Th;s gentlc,oan, well. known as a
magistrate. and residing On his own
landed property. close TO Cacn, in
Normandy, died in the mouth oi june.
1928. He was OF eceentri, habits,
and ci the calmcst and most placid
disposition. Nothing was ever known
to rcie his equaniurity or TO disturb
the repose and tranquility of his do
,nest;c arrangements. He lived and
died unmarried, and passed his life
either reclining on couch or lying
in bed. Even when exercising his
judicial functions he maintained this
rc:uuibcnt attitude; his bedroom b.
came his audience-chambar. and he
gave Judgment ina horizontal position,
his body laziiy stretched cut, aud his
head thrown back on u down pillow.

which death should surprise hlm-vlz.,
with his mattress, sheets, blankets,

stituted the belongings of a bedstcad. .
As there was some difficulty in carry

pit was dug and the deceased was
lowered into his last resting-piace
