Shortly after his exchange lie return
to Rhode Island, and was invited to

Recovery of a Female after Exe

cause his crime, though manifested to
the eyes of two individual witnesses,
was not so clear to the eyes of the ma
gistrates and of the laws. The people
subsequently became acquainted with
the resurrection of this girl, and loaded
with reproaches tho execrable author
of her misery ; but, in this immense ci
ty his offence was soon forgotten, and
the monster perhaps still breathes; at
least, ho lias not publicly suilered the
punishment which he deserves.
"A book should be published, con

innocent persons have been punished,

"About seventeen years since a . young
peasant girl, possessed of a very agree
able figure, was placed at Pans in the
service of a man depraved by all the
vices consequent on the corruption of
great cities. Smitten with her charms
he tried every method to seduce her:
but she was virtuous, and resisted. The
prudence of the girl only irritated the
passion of her master, who no.f! being
able to make her submit to Lis wishes,
determined on the most black and hor
rible revenge. He secretly conveyed
into her box many things "belonging to
him, marked with his name. lie then
exclaimed that he was robbed, called in
a commissairc, (a ministerial officer of
justice.) and made his deposition. The
girl s box was searched, and the things
were discovered. The unhappy ser
vant was imprisoned. She defended
herself only by her tears; she had no
evidence to prove that she did not put
the .property in her box; and tho only
answer to the interrogatories was, that
she was innocent. The judges had no
suspicion of the depravitv of the accu-
ser, wnose station was respeciauie, ana
they administered the law-m all its ri
