The session wound up with a scene on
account OF the extraordinary conduct Of
Col. Jousust. president Of the court. Who
permitted himself 10 make an unwarranta-

Junck and Gen. Come had defended the
latter. when Col. Picauar; asked TO be a.

shouted

An oussurst Of booing and kissing came
from the audience q, such q display Of dsn-
fairness. The judges and rendarmes quick
iy suppressed the no.se, but Jouaust un.
derstood the well meri,ed rebuke admin
ssssrsd 10 him. turned red and adjourned
the court ten minutes later.
