charges, and the Government set to work immediately to crush 
Garnier and neutralise the effect of his assertions. 
The French authorities in Strasburg were requested to suppress 
Garnier’s pamphlet without delay; but the French Minister of 
Foreign Affairs, Duke de Broglie, i-plied that as the legal for- 
malities of publication had been complied with, and the officers 
of justice had found no reason for interference, he had no power

officials for the capture and destruction of all copies found

three times to Strasburg in order to obtain a copy without delay. 
Almost immediately after the publication a woman came over 
from Baden on three different days to secure copies, buying in

A certain political refugee in Strasburg, named Singer, was induced 
to act as a spy in behalf of the Government; ‘his chief business 
being to make Garnier contemptible in public opinion, so that 
less attention and less credence should be bestowed upon his 
writings. A short time after the publication of the pamphlet,
