murderer; but Thought appeared to them,
the culprit lying in the condemned chapel

murderer; but though it appeared to them,
the culprit lying in the condemned chapel
and awaiting his doom in the morning,
they never for moment entertained a
suspicion Of its being really SO. Valletta
was very populous, and contained many
strangers; the murderer was therefore, in
the opinion of all, an unknown person,
bearing striking and remarkable resem-
blanco to the prisoner, perhaps the very
individual who had been guilty Of the prior
crime. The wonderful and strange tale
soon reached the ears of the Judge that
impartial magistrate at once perceived the
strong probability that the identity Of the
prisoner under condemnation had been
mistaken; :; his resolution in asserting his
innocence, which had always appeared ex-
traordinary, warranted this opinion. To
satisfy, however, himself and the public,
he Immediately sent to the prison to ascer-
tain if the criminal was really still in custo-
dy; being soon convinced upon this head,
he took upon himself to suspend the exc
cution, which was to have taken place
soon after daybreak, until these extraordi-
nary circumstances should be satisfactorily
investigated. In the morning, having the
deposition Of the persons present at the
murder, he proceeded to the palace of the
grand master, to whom he submitted the
whole case, now putting every thing in
the most favorable light possible for the
prisoner. A fact superla lively atrocious
rs the real one, was not likely to be sus-
pected, the grand naster naturally 10th in
a case Of so much doubt to take away the
life Of fellow creature, at the instigation
of the Judge, first respitcd, and in few
days afterwards granted a pardon to the
young man, who was set at liberty. He
soon after left the island, and it was not
until many years afterwards, when the
grand master, the judge, and the goalcr,
and the servant, had all ceased to exist,
that the strange story transpired, the muir
dercr, then an old man and in foreign
country, himself disclosing it.

THE CORRUPT JUDGE.

Towards the middle of the last century
a daring murder was committed in coffee
house in Valletta, Sicily, by young man,
the SOP of people in respectable circumstan-
ces, who having words with another, on q
very slight provocation, drew out a knife
and stabbed him mortally; he then made
his escape, but was captured next day by
the officers of the police. Notwithstanding
the testimony Of several witnesses to the
fact, and other convincing circumstantial
evidence against him, the prisoner rersis-
ted (indeed his only feasible defence) in
denying his having been the person who
had inflicted the wound he oven under
went the torture of the cavalletto, without
coming to confession. Notwithstanding
this pertinacity, the presiding judge, salts
fed by the evidence brought forward, con-
demned him to death. Petitions and sup
plications were made to no purpose to the
Judge for his intercession with the grand
master, and to that prince himself for par
don. The time allotted being expired, the
criminal, as is the custom in Malta, was
removed three days previous to execution
into the condemned chapel, where, with a
spiritual adviser, people in that unhappy
situotion pass the few sad minutes remain
ing to them, in the Offices Of preparing
themselves, by compunction and prayer,
for that pardon in the next world, from
which human policy excludes them in this.
Two of these trying days had passed,
when the father of the criminal, persua-
ding himself that even yet pardon might
be obtained for his son, could he but sue
ceed in engaging the influence Of the judge
who had condemned him, in his favor, ION
the evening preceding the day on which
the sentence was to be carried into execu-
ton, presented himself, just as it darkened,
at the door Of that functionary. Admit
tance was at first refused; but douceur
to the servant soon opened both the door
and the car of the judge to the supplicant.
An abrupt negative had been already CIV
en-, in terms the most unequivocal, when
the distressed parent, taking from under
his cloak bag containing one thousand
Maltese crowns large sum for the time
and place---put it on the table, giving the
Judge to understand that double that
amount would be forthcoming in the event
Of q pardon being granted to his unhappy
son. The judge remained for several min.
utcs silent and absorbed in thought; at
length he told the father in low voice,
but plain terms, th9t late as it now was,
and difficult from that and other circum-
stances, he would still, though the result
was far from certain, do his best to avert
the cruel doom impending over the young
man. = After little further consideration
he dismissed him with an order Of admis.
sion to the prison, where, under pretext ol
taking last leave Of his child, he was to
J devise some plan of getting the priest ou,
