The Court of Assize of the Province of Limboorg,
in Oe Netherlands, has lately pronounced sentence
of death on a wretch guilty of diabolical cruelty.
He is a tanner, of the name of Lambert; and bad
conceived towards his female servant, who had lived
with him for a considerable time, a jealousy that
daily manifested itself in fits of brutal passion. The
unhappy woman, who had escapcd horn him, was
weak enough to be deceived by his promises, and to
be induced to return. When Lambert found himself
again in possession of his victim, he seized her, half-
murdered her with blows, and, by a refinement of
cruelty, ran an awl its her neck, and pricked her eye-
lids with needles. The vengeance of this ruffian did
not end litre. He granted the unfortunate girl her
life, only on condition that she would let him cut off
her thumbs. To escape assassination, she resigned
herself to this barbarous operation. Her torturer'

ance of a hatchet eel:ldeated both the thumbs from
