in Paris, and a course of Jectures on juris-

prudence, with the view of preparing myself to enter the office of an advocate, a French: |

man, who had married my mother’s sister.

There were several English lads there beside |

myself, and very hard we worked, though a good many of us had nobody to compel us to do so if we had felt disposed to shirk. |The letters I received from my unele seldom }contained anything beside exhortations to | work hard; and in the holidays, instead of | inviting me to spend them with him and my aunt, he always encouraged the idea of my going to Kogland, so that L was very much astovished when [ one day received a letter 'from him quite unexpectedly, requesting me to start with the least possible delay for the ‘department of Ain. The letter merely told

|me there was nothing the matter with any |

‘of the family, and that he wanted me on ac- | court of a case in which he was concerned. | ‘This case was the prosecution of a French- ‘man named Boiteler, a man of considerable

standing in this province, who was in eustody |

on a charge of murdering bis wife and map- servant, The lady was an Konglishwoman of good family, to whom he had been mar- ried about four years, and who was commonly termed in the department L'ange du bois, on account of her extreme beauty, and the fact of her husband's house being surrounded by a small but very dense wood, which he allowed nobody to meddle with, so that it was completely choked with brambles. She was his second wife, bis first having died

and my uncle told me that be was rather

| nclined to believe him innocent, but he thought the jury would find him guilty, with | extenuating circumstances, My aunt, who had known Boiteler well from her intimacy with his wife, had a yery decided opinion of his guilt.

The reason my uncle had sent for me was, jthat I might be there to act as an interpre- ter at the trial, ifone was required, and that L might wake inquiries among the English

servants, whose knowledge of the French |

language was too imperfect to allow them to detail many little vireumstanees perhaps cal- culated to throw light oa the affair. It wanted but five days to the trial when I ar- rived, and it was not till the next morning that my uncle took me to the office of the | Commissaire of Police, to request that one of his agents might be sent with me to Boite- ler’s house. We found here the carriage in which the murder had been committed, which had been brought down for the jury to inspect. We were told that the prosecu- tion relied on the effeet which the examin- ,ation of this vehicle would produce to pro- cure a conviction. To show us the import- ance of the evidence which his acuteness had obtained, the Commissaire sent for a woman, and directed her to seat herself in the ecar-

riage in the position occupied by Madame |

Boiteler. He then seated himself beside her, and one of his agents stood beside the carriage, and pointed the pistol at the wo- man, and it certainly appeared to be im- possible that the bal} could have struck the deceased on the wounded spot ; the inference he drew, that Boiteler had fired the pistol

/had undertaken to assist in obtaining evi- dence to throw light upon what was felt to be an exceedingly intricate case, and one which it would be almost impossible for the jury to decide upon in a satisfactory manner, un less additional evidence could be got in favour of or against the prisoner.

The evidence on which Boiteler was com- mitted to prison was not incousistent with the statement made by him on his apprehen- sion ; and if the affair had taken place in any other country than France, where it is very much the custom of officials intrusted with the care of the public safety to assume every man involved in a criminal offence to be guilty until he is proved innoceut, I doubt whether he would have been retained in custody. He had left his house on the day of the marder io a small open carriage, accompanied by his wile, and attended by a man who had been in his service for several! years, for the purpose of going to Bourg, to see an agent concerning the sale of an estate only separated from his own by ariver. The

matter had been so far arranged that it only | remained for him to pay a certain portion of |

the purchase-money, and he was then to ‘enter into possession. This sum—I forget how much it was, but it was a large one— was in the carriage, a fact with which all his servants were familiar, including, of course, the coachman also. Shortly after mid-day, Boiteler drove up to the barrier at Bourg, with the dead body of his wife in the ecar- riage, and told the officer on duty there that his wife had been murdered by his servant, and that he had shot his servant, who was lying in a lane which be named, and whence he was shortly afterwards brought into the town by some labourers, under the direction | of one of the foresters employed by the com- /mune. Boiteler was immediately taken into }eustody a8 a precautionary measure; and

the following is the substance of the state-|

|ment made by him in explanation of the affair,

| Hisservant had snddenly stopped the | horse in the lane, got down, and came to the | side of the carriage with a pistol in his hand, which he fired, but the ball missed him, at whom it was aimed, and entered his wife’s side. The pistol wasa large one with a brass butt, and hie servant had then attempt-

}

jed to strike him with it on the head, but he |

‘caught him by the wrist with his left hand,

in saying that their master and mistress | who had papers to consult, or who wished |

lived on very good terms, and thac anything like a dispute amovg them was Very rare. The day of the trial every place in court had been secured by private arrangement beforehand, the audience consisting chietly \of ladies. The prisoner entered the court with a polite and comprehensive bow.

Without bravado, and without any manifes- |

tation of anxiety as to the result, he took his place in the dock ; his bearing, in fact. was remarkably good and prepossessing, and seemed to impress the jury in his favour. There was a general shudder when one of the officials of the court proceeded to spread out the different articles of dress which had been stripped from the bodies of the dead : ‘and T noticed that the prisoner turned ghast- ly pale wheu his wife's dress was laid out, with the blood-stain osteatatiously displayed. The case for the prosecution and the defence was, down to a certain point, substantially what [ have already stated; the position of the wound in madame’s body being explain- ed by the prisoner saying, that the instant | he saw the pistol pointed towards his body ‘he instinctively threw himeclf back in the |carriuge, and that bis wife must at the same |moment have thrown herself forward, be- cause, after he had disubled her murderer, ‘he found her lying with her head against the forepart of the carriage ; whereas, had she been sitting upright, she must have fallen | backward,

| The excitement of the audience had been raised to the highest point when the jury ‘retired to consider their verdict. Instead ‘of the low ham of conversation ensuing, 'which I have so often heard since in French ,courts on similar occasions, the most pro- ‘found silence was kept. Indeed, nearly ‘everybody must have been exhausted by the emotions produced in the course of the trial.

|The mardeved Jady had been personally | known to all present; so that when one of ‘the maid-servants related some touching | little circumstances, showing the sweetuess and amiability of ker character, the proceed- | ings of the court were for some minutes | brought tO a stop in consequence of the

| violent sobbing of the women.

THE FAITHFUL WIFE. |

| In 1793, M. de Talleyrand was in Boston. One day, whilst crossing the market-place, | }he was compelled to stop by a loug row of | | wegone, all loaded with, vegetables. “Phe

{ |

could not but look with a kiad of pleasure’ ,at these wagons, and the little wagoners, | ‘who, by-the-by, were young und pretty coun- | ‘try-women Suddenly the vehicles came to a stand, and the eyes of M. de Talleyrand chanced to rest upon one of the young wo- ‘men who appeared more lovely and graceful ‘than the others. An exclamation escaped from his lips. It attracted the attention of | the fair one, whose country dress and large ‘hat bespoke daily visits to the market: as) 'she recognized him immediately, she burst out laughing.

‘ What ! is it you?’ exclaimed she. | *Yes, indeed, itis 1. But you, what are | you doing here ?” | «T,’ said the young woman ; ‘I am wait- ‘ing for my turn to pass on. 1 am going to sell my greens and vegetables at the market.’ At that moment the wagons began te move along, she of the straw hat applied the whip ito her horse, told M. de Talleyrand the ‘name of the village where she was living, ‘requesting him earnestly to come and see ‘her, disappeared, and left him as if riveted jon the spot by this strange apparition. | Who was this young market-woman? Ma- dame ta Comtesse de la Tour-du-Pin, (Ma- demoiselle de Dillon.) the most elegent among the ladies of the court of Louis the Sixteenth, King of France, and whose mo- ral and intellectual worth had shone with so \dazzling a lustre in the society of her nu-' merous friends and admirers. At the time when the French nobility emigrated, she was young, lively, endowed with the most,

wily courtier, yenerally so dead to emotion, 1 em going to bake for to-morrow ; theoven

‘ Dearest,’ continued she, ‘if you knew how easy itis. We in a moment paderstand what would cost a country woman sometimes one or two years. Now we shall be bappy —you will no longer be afraid of .cxri tor

looking with a bewitching smile at im. ‘Come, come, you promised ps a salad, and

ishot. ‘To-day the bread of the town will do—but oh !—henceforward leave it to me.’

From that moment, Madame de la Tour- du Pin kept her word ; she insisted on going herself to Boston to sell ber vegetables and cream-cheeses, It was on such an errand to town that M. de Talleyrand met her. ‘he day after he went to pay her a visit, and found her in the poultry-yard, surround- ed by a host of fowls, hungry chicks and pigeons.

She was all that she had promised to be. | rotted wood

Besides, ber health had been so much be-

nefitted that she seemed less fatigued by the |!

‘housework than if she attended the balls of the winter. Her beauty which had been remarkable in the gorgeous palace of Ver- sailles, was dazzling im her cottage in the New World. M. de Tulleyrand said so to her.

‘Indeed !’ replied she with naivete, * in- deed do you think sot [ am delighted to hearit. A woman is always and everywhere proud of her present attractions,’

At that moment the black servant bolted into the drawing-room, holding im his hand his jacket with a long rent in the back. * Misses, him jacket torn ; please mond him.’ She immediately took a uesdie, repaired Gullah’s jacket, and continued the conver- gation with a charming simplicity.
