 CORRECT TRANSCRIPT OF THE sRNTRNoR OF DEATH PRONOUNCED AGAINST JESUS CHRIST. The following is copy of the most me morablc judicial sentence which has ever been pronounced in the annals of the world that of death against the. Saviour, with remarks which Le Droit has collected, and the knowledge of which must be interestir 6 in the highest degree to every Christian. Until now I am not aware that it has ever been made public in the German papers. The sentence is word for word as follows :
 Sentence pronounced by Pontius Pilate, intendant of the province of Lower Gal lilee, that Jesus of Nazareth shall suffer death by the cross.
 In the seventeenth year of the emperor Tiberius. and on the 25th day of the month of March, in the most holy city of Jerusa- lem during the pontifcateicf Annanias and Caiphss. .s,, Pontius Pilate, intendant of the province of Lower Gallilee, sitting in judgment in the presidential seat of the pr9tor, senten ces Jesus of Nazareth to death on 8 cross, between two robbers, as numerous and mo- torious testimonies of the people prove l. Jesus is misleader. q. 2. He has excited the people to sedition. 8. He is an enemy to laws. -
 4. He calls himself the son of God. 5. He calls himself falsely the King of Israel. 6. He went into the temple, followed by a multitude of people carrying palms in 1 their hands.
 Orders the first centurion Quirilius Cor nelius to bring him to the place of execu. | ton. @ | Forbids all persons, rich or poor, to pre- vent the execution of Jesus. s.....

 The sentence IS engraved on plate of brass in the Hebrew language, and on its sides are the following words: "A similar plate has been sent to each tribe.' It was discovered in the year 1920 in the city of Aquila in the kingdom of Naples, by a search for the discovery of Roman antiqui- ties, and remained there until it was found by the Commissaries of Art in the French army of Italy. Up to the time of the cam paign in Southern Italy it was preserved in the sacristy of the Carthusans,- near Ma pies, where it was kept in box of ebony. Since then the relic has been kept h the chapel of Caserta. The CarthusiaLs o6- tained by their petitions that the plate might be kept by them, which was an acknowl- edgement of the sacrifices which they made for the French army. The French transla. ton was made literally by members of the Commission of Arts. Demon had fac simie of the plate engraved, which fac simlle was bought by Lord Howard, on the sale of his cabinet, for 2s00 francs. There seems to be no historical doubt s to the authenticity of this. The reasons of the sentence correspond exactly with those oi the Gospel.
