of the people, one of her relatives. On Sunday
- her son, a child of eleven, was placed in the dock with
ice her ; but his presence created such a painful impres-
sion on the jury and the auditory that he was not al-
- lowed to return. The Abbe Gothiand displayed on
each day the greatest self- possession, and made occa-
'34 sional observations on the evidence of different wit-
nesses. Madame du Sablon was paler than at first,
and at times shed tears.
Dr. Montalembert, a physician of Angouleme, M.
Lesueur, chief of chemical operations of the Faculty
of Paris, and M. Sicaud, chemist of Angouleme, de-
posed that they had examined the bowels of the de-
ice. ceased, and had found a considerable quantity of ar-
senic. M. Lesueur said it appeared probable that
the poison had been administered at different times
) during several days.
The Procureur of the Republic asked the witness
if he was sure of that.
34 The witness said that to be quite sure he must
have seen the poison administered himself, but he had
no doubt whatever on the point.
M. Sicaud also said that he was perfectly satis-
fied in his own mind that death had not. been caused
:4 instantaneously, but from poison administered day
by day.
M. Robert, a drug-Oat at Angou'eate, proved that
he sold Dr. Salon 60 grammes of arsenic on the
15th, 16th, or 17th December (a few days before the
alleged murder), and that he had placed on the phial
the inscription "Arsenic—poison."
Another witness, named Royer, a druggist, who
had examined the phial after the body of the deceased
ice. was dug up, said that it did not contain the quantity
of arsenic which it ought to have done, after taking
into account what Dr. du Sablon had employed to
kill rats.
In answer to the President, Dr. Montalembert said
that half a gramme of arsenic, if absorbed, would
suffice to cause death.
Several witnesses who bad known the deceased in-
timately deposed that she was remarkable for her love
of life, and that when she had the slightest indisposi-
tion she took extreme care of herself. They asserted
.34 that, in their opinion, nothing could have driven her
ea to suicide. Most of them stated that she was tenderly
attached to her son and daughter, and they to her;
but some said they had heard her complain of then),
ts especially of the latter. One witness mentioned that
she had rather a sharp tongue, and was somewhat
ice' given to tasking scandal. It was Madame du Sablon
' and her sister who had engaged the deceased to be
servant to the cure ; they had asked a tradeswoman of
Angou7etrie to recommend them some one.
2 M. Ordonneau, brother of the deceased, declared
1.36 that his sister could not have committed suicide; she
t loved life to well fur that. She was not dissatisfied
)% with her situation et the cure's, and if she had lost it
tae
!le witness would have provided for her. Witness had
owed 200 f. to his nephew, Edmond, and his mother
wrote to her son, to ask him to let her have 50f. from
him ; such was the,son's affection for her that he at
) once sent a most touching letter to say that she might
le; receive the whole 200 f.
Edmond Deguisal, son of the victim, then presented
6d himself, and his appearance excited great interest. He
3 said that he was living with his mother when she en-
-7-
17s tered the service of the cure. He had then told her
that if the place should not suit her, she could return
• whenever she pleased. After a while she told him
3‘) of what she had seen between the cure and
- Madame du Sablon, through the hole in the ceiling,
I 8 and she manifested an intention to leave. At a later
od period she brought him a letter from the cure, in
'36 which he stated that he was greatly pleased with his
mother, and had raised her wages to 100 f. In pre
senting the letter, his mother said that she bad had a
" scene" with the cute, that she charged him with
his adulterous connexion with Madame du Sablon,
. that he had thereupon told her that she should never
leave him, and had written the letter. The cure, by a
letter dated the 20th December. announced that his
ice•mother had just died, and recommended him to come
in three or four days to settle accounts. He was sur-
; prised that he had not been invited to the funeral, and
ei went off at once with his brother-in-law. When they
arrived the Abbe Gothiand appeared astonished. He
said deceased died of congestion of the brain. Het
ee seemed ill at ease, and hurried from the room to, as
he said, get some wine. As soon as he had gone out
M. du Sablon entered, and told witness that he had
'34 peid every attention to his mother. When the
cure returned he said that he had also taken great care
of the deceased, and had given her drink all night. But
the curd spoke little.
The President asked the witness whether, on re-
ceiving the news of his mether's death, he was not
surprised, and did not conceive set-picions?—Wit-
ness said that he bad at once suspected foul play, in
consequence of what his mother had seen take
place between Madame du Sablon and the cure.
His suspicions were confirmed when he learned
that his mother had been buried with such great
haste.
The accused Gothiand said that the statements of
witness were false in many respects. He had pro-
posed to the deceased, when ill, to send for her son and
relatives, but she had refused.
The President observed that accused could not ex-
pect to be believed, as he had spoken falsely during
all the preliminary examinations; as he had even told
a lie in stating to witness that the death had occurred
on the 20rh, whereas it had occurred on the 21st, and
as, moreover, he had lied in saying that deceased had
received the sacraments.
The accused observed, " Oh ! as to the last point,
I said that from Christian charity !" (This caused
murmurs of disapprobation in the court.) He then
complained that the examining megistrotes had acted
unfairly in the investigetien, and intimidated the wit-
nesses; but the President said such a complaint was
I The proceedings were continued throughout the
unfoueded.

Madame Marchadier, a young and very pretty
woman, of Million, three kilometres from Saint
Germain, raid that when the authorities went to Saint
Germain to make investigations re,pecting the affair,
Madame do Sablon wrote her a letter requesting her
as a friend to visit her at once, in company with ano-
ther friend, Mlle. Eludie Doury. The letter said—
" I aoi innocent of what I am accused of, but it is
hard to be suspected when one is without
reproach. I have my conscience for me,
but I am not the less unhappy." Witness and
Mlle. Doury immediately went to Sat)tons' house.
They found the door of the staircase closed, and the
.sabots of M and Madame du Sublon on the lowest step.
They attempted to force open the door, hut not suc-
ceeding, they sent for the village blacksmith, who
opened it. They found the door of the bed-room
closed. "Ali ! Mon Dieu!" cried Mlle. Doury,
"some misfortune has happened." The servant who
accompanied them began weeping. Witness said—
"It is not tears we want, but action and courage I"
and she made the blacksmith open the door. She
then entered the room. It was full of smoke.
" Ali," she cried," the unfortunate creatures have suf-
focated them,elves !" She immediately opened the
windows. The little boy was on the bed ;
Doury caught him in her arms, and carried him to
the window. The father and mother were in an ad-
jacent cabinet, the door of which was closed. At the
bottom of the door some cloth had been thrust to pre-
vent the entrance of air. The heat was suffocating.
Dr. du Sablon was lying on a mattrass, with his head
hanging down. Madame du Sablon was leaning with
her head on the legs of her husband, and was close to
a burning pan of charcoal The hair of the doctor
was on end, his eyes were turned up, and his mouth
was covered with foam. Witness carried out
Madame du Sablon, and Mlle. Doury cried for help
from the window.

The President asked Madame du Sahlon if before
attempting suicide she had not had an explanation
with her husband ?—She replied in the affirmative.
The President—This explanation must have b,-en
very grave; there must have been a very long conflict
between you ? Accused—lf my husband had con-

sidered me guilty, he would not - have sacrificed his

life to me.

President—You do not reply to my question. Ac-
cused—My husband said he would sooner see me die
than go to prison.
President—But if you were innocent, you ought to
have told him that you would not consent to commi
suicide.

Accand--:I did not wish ft, but my bus

band insisted.

President—And you determined to put your child
:o death with you? Accused—lt was my husband

who wished it:

President—LYou did not speak of suicide in your
letter to Mme. Marchadier? Accused—No; but 1
sent my servant with the letter to get her out of

the way.
President—At that time (the sth February) you
were not threatened with arrest ? Accused—My
husband had asked the Procureur of the Republic if
he were concerned in the talk, and on receiving a
reply in the negative, my husband said, " And my
wife ?" "Ah !" said the Procureur, " as regards your
wife it is a different thing."
The Procureur of the Republic observed that he had
not said this.

President—lt was then that your husband took the
resolution of committing suicide ? Accused—Yes.
Here the letters which Dr. du Sablon wrote to his
parents and bi,4 ter were read. They excited great
emotion in the court. Madame du Sablon wept bit-
terly ; her husband also wept ; and the accused
Gothand, who had displayed almost stoical firmness
during the trial, had great difficulty in restraining
his emotion.
The cull of Marthon, M. Minard, buried the body
of the deceased. When the coffin was conveyed into
the church, the accused, Gothland, recommended that
it should be borne as gently as possible, as the corpse
exhaled a bad smell. Some time after the accused

expressed the opini, n that perhaps deceased bad poi
soned herself. The deceased had expressed to witness

the fear that the accused would discharge her; and
on his saying that her children would assist her, she
said that they had ill-treated her, and that she would
sooner (lie than apply to them. He, however, did
not think that this was serious.
