At the Court of Assize for the Department of die

condemned to death, for an attempt to murder a ser-
vant, of the name of Isabella Demadrille. The cir-
cumstances of this barbarous attempt ore remarkable,
and 'evince great female heroism. On the morning
of the Sd of March. Weynar called on Isabella's mos-
ter, an old aurseryman, under pretence ot purchasing
some shrubs. 'Hating affected to choose several, he
said he would call for them in the evening. Accord.
ingly, at three o'clock in the afternoon, he returned.
Isabella, who opened the cher, told him that her
mailer was out ; nevertheless, Weynar entered, and
placed himself opposite' the fire-place, in the dining-
parlour: Isabella being seated in a corner of the
room from whicn the could not observe Weynar's
motions. and having a Prayer book. in her hand, the
latter asked her if she was praying to Goa ? and on
her answering in the affirmative. he struck her on the
forehead with a hammer. The blow stunned the
poor girl, a second and a third knocked her down—a
fourth bathed herin blood. The ruffian way about
