punished for theft ; 967 were promoted for the same crime in
1828. Among the former sentences,2l in the 100 were fur crimrs
against the person. In the new prosecutions there were only II
in the 100, which seems to chew that pisnishmstit is more effica-
cious to soften the passions which threaten personal safety. than to
correct the vices which lead to the violation of the right of property.
Ihe Correctional Tribunals had o try. In 1898, 5,578 persons

Uniting the accused to the arraigned. of those who bad relapsed
the total is 4,760, who having been punished and discharged were
prosecuted again in 1828. Of this number 292 had been previously
fined, 2073 had been imprisoned for less than one year, 1771 ini-
planned more than one year, 276 had been condemned to close
confinement, and 348 to hard laiour. Of these three latter classes,
with the exception of 394 whose history hoot known, 298 were in

women ; the latter proportion was funned of the prisoners at Loos,
which contains both sexes.
The central house of Nimes only gave 16 relapsed out of 109
persons discharged, Clermont (01e) 17,. of Montpellier 19, of
au (Hautes-Alpes) 22, of Lysees (Lot and Garonne) 24, dif

100 persons discharged. 62 who were re-accused.
Investigation. are to be made with a view to ascertain the causes
of these differences in establishments which appear to be regulated
by the same laws.
The results of the new prosecutions directed against discharged
criminals were, that 406 have beer acquitted, 243 lined, came placed
in the pillory, 17 condemned to death, 479 sent, nod to hard labour
for life or fur a term of years, 1.577 sentenced to imprisnotneot for
lees than one year ; and finally, 1,937, including 168 persons dis-
charged from the kaiaks. have bees sentenced to close confinement
or to imprisonment for more than one year, which they are to suf-
fer in the central booms of detention, which unforteJately, afford
no means of separating them from other prisoners.
The total number of the condemned, who, according to their
punishment. must have been seat to these central houses in 5828.
was 9 451, and the relapsed ponies of these 22 in the 100.
The time which has passed between the liberation and the relapse
has been carefully marked in several tables, tor all claws of crimi.
cola. The proportion of those who have relapsed in the first year
of their return is 28 in the hundred of the galley slaves ; 26 of those
who had undergone the punishment of solitary confinement ; 37 of
those who had suffered imprisonment for a year and upwards; 47
of those imprisoned for a shorter period. Thus, in the last year,
those who have undergone the severest punishments appear less
ready to resume their criminal pursuits.
Several tables of the brat and second part point out the age of the
individuals who bad relapsed at the time o( their first or their last
*mottoes. We see there that 1.231 individual*, out of 4,760, a
little more than a quarter. bad not attained their 216 year when
they entered the career of crime. They would. perhaps, have been
corrected by their first eentence, if it bad been possible to plate
them in private prisons conformably to the wise provision of the
Royal Ordinance of Sept. 9, 1814.
The third part of the account presents. in live tables, the num-
ber of the decisions pronounced by the Police Tribunals in each
department. We And there 95.5119 cases, and 132.167 persons

,than in 1827.
The fourth part comprehends twenty-three tables, in which are
dossed all information with respect to the preparation and decision
• criminal and correctional proceedings.
the Chambers of the Council of the Tribunals of the First In-
BMW have discharged from proceedings 16.409 culprits, of whom
7,114 had been apprehended during the balladry. That is a little

The Chambers of Accusation have dischargeil 1,357 culprits ;
1145 were In prison ; they were detained as follows t—For kss than
a month, 237 ; from one to two months, 306; frog, two to three
months, 191 ; from throe to di months, 99 ; above six month..
91. Two were detained by virtue of a preceding sentence.
Among the facts, the causes of which justice was bound to
verify, we remark 4.155 accidental deaths, 1,764 suicides, and 116
dads, 29 of which were products', of death.

The Chambers of Couried have pronounced in all 41,647 decrees.
which is 2,633 more than in 1827. The number of cases submitted
to that Stu degree of jurisdiction has continually increased for the
last for years; however, the zeal of the blagi.trates has, in every
your, been able to increase the celerity of their prism-alines. In
1825, decrees to the number or 81 iu the 100 were prosoumed iii

Jury to the Int de months, instead of 64, sod that progress !Lie
been prindpally found in those places in which your Majesty re-
marked most slowness. It is Arne that the proportion In the tie

Montpelier, from 411 to 56; at Pot, trom 56 to 60; at Ilionht•n
46 to 54 ;at Toulouse, from 39 to 46. Mk remit appeared to
me worthy of being remarked to your Majesty, because, by pros-
lug praiseworthy efforts, it skews that the slowness does: not arise
from insurmountable obstacles.

A new table shows the duration of a process beginning wit► the
time the accused is placed in the bands of justice : ninety in the
hundred accused persons have been tried within the six first
mont►s, and forty. three in the hundred the first three month,. In
Angers and Orleans, foci-nine in the hundred have been tried in
sit months, 82 and 59 in three months.
The Correctional Tribunals have d. termined eighty-six eases In
the hundred, in the space of three months from the time of the
crime ;ih y had determined ninety one in 1827. The Courts of
Appeal have determined seventy-one indtad art sizty•seven, in the
two months of Appeal.
The oorr,ctional jivigment. have been pronounced with great
exactness. Out of the hundred persons condemned to imprison.
meat, eighty-nine have begun to undtrgo their imprisonment within
three months frum their condemnation. 'There were only eighty-
four in 1827.
One hundred and seventeen were implicated, in 1828, In SKS cri-
