A woman 10 trance was recently
buried alive in Naples. From The
evidence brought before the appeal
court it appears that she was inferred
with all the usual formalities. Some
DAYS afterwards, the grave in which
she had been placed being opened for
the reception of another body, it was
found that the clothes which covered
the unfortunate woman were torn to
pieces, and that she had even broken
her limbs in attempting to exirica'e
herself FROM the tomb. The court
sentenced the doctor who had signed
the certificate Of decease, and the
mayor who had authorized the inter
ment. each to there months impris-
opmcnt for involuntary manslaushtcr.
