EXAMINER, 18 SEPT., 1831, P. 601

For the entry in Mill’s bibliography, see No. 116. The article, headed “London, September 18,” is listed as “Paragraphs on France” in the Somerville College set, where these two paragraphs are enclosed in square brackets (excluding the opening four paragraphs on the fall of Warsaw to the Russian army on 7 Sept., on which Mill comments in No. 120).

several partial elections have taken place in France, and have mostly gone against the Government. The most remarkable case was that of Dieppe, where the King has considerable property, and where the defeated candidate was his aide-de-camp, General Athalin.1

A bill has been brought in by the ministry for mitigating the penal code, by abolishing the punishment of death in certain cases, and mutilation, branding, and the pillory, in all cases whatever.2

[1 ]Baron Louis Marie J.B. Athalin (1784-1856), who had fought under Napoleon and become aide-de-camp to the Duke of Orleans at the Restoration, continued in that position when the Duke became King Louis Philippe.

[2 ]Introduced on 31 Aug., 1831, the bill was enacted as Bull. 78, No. 178 (28 Apr., 1832).
