The Tablet says : A correspon¬ dent of Notes and Queries extracts from the IColnisebe Zeitung what is called “a correct transcript of the sentence of death pronounced against Jesus Christ.” The follow¬ ing is a copy of the most memora¬ ble judicial sentence which has ev¬ er been pronounced in the annals of the world—namely, that of death against the Savior—with the re¬ marks that the journal LeDroit has collected, the knowledge of which must be interesting in the highest degree to every Christian. Until now, we are not aware that it has ever been made public in the Ger¬ man papers. The sentence is word for word as follows; “Sentence pronounced by Pon¬ tius Pilate, Intendant of the Prov¬ ince of Lower Galilee, that Jesus of Nazareth shall suffer death by the cross. In the seventeenth year of the "eign of the Emperor Tiberius and on the 25th of the month of March, in the most holy city of Jerusalem, during the Pan'ificateof Annas aud Ca ; phas, Pontius Pilate Intendant of the Province of lower Galilee, sitting in judgment in the presidential seat of the Praetors, sentences Jesus Christ, ot Na/areth, tc death on a cross between two robbers, as the numerous and notorious testimonials of the peo¬ ple prove; (1). Jesus is a mis leader. (2). He has excited the people to sedition. (3). He is an enemy to the laws. (4). He calls himself the Son of God. (5). He calls himself falslcy the King of Is¬ rael. (6). He went into the Tem. p 1 e followed by a multitude carry¬ ing palms in their hands. Orders: The first centurion. Quintius Corne¬ lius, to bring him to the place of ex¬ ecution, forbids, all persons, rich or poor to prevent the execution of Jesus. The witnesses who have signed the execution against Jesus are: (1), Daniel Robani, Phari¬ see : (2). John Zorahabel; (3). Raphael Robani; (4}. Capet. Je¬ sus to be taken out of Jerusalem through the gate of Tournea.” The sentence is engraved on a plate of brass in the Hebrew lang¬ uage. and on its sides are the fol¬ lowing words: * “A similar plate has been sent to each tribe.” It was diccovered in the year 1280, in the city of Aquill (Aquilla?) in the Kingdom of Naples, by a search made for the discovery of Roman antiquities, and remained there un¬ til it was found by the Commissa¬ ries of Alt in the French Army of Italy. Up to the O ne of the cam¬ paign in southern Italy, it was pre¬ served in the sacristy of the Carthu¬ sians, near Naples, where it was kept in a box of ebony. Since then I the relic has been kept in the Chap¬ el of Caserta. The Carthusians ob¬ tained by their petitions that the plate might be kept by them, which was an acknowledgment of the sacri¬ fices which they made for the French army. The French transla¬ tion was made literacy by members of the Commission of Arts. Denon had a fac simile of the plate engrav¬ ed, which was bought by Lord How¬ ard on the sale of his cabinet for 29S0f. There seems to be no histo¬ rical doubt as to the authenticity of this. The reasons of the sentence correspond exac ’v w th those of the Gospels. A farmer had a son who showed no special auiitufc for business, and he was puzzled what to do with h ; m # He concluded to t v a.i e.rperment, so he locked ihe boy in a room in which the.e was only a Bible, an ap¬ ple and a dol'a’. A few minutes la ter he stole qj 'e ly to the room. He made up his mind that if he oond ihe boy eating the apple he would make a good farmer; if he were reading tne Bible he should be t aioed for the pulpit, and if he had taken (he money his success as a broker, the father thought, was as¬ sured.—Upon enteiing the room be found die buy Bitting upon the Bi¬ ble, eaiiog the apnle, with the dollar in his pocket.
