--continued.

THE "SANTURRI" MURDER.
Some months after I had written the question which closes the last chapter, I was fortunate enough to obtain a partial answer to it.

During the present year the Cavaliere Gennarelli, a Roman barrister, and a member of the Roman parliament in 1848, has published a series of official documents issued by the Papal authorities during the last ten years; the most damning indictment, by the way, that was ever recorded against a Government.

Amongst those documents there appears the official sentence which, as usual, was published after the execution of a certain Romulo Salvatori in 1851.

The trial possesses a peculiar momentary interest from the fact that Garibaldi is one of the persons implicated in the charge, and that the gallant general, if captured on Roman territory, would be liable to the judgment passed on him in default.
