Thera woro presont six members, two of whom had not nppoared at tho former sitting. 'This timo I'Estailec was produced for oxamiuation, and with her sovoral dumb, but rather dangor- ous witnessos, consisting of ono or two driod herbn, o ploco of mons, and a lock of hair, which had Leon found in hor box. 8he, teo, was re- uired to give an sccount of her Tormer life in 2\10 firet {nstaneo. Tho moss, sho stated, had boon given hor an a souvenir by a formor pacamonr, sn Engllsh Squire, who had gatheredt it with his own hands by the briuk of & wall where, ncconflnf to tra- dition, & virgin bad been behecaded. It wos su‘:- posed to contaln cortain mystic virtues, and in roturn_therefor phio hind given tho Squiro o lock of hier halr, for whioh scarcoly as much conld bo said, One would havo thought that such a tokon was haedly of the kind to pass botwoon peoplo liko thoso 3 but suoh woro the good old times, Concorming ‘Huingellm, I'Estallec was suf- fiefontly diffuse, Bho declnred without tho smalicat reservo, or regard for womanly or legal decorum, and to tho very beards of those most otont, grave, and roverend signiors,” that sho fad lavad, Kl loved, and would continuo to Jove bim botter than any man in tho world, and, as sho added with vehemont Fuuion. «hotter than any man that ever could be born into the world." The tuft of hair was his, Onceonatimo whon ho was leaving hor, ns sho thought, far too £oon, shie tried Lo urreat him in n playTul woy. 8ho selzed bis hood by ono of the corners ; Lo pulled against hor, and thus the thing was torn off, and with it theso bafrs. 1o esenped for tho time 3 but she wrapped up tho bnirs in the frag- ment of red eloth, and put the puelet away nwmong tho thlnf;u which gho valued most. Buo denied that she had over gathered any horba for mugieal purposes, or that sio bad ovor uttored o threat concorning Iatnscllin, Sho ad mitted that his marrlage bad grioved kor oxcecd- ingly—more, far moro, than suything that nad over befora befallen lor. And 8l admitted hav- ing anfd that o would havo renson to rue the duy—nol a8 a threat, but beeanso sho know Tull woll that novor, never moro would ho find any woman {n this world to sacritico horself for him as sho had done.

The Court was by thls timo increased to cloven,—tho five fresh membors {nohnbly hoy- ing beon all attracted to -tho Ohatelet by tho unusual interest which the trial bogan to assumo. A good deal of discussion among tlo Judges fol- lowed thio departufo of Marion. 1ts vory length shows that it was not ailogether unfayorablo to Lor. In the end it was deoided that slhe, too, shouid bo put to tho torture, bub uob uutil Margot had been subjecled therolo n sccond timo, 'The crono therefors was summoned, and strotched on the rack. Bub tho storn persua~ siona of the small bed and the great oue lind not. tho emallost effoct on hor obstinacy. So ouded the doings of the day. Thera_was no court on Tucedsy; but on ‘Wedneaday, tho 8d of Augnst, its members ag- sombled to the number of soven,and Marion was led before it." ‘I'he procecdings’ opened with a little *scone.”. When the priucipal torturer, Qudin de Rochefort, soized tho womon to pre- pare hor for the iron coucht, sho burst from his graap, and treated tho worshipful Maglstratos to not & littlo of Ler mind, BSho warned them, with suitablo gestures and interjections, to *mind what they were about in dealing thue with o woman of good fame," She dealared, with doep earncstuess, that sho was entirely ignorant of the charges brought agaiust bor. Aud sho closed oy neat an oration ne was over delivered undor such citoumatances with an appeal to the Cuurt of Parligmont. Such an appeal, evon from guch lips, was not to be disvegarded, ~The worlk of torturo way suspended, and notico of the appenl waa trans- wmutted to the body concornod, which, as iv hap- poned, was eftting at that momout, The messago Toceived prompt attontion, and tho nicssongors— the honorable aund learned Master Piorre Les- .clot, and the merely learnod Mastor Guillaume Dorel, both members of tho Court of Varha- ment, a8 woll as the Gourt of the Chatolot—wers uent bacl ou tho instang, with full powers to do- cide s ta the valldity of the appeal. So quickly was all this done, that the exumination wus re- sumed and carried throngh tho remainder of the stago that samo day. Clearly old-Fronch lnw hnd not -yt put on thoso tedious forma of which Hamiot complaine so bitterly. Ier appenl bmuE disallowed, Marion was placed on the rack—but wo furthor confession could_be drawn from ber, Sho was thon re- moved, sud_Margot was brought up from the Grieche, und tortured for the third time, The old tavurn-keoper, however, proved no more yielding than herotofore, tho Court ad- juurnnfi. « I'ho poxt duy 1'Estalleo was ordered to bo questioned by water, This torturo was much tho samo in 1390 o when it wag witnessed by Evelyn, in the ssmo place,-in 1651. Hefb,nc- cording to tho diarist of 8ay's Court, the wrists of tho malefactor were - bound with a strong rope, or small cablo, to an fron ring in tho wall, about 4 feet from the floor. Then Lins foot were festened with another cable **about 5 toot far- ther than his utmoat lenglh, to another ring on the floor of tho room. ‘fhus suspended, yet Iying but aslant, they sild au horse of wood un« dor tho rope that bound bis feet, whioh so ox- coodingly stifoned it as sorved the fullow's fuinld in migorablo sort, drawing him out at ength in un estraordinary —maunor, ho having only & pair of linem drawors on lis mnaked body. Then they quos- tioned, whioh not confessing, thoy put a highor harso undor the rope, to inorense tho torture aud oxtensiou, Inthis agony, confessing nothing, tha executionar with a Lorn—juat such as thay drench horaes with—stuck the end of it into his mouth, and poured tho quuntity of two buckets of water down his throst and “over him, which 0 prodigionsly swolled him, a8 would bavo pitiod |u|{¥afl'rlghtnd snyonotosee, . . ., Itrepra- sented to mo the intolerable sufferings which our Dlossed Snvior must neods undergo when 1hs body was hnn{;\ng with nll its weight upon tho Cross.” The torturo hus faithfully describ- cd was ko terriblo that fow ever endured it bo- yand the firststage, snd so it happoned In this jn- atauce. Boforo o singlo drop of water could Ue poured wpon her, Murion was ¥ane quished by bor snfforlngs, aud entreated to Do released, promislug to all, Her desiro wad complled with, hen,” wiites tho grefiier, Wwith nauseous - aifocta- tion of mildnoes, ‘' without tho slightest cone atralnt of tha gehonne,"—~tha appropriste name by which_judiclal torturo was known,—* sho confessed all that sho hnd ever praoiiced of philtre or witcheratt.” 2 our months, or thereahouts, baforo, she and Marion In Daymo, & Floming, and a davghtor of #in Jiko horscll, * belug together drinking and discoursiug of thelr lovurs," she, 1'Estalloo, hold forth T praiso of Hainsalliu y the donrost, tonderost, moat lovabla syveothieart in tho world, La Dayme_was oq\mllfl warm in culogizing one Jehon do Sovoy, Who hold the honorablo post of tailor to tho Duchess ‘of Tournine, As thus they convorucd, the Floming communicatod o secrob whoraby o lover might bo mada niore lov- ing, Tha grofierhus given it at full leagth, and 1ike othoraich secrots it is perfoctly vilo and disgusting, But IEstalleo was a daughtor of sin, and besides infatuated to insanity with 1tnlusellin. Bho theroforo put It mwmediately {n practico, though with ntinost fairnsss, since sho appliad Jt to berself slso, Thus sho gavo good proof of tho oxcors of passlon that poesessed ber—by desiring to rendor it still moro excesy- ive. The uttor wortblossness of the atuff was soon apparont. In aday or two it camo to hor kuowledge ihnb Ilninnollin was aflianced to nuothor; aud worso still, that tho wodding-day wag gt hand, Then she hastoued to In Barro— tho prime confidanto of this, tho amour of hor lifo=in & sinto of frenzy.

Bbo, whoso life was one round of mortal sin, aotually shraok from imperiling her procious soul by following the instructions of the ogross. Thut the soruple was real wo do mot doubt ; over nud over again have wo witnessed tho liko. But whon Margot auswored her that tho gatlands were, and would remnin, porfectly harmless to overy one but the bride- groom and tho bride, her scruples evaporatod, and sha congontod to go through with the sor- cery. Goncealing tho things beneath her dress, Ba- rion Lastoued to the festive scene. There sho found tho compauy footing it with wviobeinn vigor. And there, thauks to tho easy manuais of the period, sho found no difliculty in join- ing the dance, having o partner whom the groflier has not forgotten to describe with ox- cruciating preoision ns One-Eyed Thomas, o fa- miliar servant of the Duke of Touraine.
