Singular Discovery of O Femcle u,,

Singular DtScouery OF dFemcte I'm
justly eGecated.
The following account Of the case
Of poor girl. who was so unjuslly
executed in l756, is given by ceIe
brated French author, as an instance
of the ipiustice which was often com
mitted BY the equivalent mode of trial
in France:
"About seventeen years since, a
young peasant girl, possessed of very
agreeable figure, was placed at Paris
in the service of IA man depraved by all
the vices consequent upon the corrup-
ton of great cities. Smitten with her
charms, he tried every method to Sc
duce her; but she was viriuous and re.
sisted, The prudence of this girl only
irriiated the passionofher master, no,
not being able TO make her submit to
his desires, determined on the most
black and horrible revenge. He Sc.
c-etly conveyed into her box mapy
things belonging to hia, marked wit h
his natne--hc then exclaimed that he
was robbed, called in commissaire,
u ministerial officer of Justice, and
made his deposition. The girls box
was searched, and The things were dis
covered. The unhappy servant was
imprisoned. She defended herself only
by her tears; she had no evidence ia
prove that she did not put the proper
ty in her box; and her only answer
to the interrogstoFies was, that she was
innocent. The judges had no suspi-
cion of the depravity of the accuser,
and they administered the law in all its
Irigor; a rigor' undoubtedly excessive,
which ought 10 disappear from our
code. TO give way TO simple but Ger
tain penalty, which would Leave fewer
crimes hnpunished. The innocent girl
was condemned to be hanged. The
dreadful Office was Intellectually per-
formed, as it was the first attempt oil
the son of the great exccutioner. A
surgeon had purchased The body for
dissection, and il was conveyed to the
house. On that evening, being about
TO open the head, he perceived a geh-
tie warmth aho,!t the body. The dis,
secting knife fell from bis hand, and
he placed in bis bed her W hom he was
about to dissect. His efforts terestore
her life were efsectuai; and at The sa,ne
time he sent for apriest, on whose dis
cretion and experience tie could de
pend, in order to consult with hisn or
this strange event, as well as to have
him for witness to his conduct The
moment The unfortunate giIl opened
her eyes, she believed herself in the
other world, and perceiving the figure.
