A murder was committed under circumstances which pointed to him as the perpetrator The Abbe was tbe last person known to have seen the un fortuuate lady alive. He was arrested, convicted, aud senteuced to iransporation for life. He was sent to New Caledonia, and placed among the other convicts there. The Abbe protested his iunoeense, but adduced nr proof, though a'l the time ha knew the actual murderer, and the devilish ingenuity with which he had managed to throw suspicion on the priest. The murderer, one lilosher, sexton of thd clusrcli, hud actually contessed to the Abbe !
