TRIAL OF LIEUTENANT WARREN.

As we formerly stated, Thomas Warren is a tail
man, remarkably corpulent, and of extraordinary
strength, wearing thick mustachios. The act of
accusation, having been read by M. Cathrinet, is in
effect as follows :

On the Ist of January last, at half-past ten
o'clock in the evening, three Englishmen, named
Frazer, Gillivray, and Kingston, were in Pool's esta-
minct, the sign of the White Horse, No. 6, Rue
Favart. This house is almost exclusively frequented
by Englishmen.
Warren, who is an Irishman, and a Frenchman
named Chamonard, his friend, entered shortly after-
wards, and sat down at another table. A minute
had only elapsed when a quarrel ensued betwixt
Kingston awl Chamonard, in which Frazer having
taken a part, a violent uproar ensued. Warren, in a
transport of fury, gave Frazer a violent blow, which
overturned him. From the testimony of two witnesses
it appeared he had given him a blow with the knee
ou the lower part of the belly, and when down had
given him a kick on the same part, and then snap-
ping his fingers, exclaimed, It's over." The witch
having been sent fur, and having made their appear-
ance, Warren entrenched himself behind the tables,
and, making a demonstration of the most desperate
resistance, he escaped by a back door.
Next day he returned to the estaminet for his hat,
which he had left behind him, where he stated that
he regretted exceedingly that he had not killed
Frazer; and that if he should meet him again he
should put powder and ball into his belly. In effect,
the unfortunate Frazer was still in life, but having
beers carried to the Hotel Meurice, he died seven
days afterwards. Upon opening the body, it ap-
peared that the intestines had been injured, although
there was no trace of an external contusion.

Warren, having been interrogated by M. le Pre-
sident, expressed himself to the following effect:—
" I was in the estaminet of the White Horse with
M. Paul Chamonard, my friend, where some Eng-
lishmen had arrived before us. AL Paul having re-
ceived some rude expressions from Mr. Kingston,
who is a reputed boxer, went forward to knock his
hat off his head. I stepped in between them.
When doing so, Frazer called me a moustache, and
other injurious expressions. In reply to which,
I applied to him the terms cochon and manant, but
did not strike him. He fell ; and I presume that
the people who were beside him may have trampled
upon him during the result. The crowd then turn-
ed towards me, in order to murder me; upon which
I took a pair of snuffers from the table, and said,
I shall open the belly of the first assassin who ap-
proaches me.' The watch was then sent for. In
the meantime, however, the waiters of the estami-
net caused me to depart."
• Mr. Kingston, a young man, nineteen years of
age, was the first witness examined. He declared
that he and his friends, after having drank punch
and Madeira at a coffee-house, went to the estami-
net called the White Horse, where they had more
liquor. I heard, the witness added, some gentle-
men, who were behind us, speak of a famous Eng-
lish boxer named Bell. I understood that these ob-
servations were in allusion to me, and asked an
explanation. One of them, M. Chamonard, gave
me an impertinent reply, upon which Mr. Frazer,
taking a glass in his hand, broke it, and said, " this
is too much ;" whereupo❑ the prisoner attacked
Mr. Frazer like a madman.

Warren.—Did you net take up a bottle in order
to throw at my head ?
Kingston.—This was after Frazer's accident, and
I certainly would have thrown the bottle if I had not
been restrained.

Mr. Jones, an English physician and a relation of
Frazer's, stated, that he had been called to the Hotel
Meurice to attend the deceased, on the 2d of Jan.
who was ill, and whose recollection did not return
until the next day. He did not even know how the
accident had occurred.

Paul ChamoNard, in the employment of the
Minister of Commerce, deposed that when he came
to the estaminet, Warren was quietly conversing
with three Englishmen ; he having put a hat out of
its place, in a moment the three Englishmen fell
upon Warren in the most outrageous manner. Whilst
Warren was repelling them, witness went to
M. Naas, an officer of the King's household, and
said to him, " M. Warren is at blows with some
Englishmen who mean to murder him. You must
come to his assistance." _ _

M. le President—You go farther than Warren
himself in his defence. He has not hitherto said
that the three Englishmen attacked him.
Warren—l beg pardon ; they did attack me.
There were more than three of them. There were
thirty or forty, I believe. It was not until after M.
Chamonard had left us that Frazer fell.
M. Hardom, president of the court, summed up
the evidence in the most concise anti luminous man-

ner. The charge of wilful homicide was thrown
aside ; but that of blows and wounds having been
inflicted being fully sustained, Thomas Warren
was condemned to fifteen months' imprisonment,
and to pay a fine of 100 francs.—Journal des Debals.
