RY OF A MURDER.

Almost the last case Of note in
which the torture was used in France
before the Revelation, was one OF a
very extraordinary nature. 1t is
observed, by the French editor of the
collection Of cases from which the
following is taken, that the most tri-
vial circumstances may sometimes
be Of considerable Importance in the
investigation of truth, but especially
in judicial inquiries, where trifling
incident may serve to clear the cha
racter or save the life of an indivi-
dual, by explaining deubtfaI or sus.
picious appearances.--This observa-
ton he considers is fully exempli-
fed by the following case:
An English Catholic lady, named
Burton, when travelling a second
time to take the waters of Bagneres,
stepped at an inn in a small town,
wnar she had lodged the preceding
year. There was but one double
bedded room unoccupied, and Mrs.
Burton was obliged to put up with
that as The only accommodation
which could be obtained for herself
and her waiting maid. The latter,
after she had attended her mistress,
prepared to retire herself, but when
nearly undres.ed, caught a glimpse
of her figure in large inclined mir
TOT, which stood opposite the bed
When, charmed with her own aD-
D. arance, the words-"1h ! la peau

expressions of vanity, perfectly natu
raj in a French girl of her age. At
last, pleased and satisfied with her
self. she retired to rest, and being ia
tigucd with the days journey, soon
fell into a profound sleep. When
she awoke in the morning, she ap,
preached the bed of her mistress, and
drew aside the curtains, for the pur-
pose of waking her. Judge what
was her surprise and horror. on be-
holding the corpse Of her mistress
swimming in blood! She uttered
