------------------------------------------------------------

The Court considers that in this case, the accused has acted without a full state of responsibility, by reason of his youth accused is therefore acquitted.

But the Court considers that the mother is civilly responsible for the act of her son and condemns her (Madame Chazot) to pay the costs of the proceedings.
