| brought against the court of cessation,
| that 1t distorted the law when IL de.
clared him to be innocent by it's own
authority, instead of sending him for
trial by a third court-martial. Various
texts have been quoted in support of
the theory advanced. among others by
Mai. Gulgnct. and advocated by the
Action Franchise, but Mai. Dreyfus
shows conclusively that the court of
cessation neither distorted the law nor
of his letter. Maj. Dreyfus writes:
'The Action Francaise must be
aware that the question as to whether
the Judgment should be quashed with
or without another trial was discussed
at length and i'll public, before the
court of cessation: The most eminent
lawyers all take the same view Of the
445th clause. They all say, 'The send
ing before another court is only re"
quired by the law when the innocence
of the condemned person is not demon
strated clearly by the discussion before
the court of cassatlon. When. on the
contrary. no portion of the charge can
be maintained there is no reason for
such step. as nothing remains TO be
tried. Moreover, If the law insisted
on the non-existcnce of n crime or of
Tense. IN the abstract sense of these
terms. there was all the same no reason
for another trial. Nothing remained OF
the charge which could he submitted to
discussion by Z court. as. on the one
hand, ] was recognized as innocent Of
any crime, and, on the other, Ester
hay was declared to be the author of
the bordcreau, but had been acquitted
by Judgment of court.martial
which could not be modified. This
double, intangible fact rendered any
new trial legally impossible, Besides,
the court Of cessation, in rehabilitating
without mr. n f,I1
ONLY adhered to. a Jurisprudence of more
than ten years date. On January 20,
1898, 1T proclaimed the innocence OF
poor man who had been condemned for
descrtion by court martial when thls
crime had been committed by another.
This decree was read out, explained,
and commented on during the discussion
at the court Of cassatiou.

which has occurred at the house Of DR..

adventure. Hardly had DR.. Berault gone
out when she heard a noise in the hall.
and, proceeding thither, came face to

big and ark-complexioned. while the
other was small. with red hair. One
of them asked for the physician, and
on being told that he was out they said
that they would leave word for him.

linen was shaken in her face. and soon
she lost consciousness. Such was the
servants narrative, and it was prompt
