The Defence.

This will be the argument OF q justifabe homicide
under extreme provocation The argument will run
q good deal in tho following stran:-
It has been said OF M. Victor Noir that he was
only twenty years or age; he was twenty-five 1t
has been said that he was mere boy; he was man
OF Hercuiean strength. That he was good-natured
y true enough; but he was known to be or violent
temper His exceptional force was certainly the best
5itie he had to literary renOwn; and that same mus
Ouar vtgor was probably the very quality that pro-
cured for poor Victor the taIa honor OF accompany
Ing ID. Uric de Fonvielle. Poor fellow he had
GOOD heart, but 1t was ever IN his hand; ana that
hand had sometimes the mishap TO fall on head or
o cheek But, II II struck readily, there was no
malice. After having turned ms back Victor Noir
would think no more about the matter; he had not
