The Cour de cassation rules on the Dujarier duel killing, Swiss Jesuit crisis deepens, and Russian forces fight Shamil's highlanders in the Caucasus.

France's highest court quashed a ruling that had shielded Rosemond de Beauvallon from prosecution for the pistol-killing of journalist Dujarier on 11 March 1845, remanding the case to the Cour royale of Rouen.
A La Rochelle innkeeper died of rabies after being bitten by a cat that had itself been bitten by a rabid dog; a rumour immediately spread that she had been poisoned, which the correspondent firmly denied.
Journeyman long-sawyer Pierre Barlot, described by witnesses as habitual ringleader of workshop cabals, was sentenced to two months' imprisonment for punching a fellow worker in the face and stomach during a wage-strike at the forts of Vanves.

A Lucerne correspondent argues canton-by-canton that Swiss Radicals cannot assemble a Diet majority to expel the Jesuits, predicting civil war if they try to override cantonal sovereignty.
A lone Murid fighter charged Lieutenant-General Prince Beboutoff with a raised poignard in the middle of his division before being cut down by a Cossack escort during Shamil's harassment of a 1,500-horse supply convoy.
Lamartine sold the rights to his forthcoming Histoire des Girondins to publisher W. Coquebert, whose edition is expected shortly.

A Belgian publisher sold counterfeits of Hetzel's Œuvres choisies de Gavarni labelled 'Paris, Aug. Ozanne, éditeur, rue Richelieu' — a fictitious Paris address invented to smuggle the piracy past customs and deceive foreign booksellers.

Medievalist Victor Le Clerc traces Dante's likely attendance at the Rue du Fouarre schools in 13th-century Paris and reconstructs the legend of Siger of Brabant's conversion after a dead disciple poured a drop of hellfire into his hand.
