An incident, which has had no example in the
proceedings Of the National Assemblies of France,
or, may say, of any country took place on Satur-
day last, at the Chamber. The facts are as fol-
lows;-M. Mauguin, a representative Of the people,
was arrested in the morning and imprisoned at
Chchy, on execution OF a warrant rendered against
him, by judgment of the Tribunal of Commerce.
The arrest was known with the rapidity of a thun-
der shock, among all the representatives, and, as
soon as the session began, M. de La Rochejsque-
lein assembled the tribune, and directed his ques-
tons to the minister of justice. According TO the
36lh article of the constitution of lS4S, the body OF
representative Is inviolable, unless IN CRIMINAL
ease and IN all cases an arrest cannot take
place without the authorization OF the house The
only explanation of the facts, the only reading OF
the article of the constitution, seemed to be suh-
sient to obtain the immediate release of M Maui
gum, and M. de Va'ismeuil explained it with very
energetic eloquence assisted also by M. de Labou-
Ne. The minister OF justice, Nj. Rouher, did all in
his power 10 protect the Judge who had pronounced
the sentence against the representative, M. Maui
gum, but his cause was bad, and the majority were
against him, as il was proved by the vote Accord
ngiy M. Base, who is the Questeur of the house,
went TO Chchy, and, despite the legal refusal OF
the chief of the prison. gave TO M. Mauguin Ia clef
