Crime in Paris

Private vengeance is now the order of the day, says a correspondent on January Brd, and indeed, what elae ia. to be expected, where the lawgivers •Mjprove it? The latest instance occurred last night. The "Cri dv People," the Socialist print, edited by M. Yalles, recently published an article, in which it spoke in a bantering^manner of M. Camesca&se having instructed one his police agents to 1uA Iris mother, and bring him her ifll." Ihe joke reflects more discredit on the newspaper than on the brothers fiaUerich, the sons — the one a policecommissary, and the other a police inspector— of the unfortunate woman ' who was so cruelty murdered at VaugiranL However these guardians the peace did not take this view, and in a state of great excitement they proceeded' last night to the offices of the "Cn dv penple," burst open the doors, and fired on the two writers who were still on the premises -- without inquiry as to their culpability. One of these writers had (but this "I wa» only natural in a country govern_ed Jby^lynch-law) a loaded revolver in .'Vhiii pocket; and the upuhot of the rtrufgle was that one of the brothers Baileridi was was seriously wounded, >:. having received three balls from the penon at whom he had discharged his *~ own revolver. Two of the balls have v been extracted, but he is still too weak to bear the extraction of the third.
