The Court then sentineed Jettier to taste years'
banishment. The Prisoner perhaps expected alto:
gether a different punishment : for he heard Mande:
tence with much tranquillity.
The two Prisoners, who appeared in the second
case, were Jean Idris Pepin, a coal-maw, and Jowl
Felix Lagarda, a locksmith. The latter when asked
his residence, replied, that be lived in the Faubourg
, Antoine. The seditious provocation Imputed to the
Prisoners commenced by acts of violence on a young
man, who was singing Dire Henri 1-r. ! on the even.

garde declared that he had been provoked by the
young man wbo sheeted R.. le Roil in his face,
with affectation, and as if to insinuate something
against him. When the Priloneni hod been arreatild,
the Commissary of the l'olice, askiitg who was fhw

6" Never," said Pepin in the coarse of the trial,
64 never was I for Napoleon, on the Contrary, I

Only two witnesses were eatmined in this case.
M. Acme, Substitute for the Attornes•_Gwseril,
then spoke :—" The crime imputed to Pepin and
Lagarde acquires importance from the cireumstanc*s
in which it was committed. The provocation took
place in the Faubourg, where we know the amateurs
of •violence and revolution have always found sop-
porters. In the mesa time it must be acknowledged,
that in it the partizans of tyranny vainly sought as-
sistants—the Faubourg has expiated the crimes of
some bad subjects, by a burst of sincere joy es the
eve and morrow of the King's festival."
The Jury declared, by a majority of teams aim
to five, ',garde and Pepin guilty of seditious in•

meet; guilty of the acts of violence, but net guilty
of provocation, tending to the dedroetion of one of
the fauxbourga of Paris.

Conformably to tit law, the Court deal/tulip&
on this declaration, and unanimously agreed to the
opinion of the Minority of the jury 1! Coale.
qnently tho Prisoners were convicted of only a simple
misdemeanour, and sentenced to one yeses hoprises-
