The BONES OF PAGANINI..-It may be
recollected that the celebrated violinist,
Paganini, died at Nice about fourteen
years ago; that the Bishop refused to
allow him to be inferred in the conse-
Grated ground, on account of his having
died without receiving the sacraments.
His executors had the body removed to a
private place, and commenced legal pro-
ceedings. The Court of Nice having de.
cided against them, they appealed to the
Archepiscopal Court Of Genoa, which re-
versed the Judgment of the lower court,
and ordered the remains of Paganini to
be inferred in the cemetery. The Epis-
copal Court of Nice appealed against the
decision to the Court of Turin, which
has since confirmed it. Now, as three
appeals are allowed in ecclesiastical mat.
ters, the Church of Nice has appealed in
the last resort to tribunal of judges to
be appointed by the Holy See; and there
the matter rests for the present.
