THAI. A at u r<)r Oase Appraeonio*; lh lilrehall Oae lu f'bilc Intrrrn. A Montreal despatch nays : Quebec 1* now going to have it* tnrn at a seuaational murder trial, which, if not a* thrilling a* the Birohall trial, will probably be a vary interesting one. The trial of Remi La monlkgoe, accused of marderiug hi* brother-in-law. Napoleon Michael, wa* commenced at Bhsrbrooke to-day before Judge Wur trie. Briefly, thi* il the story of the crime : One evening in July, ivts, Hemi Lamontagne knocked on tke door of hii brother- in law'* house. The hour being Ute, Michael and hi* wife bad gone to bed, but the former arose and let Komi into the honae. He had with him a bottle of wbiakey, and treated Michael and hi* wile. After a time he rose to leava and went oatside in the derkiie**. A* be hesi- tated about Uaving, Miobael went oat to direct him the road. Tnerepon K> ini, it i* alleged, threw himself npon Michael and shot him behind the ear. Michael made for the boose, bat not before two more shots were, it is claimed, tared at him by the prisoner. Reaching his bouse Miobael fainted, falling on the floor. On coming to his teniei bs found himself covered with a rt.,- wbich bad bean set on tire. Though weak, and covered with blood, be managed to crawl out of the open window and reach the house of one Boucher. A warrant of arrest for Hemi Lamontagne and Leda Michel wa* taken oat, bat the former had fled. The latter, however, was arrested and tried in October of the same year a* an accomplice Though the evidence waa very strong, ihe wa* < j'nited through Ihe effort* of her coon- el. The same evening of the day on which aba wa* acquitted she went lo Wolfestown and tben to the United Blates. Daring all this time K mi, her brother, wa* hiding in the woods round Wotfeatowo, defying all effort* for hi* capture. Finally, a reward of 11,000 wa* offered for hi* apprehension by the Government, and immediately Hemi and a friend came in and surrendered. His tritl WM fixed for the following March, bat as Leda wai an important witness the trial ws* postponed from term to term until Leda wa* arrested and brought buck from Boston. Ibe extradition of Leda, it i* reported, cost Ihe Quebec Government over 16,000. Leda Michel waa arraigned to day on an indiolmtnt charging her with araon, and pit aded not guilty . The prisoner i* a plump, rosy faced, fair oomplexiooed man, with a large fair moustache, and ha* a pleaiant, agreeable address. His diess was faultless, snd his sppearanoe generally ii not what one would conceive to be tbat of a murderer. However, the preliminary investigation brought out atroog preenmp- tions of bit gailt and make* bis position extremely precarious. A Montreal despatch says : At already published Remi Lamoutagne is on trial at Hherbrcoke for the murder of Napoleon Nithel, the baiband of his sister. After the preliminary medical and other evi- dence, Leda, bia sister, who was (xtrsdittd from ihe Toiled Htaim after great delay, was called, bat she ref ased to lake the oath, lying, in an excited manner, though de- cidedly, " 1 nfaaa to testify, because 1 have not been extradited to this country to testify, but npon the charge of arson." Bhe handed lo the court two affidavits that she had not set n ths papers by which she was extradited. The defence urged that Leda wa* not ofH -tally aware of her extra- dition process of law, bat, the court ruling against the defence on this point, (be counsel railed another more serious one, tbat the Extradition Treaty in virtue of wbich sbs wae extradited was to be in- terpreted in the strictest seme, which xnld not allow the court to compel the person extradited to leatify. When sbe wss was examined upon the crime of anon, on which alone she waa exUadiied. The i-i nrt on both tides wrangled for an hour, when Judge Wurtele decided that Leda was extradited with one explicit condition, but it was not to be understood that sbe ooald f re* herself from her obligations while here of a citizen of the country. Hhe still rifnecs lo testify, snd the court adjourned till to-morrow to obtain her final answer. He Dealt In " Haavea'* Wrath," but bad a Weakaeaa for ,Woniu.

While she was recovering he tied lo Wales, whither sbe followed him. There be renewed his promise to marry her which bad been given in America, and both returned lo the II oiled Blates. After further complication* Mr. Robert* abso- lutely refused to folnl his promise, and s criminal caae was instituted against him, wbicD wai never pressed.

While these negotiation* were in progren, Mr. Roberto wooed and married an eitimable lady. When Ihe case finally came to trial yesterday, il WM learned that Mr. Kobsrta was in biding and Mis* Uusaboal could not appear owing to a nervous attack brought on by her troubles. The evidence for the plaintiff wa* very dam aging. Attorney Pitcher and Dr. iiand both leitifled that Mr. Robert* bad con feiied to them the betrayal, and told of hit adviiing the care of a midwife and of hii violation of hi* promise; to marry the wuiiiau. Letters from Mr. Koberts lo the womsn were produced, in one of which he ayi : I fsel exceedingly glad tbat yon are safe through, but it require! great care forsoms time.

In another letter be tay s : " If tbe world is to know what ii between me and yon, il will be a fall to three other* with myself." It U said Roberts deceived his counsel as well as the woman snd hi* church, for they pre- sented no testimony for his defence.

Mr. Healy, counsel for the defendants, said be wai in mortal fear lest the trials would last for six months. Mr. Healy'* remarks ex- cited laughter. Much exoitement wa* occasioned in court by the evidence of one witness, a policeman, who testified tbat he followed several of the defendants into the vestry of tin Catholic church and tried to overhear what was said there by them.
