At the Court of Assizes flu'. the. Yonne, held at
Auxerre, a woman aged 30, named Celestine Darlev,
was tried a few days ago for the murder of her brother
Nicolas. They wore orphans, the father and mother
having died, leaving a small property of 15,000 f. to be
divided among five children. 'Nicolas was subject to
epileptic fits, which had impaired his intellects. Until
he should be properly disposed of, iti was agreed that
ho should live with his sistei, Celestine. They,
however, frequently quarrelled, and Celestine, in October,
received a blow on the breast from Nicolas, which left a
severe bruise. She, in consequence,' went to a neigh-
bour demanding an asylum for the

she could no longer live with her brother, and, at the
same time, expressing her fears that he would soon be

brother dead on the floor of his bed-room. An
either one of
inves-
tigation was ordered, and an autopsy taken, the result
of which was a decided conviction that the man had
been murdered by his sister with some blunt instru-
ment, as the skull was fractured, and there were
which

on the body,
cause death. The sister, at
length, confessed the crime, but declared that it
was unpremeditated. She said her brother had
actually fallen out of his bed in a fit, and finding him
thus at her mercy, the idea of ridding herself from him
came suddenly into her mind, and she struck him with a
mallet. On the trial she repeated her confession, and the
Jury found her guilty of the murder without premedita-
tion, and, at the same time, returned that there were ex-
tenuating circumstances. The Court sentenced her to
hard labour fpr 20 years, old to be exposed on the
pigory.
