Reform plans in France raise universal elector debate
Reports from Paris detail M. Barrot and Laffitte committees proposing expanded jury and electoral roles.

Controversy grows as Verdun claims seek 3.5 million francs from wartime indemnities, and Don Carlos ally Baron de los Valles is jailed over frontier rule issues.

Extraordinary Abduction Attempt By Two Men In Buckingham Hamblet
In Buckingham near Stowe two chimney sweep boys were seized by two men in a cart. One boy was dragged into the cart, the other, thinking it a joke, was knocked down and forced in. Their hands were tied to rings inside the cart, and a man sat between them to threaten. After a long night they escaped, crammed and hungry, walking home to their master Woodford. They fear Beaconsfield involvement. the conduct seems baffling.
