WOUNDING A PARENT.—The COurt of Assizes of the Charente Airco days ago tried a young man .named.. Gorin, of St. Wive, for cutting and wounding his parents. It was proved that for a long series of • years he had been in the "habit of brutally ill-treating-his mother, who unfortunately was given to drink, and acting, ill towardii Iris father also when he tried to protect his wife against tha young man's brutality. But they bore with him until 1856, when, his savage conduct having exceeded all bounds, they. complained to the pollee. The;s, were, however, afterwards reluctant to appear against him, and Le Prosecution was instituted. Emboldened by this circumstance, the young- man became worse than before, repeatedly striking his mother in the face, sometimes even with a bottle, and throwing chairs at her ;, whilst he kicked an!l. struck his father—on one occasion thrusting a lighted Me g. die into his face. At length on the 4th September, last, ' neighbours of the. Gorins heard cries of c` Murder help : and on rushing into their house they found that_thfeermaaer a if i th after beating in the most savage mannerbothhis f a'bout r9v declared the to fire.
