HORRIBLE INFANTICIDE.—The Court of Assizes
of Bonches-du-Rhone was occupied en the 2d ult. with the
trial of the widow Clarelly, aged 62, her daughter Marie
Clavelly, aged 31, and the aunt of the latter, Rosalie Deems,
aged 60, for having, on September the 22d, murdered a new-
born child by pouring boiling-water down its throat. It
appeared from the evidence that the prisoners all lived together
at Aix, in great respectability, with the mother of the tr
elder prisoners, an old woman of 99, whom they treated with
the most filial affection. On the night of the murder the
younger prisoner was suddenly taken ill, and, after an hour
passed in great pain, confessed to her mother and east that she
was in labour, and would be soon delivered. The two elder
prisoners were horror-struck at the disgrace thus about to be
thrown en the family, and they determined to kill the child.
As soon as it was born they poured hot water down its throat;
and then pressed the windpipe until life had fled. They
informed the younger prisoner that the child was dead, and the
aunt went and laid it in the street. Sofne persons in passing
found it there, and the authorities having been informed of tie
circumstance, immediately institute) an investigation, which
brought to light the fact that the younger prisoner was ill, and
had lately been delivered of a child. The limily were taken
up on suspicion, and the two elder prisoners confessed that the
child had been made away with by them as stated above. On
the trial, when asked what. could have tempted them to commit
such a crime, they declared that "they had lost their senses to
a certain degree in seeing their family dishonoured. 'They had
not been moved by any fear of the justice of God, though they
had dreaded the opinion of men. '1 he jury considering that
nothing, hail been proved against the younger prisoner acquitted
her, and'' she was set at liberty after a very affecting address
from the Court. The two other prisoners were found guilty,
and sentenced to imprisonment for ten years, with hard labour
and exposure on the pillory.— Galignaries Messenger.
