XCVIII. L'auberge de la Cloche et de la Bouteille

XCVIII. The Inn of the Bell and Bottle

The birth of the Prince of Joinville's son, the Hyderabad crisis, and a homicide trial in the Gers dominate this issue.

On the evening of 4 November 1845, the Princess of Joinville gave birth at Saint-Cloud to a son, Pierre-Philippe-Jean-Marie d'Orléans, duc de Penthièvre, witnessed by King Louis-Philippe, Queen Marie-Amélie, and the King of the Belgians.

In Hyderabad, twenty-five Pathan soldiers owed 8,500 rupees barricaded themselves with a hostage banker; a British-backed contingent stormed them, finding the hostage cut to pieces — leaving the East India Company facing a wandering army of 12,000 to 15,000 homeless fighters.
Governor-General Hardinge departed Calcutta with 32,000 infantry, 6,000 cavalry, and fifty artillery pieces aimed north-west toward the Punjab, while the young Rani Jindan outmanoeuvred rival claimant Peshora Singh by luring him away from his fortress of Attock to Lahore.
John Henry Newman's conversion to Roman Catholicism prompted Dr. Pusey to write that it was 'the greatest event since the separation of the two Churches,' mourning that the Church of England had never known how to employ the man.
The Sultan of Morocco is secretly drilling a corps of regular troops under Egyptian instructors — themselves trained by French officers — while Abd-el-Kader's supporters at Gibraltar advise the Emir to slip south into the Sahara to deny France a pretext for occupying the Rif.

Joseph Brousté, tried at Auch for beating his mother-in-law to death — thirteen ribs broken, twenty-five fractures — explained away bloodstains on his shirt as nosebleeds and scratches on his face as the work of a plum tree.
Scene-painter Jules Petit, twenty-five, stole 1,080 francs from a hotel guest's bureau, spent four days dining at the Maison Dorée and dancing at the Château-Rouge with a nineteen-year-old companion, and was condemned to five years' imprisonment.

Farmers in the Jura found that blighted potatoes, once the rotten parts are removed, yield 8 to 9 kilograms of starch per sack, with the residue serving as useful livestock fodder at minimal cost.
