MARGUERITE DIBLANC.
The woman Diblanc, who murdered Madame Biel, in Park Lane, waa found guilty of murder, but the jury recommended her to mercy, believing that she had received great provocation, though they had only her own word for this, and it was shown that she removed the body to a hiding-place, robbed the house, and escaped. But the entire set of influences which actuate the British mind are seldom set forth in words, and it would be inconvenient to set them out on tho present occasion. It is enough to say that the character of the murdered woman was palpably taken into consideration, and that the aged Lord Lucan was put into the box to testify that he paid a large sum of money to the French actress, — and his appearance as he hirpled down (says a Scotch reporter), was humiliating/ The murderess has been sentenced to penal servitude for life. The topic has been forgotten amid the newer excitements of the time.
