A snrAid Trnwniay.

Milan. Jan. s.-Ths trial of a young Bologna magistrate. Paternoster, whose attempted assassination of SignOr Lap- agiia. the husband of Countess Giney- ra Bentivoglio. whose lover he was, and which was described several months ago, has just ended here. A Milan jury limited it's condemnation to the period of Imprisonment which Paternoster has already undergone. as Signor Lapagiia has since recovered.
 The trial shed an altogether new and sordld light upon an affair which has stirred the Romagna province more deeply than any local scandal In high life since the Bonmartini murder. It appears that Signor Lapagfia abducted and that after their marriage he forced her to accept a post as barmaid at a fashionable restaurant in order that he might live on her earnings Subse- quently a bargain was struck with the Bologna Judge Errante, who made way for his colleague, Paternoster, when he found himself too heavily and hope lessly in debt to e longer able to satis- fy the countess's expensive tastes.
 The principals involved in this drama all moved in the highest society, and indeed titled ladies of the Bolognese aristocracy allowed meetings to take place at their houses The Judge Err rante excused himself from attending the trial on the ground of urgent crim- inal cases he had to try. The jury con- sidered that under the influence of his passion for the countess, Paternoster was not responsible for his actions.
