but such is The mystery thai here enye,ops all
proceedings connected with politics. that u IS not

In the meanwhile an advocate IS provided for
him. which IN these political cases Is nothing more
nor less than a cruel mockeIy since although ne Is

charge aganstthe prisoner he Is furnished withnone
of the particulars, and Is moreover sworn not 70

that the prisoner learns the nature OF his accusation
He not even allowed TO see the witnesses who de-
pose against him, and those VINO come forward lnhiS
favor are heard or not. the Judge may think prop
err Everything is carried on with closed doors, and
the sentence except be that OF DEATH Is never made
public TIL II is put into execution.
An exception. however, occurred IN the case OF the
poor wretch who was sentenced to twenty years oil
the galeys for having eXtinguished the diftnsue.-
The journal of the Priests, with It's accustomed re-
gard to truth, stated in Us number OF the ISL Scptem
Der, that this punishment was awarded IN conse-
Quonce of the accused having attempted the life OF
the party whereas the accusation does not even al
lude 10 violence but simply to the act Of eXtlnguSh
ida the match I'm the hand Of his friend who was
about to light a cigar. The Austrian military trlbu
nal fer similar OfenSe, accompanied with personal
violence awarded 10 the offender only forty days I'M
pusOnment.
Equally atrociouS IS the condemnation Of the mas
ter OF Tie cafe 10 five years of the gaeys for depOs
ing that, IN his opinion, the whole affair was only
lOhe between the two young men. You may imagine
from this how little announcement there Is 10 come
forward to give evidence IN favor OF the accused
young man, only Is years OF age, OF the name OF
Apoloni. accused of having assisted m ,,,,,,u

were above all suspicion. The other Judges imme-

On the register Of the prison OF Monte Cltero
alone are inscribed the names OF 3,i5 prisoners who
have been sent there since the Isl of January last
In the Roman prisons are many unfortunaes who
have iangulShed in them several years without hav
Ing been brought 20 trial and some even without
having undergone a single EXAMINATION, As is the case

But ore condemnation, which has only been

most painful sensations throughout the city, IS that

public, whom we have repeatedly had occasion 10
