THE QUEEN v. NEWMAN.
INI'OIOIAIION.

The defendant's case we, resumed at sitting' of the
court, which wu crowded almost to suffocation throughout
the day.

Sophia 'Maria Principe, the last witi.ess examined yester-
day, wee again called, anal re-examined by Mr. Bramwell.
Made the paymerts to the imsg- of which I have spoken
of my own will. Many others pent besi lac myself. I have
not been to the church since what happened to me there.
Ido eat remember Dr. Achalh's leaving the church. I
last saw him a short time before my mother was aware of
the state that I was in. I went ledor, the pollee shout Dr.
Acliilli. I saw the commissary of police, and stated all
that happened. My father and mother were there; I did
not eve Dr. Achilli there. I received sweetmeats from him

visited him again in the sacristy, end the some thing was
re located.
Ply the Attorney-f.leneral—l went to the comenbeary of
Polite before may (vellum( nt, when I had been e,rttlaht
four ,r five months. Dr. Achilli yes then In Narks. lie
applied to the police, and caused my fether to he summoned
before the police. I never met Dr Achilli before the
police. n my father was before the police I did not
go. The ultair was repeated seven or eight times in the
sacristy. I cannot swear exactly the number of times; the
period eltended from November or December until my
mother knew of it. Dr. A.chilli kft Naples a long time
utter I found myself with child. Dr. Athilli brought my
father before tke police to nay that my tamgy had uttered
this calumny against him, which was uut true.
By Sir A. E. Cockburn—My father was called a second
time before the police. The commissaly had informed
himself between the two complaints whether my family
were honest, and whether I was 411110 M et girl. Afterwards
the commissary sent fur my father, and gave the papers to
another tribunal My father was cent ler by the corneal,
may a third time, and some other times, us his knowledge
of the matter increased.

Cranium Principe, examined by Sir A. R. Cockburn—l
am the mother of the last witness. I nmensber my daugh-
ter being in the family way ; but I don't renimber the )ear
or the month. She was not then marital. She WJS about
13 or 14 years of age. I saw her weep, and din not
know what was the matter with her. I inquired what was
the matter, and she told me every thing. tip to that time
my daughter had conducted herself with propriety. About
Lent Dr. Achilli wan in a proctidion, and I and my husband
took him aside into a house and told him the affair. Ile
was angry, and mid it was not him. Ile mid, observe care-
fully, 1 inn a 'meat. lle said he had nothing to do with it.
I said he was a priest, and I would apply first to divine
justice, and then to the laws of his country. Ile turned
from me, and said " Go to the devil if you like, tome it
matters nothing." lie caused me and my husband to he
called before the commissary of police a few days after. Ile
was not present at the time. When Achilli went to the
commissary, he stated that a low family—a pour family had
calumniated him. The coinruissury sent for the father to
know how the priest wan involved in this. The commissary
told us that we were to take the daughter before him, be-
cause he wished to ascertain her age. lle caused my daughter
to confess every thing that had happened. Neither my
husband nor myself were punished for what we had said of
Dr. Aehilli. Ido not know how long before this happened
Dr. Achilli had left Naples.
Cross-examined by the Solicitor-General—l am fifty-
nine years of age. I do not know whether I was
twenty-four or twenty-five yearn of age when my daughter
was born. 811 c was horn in Naples, and so was I. My
husband's business was to make bread. I had no separate
business of my own. I can only guess that my daughter
was confined 13 or 14 years ago; but 1 cannot mind it all.
My husband died three or lour years afterwards of a dis-
ease of the heart. I never knew Dr. Aehilli before this
happened. I knew him by sight. 1 saw him preuchiug in
ad the chapels. I cannot say whether Dr. Aehilli remained
for two years in Naples atter these occurrences. When I
spoke to Dr. Achilli in the procession, it was about 4 or 5
nays after I discovered my daughter's pregnancy. The
question was before the police for three or four months.
Dr. Aehilli made Ids eomplaint to the police about a month
after my husband and I hail spoken to him. He did not
preach HI the churches of Naples for a long time niter this
occurred. I never saw him after 1 first spoke to him. My
daughter lived with me three or four months after her con-
finement. I was then obliged to send her to work. I used
to take her to her work and fetch her back. My daughter
married 8 years ago. My husband died one year after.
Antonio Russo examined by Mr. Serjeant Wileins—l am
a native of Malta, and a resident at Corfu. lam a carpen-
ter by trade. 1 know Gerumeni, a tailor, at Corfu. I re-
member walking one night in July, 1831, with slurino
Venici in Corfu. In the street of Bianello we passed the
house of the mother in-law of Gannioni. As we passed
Oaramoni opened the door, and called me within. lie
said to me and Marino Venici, see here is the catholic
priest Achilli. I saw him an the stair near the apartment
of the wife of Oaramoni ; it was about 11 or half-past 11
o'clock at night. I took hold of him by the collar, and
said, what are you duiug here ? Ile trembled, but did not
answer. Ciaranioni called out, and a lump was brought,
and Isaw Achilli'a face. Garamoni 0118 very angry with
his wife, her mother, and even with Aehilli. Claremont called
out for a constable. When the light was brought, the
constable nut being there, Athena slipped through awl
escaped ; he was runniog like a horse. 1 and Venici were
afterwards called betore the court, eight or nine days
afterwards. Our depositions were taken. Garamoni was
in England for two or three months, he returned to Corfu
about a month ago.
Cross-examined by the Attorney-General—l came over
to this country with Oaramoni, and lived with hint here.
I know Captain Lawrence, the inspector of police at Corfu.
I left England just when Garatnum did. I went to Dieppe,
Marseilles, Paris, and Corfu, and then I returned here.
Before Garamoni left I had not heard of the snivel of Cnp-
tain Lawrence here. I Inuit that in Corfu. I did not tell
it to Oaramoni, because everybody in Corfu knew it.
Garamoni was in Corfu, and remained there. I was once
imprisoned in Coda for two or three hours, for some
youthful trifle. On account of the condemnation, I was
sent to prison for beating my brother. I have been sent to
prison at other times for youthful trifles. I was also ac-
cused of theft. 1 was in prison two, or three, or four days
on that charge. I cannot swear that I have not been im-
prisoned in 1840, 1842, 1813, 1844, and 184.5. 1 was never
in the house of Oaramoni's mother-in.law before. Ido not
know whether he lived with his mother-in-law. I don't
know whether he lived with his wife. When Dr. Achilli
ran away like a horse, he was running on the eaplanade,
but I don't know how far he went. I don't know whether
Dr. Achilli lived nest door to Garamoni's mother-in-law.
1 never knew Dr. Achilli before that evening, even by
sight. I never saw him again after this occurred I was
called before the court in Corfu on the business. I did
not give any testimony of it.
Ite-zxanuned by Mr. Serjeant Wilkins—l was once only
charged with theft, but it was not true. I was imprisoned
for being intoxicated. Gammon called out loudly that it
was Achilli' but he did not lecak. The lamp was held up
in Achilli's face by Garamoni's wife; she was obliged by her
husband to do so.

Signor Bochicianvi, examined by Mr. Addison—l am a
native of Cephalonia. I knew Dr. Achilli at Ancona in
1841. He sought my acquaintance ; his object was to go to
Corfu. I had a passport to Corfu. lie asktil my permis-
sion to insert his name in that passport. I gave it to him.
He then went to the English Consul with it, and his name
was inserted in it. He told me that he could not get out of
Italy without a passport. lie bad no money to pay for his
passage, and I paid for it. I had some difficulty to get the
money repaid. I saw Dr. Achilli afterwards at Corfu, with
the wife of his servant. There are parts of Corfu fre-
quented by prostitutes; they are principally confined to
prostitutes. I have seen Dr. Achilli there more than
once.

The Attorney-General objected to this matter as not
being in the plea of justification.
Lord Campbell ruled the objection to be good.
Cross-examined by the At torney-General—lt was in 18t2,
and not in 1841, that Pr. Achilli accompanied me and in,
wife to Corfu. It was after Dr. Achilli had been impel-
toned in the Inquisition. He was introduced in the passport
as a tutor, to enable him to escape from Italy.
Oloyani Patrignani examined by Mr. Iladdely-1 am a
jeweller at Corfu. I know Dr. Achilli. 1 have seen him
in Corfu. I became acquainted with him in 1843 or 1844.
I knew Gararnoni. 1 heard observations as to the.condnet
of Dr. Achilli and Garamoni's wife, which induced me to
watch the house of Garamoni's mother-in.law. Oariunoni
took me one even' ng to show me where it was. 1 went
opposite the house. We watched up to 11 o'clock from
half-past 9or 10 o'clock. We did not see anything at that
time. Garamoni then said, let us go and see if my wile is
on the balcony, but she was not. After we had paced we
heard the door of the house opened where Garamoui's
mother-in-law and wife lived. 1 saw a man come out, and,
by his stature, it appeared to me that it was Dr. Achilli.
was well acquainted with hint. Ile had been in my shop,
and employed me to make a seal is ith the Italian emblem.
' Dr. Achilles house was chute by. Ile turned that way, and
we did not see any more of him. This wax after 11 o'clock
at night. I know a person called Carraloni. His wile was
called Albin*. She was a woman of light character—a
woman of thy town. I had commualcstian with her about
Dr. Achilli. 1 never saw her in his company or at his
house.

Larkin Reynolds examined by Sir A. E. Cockburn-
-1 was employed by the British government in the lonian
Islands for 2, years as inspector of houses and collector of
customs. lam now retired on my pension. Dr. Achilli
was brought to my house by Captain awl Mrs. Ford. lie
spoke to me on the subject of establishing an Italian pro-
testant church in Conn. This was in the autumn of 1814.
le asked for my assistance, and took a house for the pur-
pose immediately contiguous to my house. I used my utmost
exertions to get him a good congregation, for which purpose
subscriptions and contributions were made. The chapel
was opened the last week in 1844 or the first week in 1845.
On my going there 1 wu struck by the appearance of a
a woman of notoriously bail character, who was acting as
doorkeeper. I had seen her in Cephalonia, where she had
been a common prostitute, her husband bringing his friends
to her. My dressing-room window at Cephalonia looked
towards the back of her house, and she lived in a street in
which several of my friends lived. I frequently bull occa-
sion to see her during three yeah. She was so notorious
that every one knew her. Her husband
and used to bring home his friends'

house and having frequent connexion with proatitutes.
Achilli hail lived with those men in another house in
the early part of the: same year. The two priests
denied the charges; and the ease was held nut
to he pruvsd at the time. Dr. Acidlii called
Crozzi a ca'umniutor. Ile persevered in making the
charges. and oil the :oh Jan. lit was called on to •IttOtatt-
tight his charges witain a month, or to withdraw them.
Some time after the Rev. Mr. Tucker mentioned the name of
Dr. llonasia as a witness. His statements were sent by me
to Dr. in writing. Dr. Bunavio stated that he had
heard from Mr. Zaccharis similar revelations to those he
had made to Ceossi. I gave the statement to 1/r. Achilli
in Feb. ISIS, sod told him I should send it to the commit
tee in London. I did not tell him that there would be a
further investigation. On the 19th Feb., 11115, 1 received a
letter from Dr. Achilli stating that be had need of Zaccha•
ris for an important mission, that he would start that in-
want for his destination, and ho consequently was no longer i
member of the college. I hail heard of his going away on
the Pith Feb. I left Malta on the 2lth April, ISIS. I left
for England. Dr. Achilli came to hoodoo soon after. The
resolution of the committee was that he hail resigned. I
returne I to Malta in July. The chairman of the committee
desired me to dismiss Leonine. Ceiusi continued to teach at
the college until after 1 left Malta. I believe be is now gone
back to the church of Rome. Dr. Achilli was well ac-
quainted with the charges brointht sgoinst the two priests.
Criss-examined by the Attorney-ON/end—There were
from three to seven Italian priests who hail seceded from
the Roman catholic religion. 1/r. Achilli was over the .
The priests all lived in the same house.
Alexander Watt, 1:11:11111,1Cli by Mr. Addison—l was for-
merly the clerical secretary to the Malta college. I remetn-
bee tile charges against the two priests. Dr. Achil:i was
anxious that I should suppress the documents, and said it
would be of no use to bring them haute the committee.
The committee came to a resolution to investigate the
charge. The Itishop of Gibraltar was asked to investigate
the charge, hot he refused because Zaccharis had been sent
away by Dr. Achilli. The committee determined to remove
Dr. Achilli from his situation in the college, and to close
that branch of the institution. The resolution was dated
on the Sth May. Dr. Achilli wrote to the Earl of Shaftes-
bury in September, ISIS, to which I replied un Gth Decem-
ber in the same y.iar. The first letter 'toed that Dr. Achilli
was about to return to Italy, and ha thought he would not
have been allowed to leave England so embittered as he
was, b-cause of the misunderstanding between them. He,
however, hived him as much as ever in the Lord; and
hoped that no further ill feeling would continue be-
tween them. The second letter written by wisneas
complained that Dr. Achilli had butt the college
at Malta without have in term time, and his not having at-
Waded a meeting of the committee to explain his conduct.
The letter went on to allude to 1/r. Achilli's sending away
Zaccharis, and thus preventing the attainment of the ends
of justice, and concluded by stating that the committee had
withdrawn their confidence from him, and had determined
to pay his salary up to that day.
Cross-examined by the Attorney-General—The Earl of
Ilarrowhy proposed a resolution to discontinue the mission
houses at Malta, and to determine Dr. Achilli's engagement.
There wa. m entry on the 19th of June, stating that the
committee had come to the resolution that l)r. Achilli having
voluntarily abandoned his situation during term time, must
be considered as having terminated his engagement by his
own act. The resolution was communicated to Dr. Achill,
and his salary paid up to the 19th of June. The witness
was proceeding to read a minute upon which the resolution
was founded, stating a communication from the Bishop of
Gibraltar, complaining of the conduct of Dr. Achilli.
The Attorney-General rbjected to its being read. He
hail only asked to have the resolution read.
Lore: Campbell thought, as the resolution referred to the
recital, it ought to be all read.
It was then read, and stated that the Bishop of Gibraltar
moaphdaed of the hostile conduct of Dr. Achilli towards
imimalswe of the church of England at Malta, and went on
leresits the fact of his having left his post at the college in
Wm time without leave, to come to England.
The Earl of Shaftesbury, examined, by Sir A. C. Cock-
burn—l was chairman of the committee of the Malta Pro-
testant College. Complaints were forwarded to the com-
mittee against Leonini and Zaccharis. The noble earl re-
eapitulated the facts. When Dr. Achilli came to London,
the only reason he assigned for leaving Malta was that he
bad baciness of his own in London. We had previously
come to a resolution to break up the mission house attached
to the college over which he had presided, as we thought
the evil could not be eradicated.
Dr. Itonavia, examined by Mr. Badileley—Was Latin
and Italian teacher at the college at Malta. Had some
conversation with Dr. Achilli as to certain charges brene,ht
against Leonini and Zaccharis, but not directly. I asked
hem if he had Picard the reports about them. Ile said he
had. I then asked if he believed them ; he said he did not.
He used no expressions of disapproval. I asked if he
thought it was judicious to permit those visits which took
place at the mission-house at St. Julian, namely, the visits
of a married lady, who used to come from Vlllletta to visit
Leonini, a friend of his, He asked if 1 thought it was I
wrong. I told him it was not judicious, in consequence of
the reports which were related in the town, because such
visits would strengthen them—more especially in Ltonini's
own room. He asked me who told me that she used to
visit him. I said I was not authorised to mention any
name. He got in a passion, and said I was too scrupulous,
because you ere married; if you were a bachelor, perhaps
you would do worse than Leoulni. It would be better for
you to mind yourself, and not to meddle with our affairs, if
you wish to continue in our friendship.
Cram-examined by the Attorney-General—l first told
Mr. Lewin of this conversation on my arrival in London.
I have been five months in London on this affair. 1 am
at the Malta bar. I am now Italian teacher at the Malta
College. The vice-principal of the Malta College, the ltev.
Mr. Bryan, told me to come here. I did not mention this
conversation to Sir. Lewin until two months ago. I don't
kaow why I did not mention it before.

I wished afterwards to withdraw my warning, but she
would not let me stay. She said she could not give me a
character for cleanliness. Mrs. Cadogan, my aunt,apoke to
me about my coming here six months ago.
Mrs. Cadogan, examined by Mr. Bramwell—l am an
aunt to the last witness. She complained to me of what
Dr. Achilli had done to her about four days after she had
gone into his service. I mentioned it to my husbermls but
did not give my niece any advice about it, or see Dr.
Achilli.
Cross-examined by the AttornerGemeral—l heard that
Mrs. Achilli had arrived, but I did set say say_ • about
it. I first spoke to Mrs. Castalini, the wile of De. 's
man-cook, about it. I saw Mr. Lewis, the lawyer, about
it six weeks ago.
Jane Lake, examined by Mr. Baddeley-1 was in the
service of Dr. Achilli about ten months ago. I was in his
service seven or eight months. I was servant of all work.
Dr. Achilli took liberties with me about three months after
I was in kis service. I gave notice to leave, and he &eked
me to step ea. I did stop. Ile had kissed ma two or three
times befen that. He took liberties with me that even'm g,
bat orratias mere than kissed me. A day or two afterwards
he took liberties with me in mistress's bedroom.
He ultimately had coauthor with me, and se-
veral times after it occurred again. I became in
the family way. I left about four months afterwards
and took another place. I could not stop there, I wan ill.
I was confined on the sth of November ; the child died, and
for a long time I had the small pox. I saw Dr. Achilli
about two weeks before I was confined. I did not say any-
thing to him about my situation. I never told him I was
with child. A Mr. Augustani was staying with Dr. Achilli
all the time I was there,u a friend. He also bad connelion
with me. I did not tell Dr. Achilli of it. I saw Dr. Achilli
at my sisters, Mrs. Logan. He came to see a gentleman,
a friend of his, lodging there. It was after the baby was
dead. I never asked him for anything, or said anything to
him about it. I told him about live weeks after I was con-
fined. I told him I was subrenaed here. Ile fund 1 need
not go. I should shut the door in the face of any one who
might come to subperna me.
Cross-examined by the Solicitor-General.—Mrs. Achilli
never complained of my conduct towards men. She said
she would not allow a young man to come to me in the
house. Some time after she came down one night sad
found a man there. He had been there two hours.

Achilli in that room with that woman. I have seen him
with his shirt and trouser, on snit the woman in her ode n

tapper part of the pinions of people iu that room. She
dressed usually ia an epee ilnue—very open over the

to roe. 'There was a how, of Mrs. Reed also looking into
the. room. She is dead. She used to keep her blinds down.
I MAW Dr. Aciiilli iigain on the subject, and he still
it was his duty, being u Nt gdAlenC. to support her when all
the world was against her. I adverted to the familiarities
I hail seen. I did nut as that 1 bail seen him put his hand
on her breast, but I told him he appeared to Is' very fami-
liar with his sersent. I recommended him to send her
and her husband away. Ile need fri,mently to come into

the familiarities; they were always the same kind of fami-

in the same way. Dr. Achilli Was guile aware that I knew
all this, and it was in front of the window, and close to it.
I attended the chapel once or twice after this, but nut con-
stantly. I cannot tell when I ceased to be a member of the
congregation, but think it was in Juno or July. The fami-
liarities began in April or May. Dr. Achilli has never re-
mowitrataid with me on my habitual intemperance. Ima

have talked to • Licut. Stoney about this matter. I think 1

thing wrong between Dr. Achilli and Carraboni's wife was
because I had seen two pillows on the bed, and two covers
on the table. I know Captain Constantino need. lie was

them from Malta, and they wrote ti engage me as a wit-
ness. I had seen the proceedings against rte. Newman in

'abject. 1 know a person celled Parson Mitchell; he was
chaplain of the forties at Cephalonia. I don't know if he

the ladies; the Italian women who have given their evi-
dence. I went dawn to l'lymouth to subpoena Stoney. I
have nit given any one notice that the trial was deferred.
This letter (handed to the witneas) is in my handwriting.
After I withdrew from the chapel at lance, I never saw
Dr. Achilli again. Ido not think my wife or daughter ob-
served these familiarities. A servant of mine has seen
them. She wed to sit at the window, which commanded
the view of the laundry, working, waiting to attend on her
mistress, who was ill. There were from seventeen
to twenty-five English persons who attended the
congregation. (Several letters were then handed to the
witness, which he acknowledged to be in his handwriting.)
I was at the York Hotel, Blackfriars I was called home,
" thanks to Parson Mitchell." I may have written that to
Stoney. Mitchell gave in my name with several others es
witnesses. Several letters from witness to Lieutenant
Stoney were put in. (The witnem said in sumo! the letters,
" 11c-re am I again called home, thanks to Parson
Mitchell." In another he said that Messrs. Lewin would
send Lieutenant Stoney the money named by hint if be
knew anything shout it. They were very liberal, indite
need not be ashamed to appear in the case, as Lord Shaftes-
bury and two clergymen's eons were to be wituemes for the
defence.)
By the court.—l don't know who told me that Messrs.
Lewin were disposed to he very liberal. I don't know
that I was authorised to say it. I can't tell whether I
was Or not. _ _ _

there until 1861. I remember a Mr, and Miss Ford visiting I
Mr. Reynolds. They brought Dr. Achilli to the house. I
saw Curraboni's wife eating as doorkeeper at the cel.
She was on her knees at the door. Her husband acted as
singer When Mrs. Reynolds was ill I sat is the room
nest her, to be in readies,* to attend my mistress. I could

house, which was used as a laundry. The window where I '
sat had Venetian Minds, and nobody could see me, bat I

Dv. Aehilli and Carraboni's wife in the laundry several times.
I have sees them together in the room. I served Corm

because her mistress was ill, sad could not bear day light.
Then was no other reams why they were kept down.
When Mrs. Reynolds got better the blinds were not kept
down—not always.
Cans-examined by the Attorney-General—Mr. Reynolds
wrote for me to come from Geneva about a fortnight ago.
I have been paid all my expenses, bat I deo% know who
paid me. They have only paid for my journey. Mr.
Reynolds has paid for me. I have seen Dr. Achilli

ties. I was were 'nub shocked, and always turned away.
The familiarities nositinisivel for three or four mouths. I

Re-examined by Sir A. E. Cockburn—l am a protestant.
The blinds were kept shut at Mr. Reynolds's, partly be-

said it had been a great expert, to us hosing her them to

was all his answer. 1 saw him v;:.110 tau 0: trite drays
after. Ile crone to us—we were .übpienaerl at that time—
he said he thought they could not make us go by
that. Ile raid he th ilight Jane had nothine o, wry
against bins. I said, of course, sir, you know
what passed between yon and Jute, He made
me no answer. He came down the same week with a
letter, which he had feet scut to him. The letter was cnn-
cerning my sister, which some person had written to him.
There were only two initials at the buttora of it. The
letter told him be ought to be ashamed of himself to draw
pour domestics into trouble, and not see thou out of it; and
without be scut r.g., to defray all expenses, lie should hear
further of it. I said I did not know who had sent it, and
Dr. Achilli said it must have come (rota the same party as
the subpomas slid. I said 1 did not know. I said I had
not said anything to any one about him end Jmie. He said '
Mrs. Caritelani must have leen doing it all. Mr. Churchy,
a friend of Dr. Achilli, came there several times.
Crews-examined by the Attorney.Genetal.—My sister was '
in apartments alter she left Dr. Aeliilli's—but 1 don't know
where. The child did nut live quite three week*. Mr.
Castalani came to take lodgings at my house fur two gentle-
men, a few days after Mr. Lewin's clerk Coale. I believed
her object was to get what she could out of me and my
sister about Dr. Aehilli. I would not see her aPerwartle,
and told my sister, when she was speaking to her, that I
would rather spit in her face than talk to her.
Sarah Wood, r muninrd by Mr. Bramwell —I am 19
years of age. lam now living with my parents at Wind-
sor. I was in the service of Mr. Achilli. I went into his
service on the 15th of March, the year before last—Nil I
think it was. (Laughter.) Dr. Achilli took liberties with
me a fortnight after I was there. I went up stairs to clean
Augustini's tied-room nut. Mrs. Achilli Was gone out.
Dr. Achilli came into the bed-room—he followed me several
times round the room, and tried to put his hands round
my waist, but I walked away from him. A knock came
to the door, and be ran down stairs and commenced
writing. I went down and found it was my mistress re-
turned for her parasol. I went back to the bedroom, and
Achilli came to me again, and tried to kiss me. I walked
away and began to cry, arid said I would write to Mrs.
Trennary who recommended me there. Ile went away
and said I should be a very naughty girl. Ile gave me is
religious beak afterward*' the title of which was "Come to
Jews" A fortnight after I was going up stairs, and he
called me to his dressing-room, and said I bud not dusted
the table. Mrs. Achilli was out. I returned for a duster
and knelt down to duet the table. lle bolted the door in
the meanwhile—he then took me by the shoulders
and threw nie 011 a bed. I tried to get away with all my
might, but 1 could not. Ile had connexion with me, and
it was against my will. I said I would leave his service. I
stayed five months after. I cannot write. I left because I
was so ill I could not stay any longer. My father came
and took me away.
Crew-examiacil by the Attorney-General-1 was in the
House of Mercy at Windsor before I went to Dr. Achilli's ;
it is a place for women who have misconducted themselves.
I was there about 19 months. 1 was 16 when I went there.
Mrs. Achilli came to Mrs. Ferment, who recommended me.
I was a protestant. Several people said the House of Mercy
was a Roman catholic place, but I don't think it was. I
did not fast when at Mrs. Achilli's. I never said a word
about what had taken place until Mr. Lewin 's clerk came
to inquire after me about four months ago. I was then at
' Captain Scott's, in the Castle-yard, at Windsor. I only
then told him part of it—that Dr. Achilli had tried to put
his arm round me aud did not succeed. I was afterwards
questioned by my father mid mother, and then I wrote up
to Mr. Lewin to tell him I had not told the truth. I got a
Mr. Gilbert to write for me.
Re-examined by Sir A. E. Coekburn—l bad been seduced
before I went to the House of Mercy. Mrs. Achilli was a
friend of Mrs. Ferment.
Catherine Forman, examined by Mr. Addison—l live in
Great Smith-street, Westminster. I once lived as *errant
with Miss Lambert, 3, St. James's-street, Pall.mall. Dr.
Achilli came to lodge there in 1147, before he went to
Malta. He attempted to take liberties with me after he had
been there six month,. As I was putting things on the
table he put his hands around tae, and asked me to confess
to him. (Laughter.) I jumped away from him. At an-1
other time he asked me to show him on a map on the table '
the way to Clirkenwell. As I leant over the table he
pressed himself against me. lam a catholic. I mentioned
it to my confessor. Dr. Achilli used to come in late at
night.
Cress-examined by the Solicitor-General—Miss Lambert
was a dressmaker. I did not tell her of the imptoner con-
duct of Dr. Achilli ; neither did I tell any one rise. Mr.
Simpson, of Clapham.commcm, n Roman catholic, applied
to me in December last to give evidence. I had never men-
tioned it to any one but my confessor. I have also seen
Fatima. Hutchinson, at the Oratory, about it. I then saw
Mr. LCWIII.B clerk. I confessed it to the Rev. Dr. M'Guire,
; of Warwick-street. _ .

The Plaintiff in this ease is an architect. carrying on his
profession in Connaught-terrace, Edgwarmroad ; and the
defendant is a solieiter in Bedford-row. In 1841 the plain-
tiff was requested to give his assistance towards the then
intend.. d new hospital at Paddington, and lie accordingly
become honorary architect. In the course of the building
a diepute arose with the builder as to the a,ount of work
done, there being a large difference between his estimate
and that of the plaintiff. In consequence of this state of
things Mr. Marshall, a surveyor, went over the work, and
hts report was similar to the plaintiff's. Mr. Barton, how-
ever, the builder, wss still eli.mtistied, but at la,t lie agreed
to a suagestion made by the plaintiff that Mr.
Hodson should look over the work and give his
eleckion upon the subject; but Mr. Barton agreed
to this urrangemen, only upon the terms that
the committee should pay one half of the expenses of Mr.
Itoilmu's survey. Of these expenses the plaintiff had been
compelled to pay one half, and he now sought to recover
what he had paid from the defendant, as a member of the
committee.

Mr. Serjeant Wilkins and Mr. Dorill for the pinintifr ;
and Mr. Serjenut Channell and Mr. Cowling for the de-
fendant.

The defendant was examined at *me length as to what
had taken place between him and the committee, hut he
failed to disclose any circumstances sufficient to render the
delentlant liable in this action.

This was the day fixed for the adjourned last examina-

Mr. Lowrance, on behalf of creditors, asked fora further
adjournment—additional accounts having been tiled since
the last meeting, and the law proceedings instituted to try
the question of partnership being still pending.
Mr. I'cachey, for the bankrupts, oppusail the adjourn-
ment on the ground that a sufficient inquiry had already

Tbia was a customary attachment in an action of debt for
2001., sworn at 871., by virtue of which the plaintiff, on the
MI of May, attached that sum in the hands of Messrs.
Roberts and Co., the bankers, as the money of the com-
pany.
A clerk in Messrs. Roberts establishment was called, and
he stated that they had OW. of the company's money in
their hands, and it was shown by receipts that Messrs.
Kuban* had recognised the company by the name appear-
ing on the record.
Mr. Randall, for the garnishees, submitted that the pro-
ceedings were bad, an there was no evidence that the com-
pany was incorporated either by royal charter or act of par-
liament, or registered under the 7 and 8 Victoria.
ilia Recorder held that that was an objection for the
company to take, and not the gerni,het c. They had treated
the defendants as a company; and therefore it must be in-
ferred that they were a company liable to be sued u such.
The jury found for the plaintiff 801.

Mr. Hurtiug, a solicitor, had been employed to go to'
Italy and get evidence. Ile bad been to Hume, Viterbo,
Malta, and Naples. I entered into communication with the
bishop and his vicar-general at Viterbo, some friars, and
the police authorities. I did not obtain any police docu-
ments, because they had all been destroyed in the last re-
vOution. The witness subsequently went to Naples, and
obtained some documents there which Lord Campbell held
c3uld not be received in evidence. Ile then proceeded to
Rome, where Monsignor Talbot, the Pope's secretary, in-
troduced him to the notary of the Inquisition, and other
parties with the view to his obtaining certain documents
relative to Dr. Achilli, from the archives of the Holy Inqui-
sition. He obtained an office copy—an official copy of a
judgment of that court on Dr. Achilli.
Dr. Grant said he was an English Roman catholic
bishop.
Lord Campbell—Where is your see ? Oh, I beg your
pardon, I won't ask of what see. (Laughter.)
Witness—l resided 14 years in Rome; I wus at the head
of the English college there. I know the Court of the In-
quisition in the Vatican. I have seen the seal of the office
on documents which have passed through my bands. I
have applied to the court for documents, but not to the
office. They had the seal of the court affixed to them.
Witness looked at the document in question, and said he
had seen documents with a similar seal and signature
issued from the court. The proceedings of the court are
Secret.

Crum-examined by the Solicitor-General—l hays never
seen a seal of this description before. [The seal to the do.
cumert in question.] Since the invasion of the French the
cake of the Inquisition has been removed from the Palace
to the Vatican. I have no pessonal knowledge of the (ewe
in the Vatican. . . .

•
Sir A. E. Cockburn now proposed to have the document
reed.
---- - - -

The Attorney-General, referring to 14 & lu Vie., cap.
99, see. 7, submitted that there was no proof whatever of
the existence of a court having jurisdiction over the subject
matter, and that was essential to make the seal of the court
authenticate itself.

Dr. Grant said the Court of the Inquisition was the en
preme court over ecclesiastics. He was well acquainted
with canon law, and had been asked to advise Cardinal
Acton upon it. The jurisdiction of the court differed in
different states according to the will of the sovereign of such
state. The jurisdiction of the court was partly criminal
and partly for advising the Holy See upon difficult questions
of theology. It ezercised criminal jurisdiction in matters
of heresy, and grievous eases of immorality against cede-
siuties. There were various other crimes supposed to fall
under the classification of heresy.
Sir A. E. Cockburn again tendered the document.
The Attorney-General said he would not now object to
the seal or the jurisdiction, but upon the ground that the
judgment was es parte. There was no proof of it/entity
between the prosecutor in this case and the party adjudged
by the judgment in question. There was no proof that
Dr. Achilli appeared and was heard in his defence. It
might have been fabricated altogether.
Lord Campbell thought there was sufficient evidence to
prove that the document was under the seal of the Inquisi-
tion, and could be admitted to prove an allegation in the
plea. Thank God, there was no Inquisition in this country
—(here there was a burst of applause in the court)—but as
• court of an independent state, we were bound, according
to the law of nations, to respect it. This might be the first
time in which such • judgment had been received in an
English court of justice, but we were not to be frightened
by the term " Inquisition," and be hoped be should do no
injury to protestantism by receiving this document,
The judgment of the Inquisition wed then read, and
stated in effect, that on his own confession and after a
.

mature examination, it had been found that Criarinto
Achilli had been guilty of carnal connexion with several
women in the convent at Viterbo, and of a ram on another
woman there. That he hail carnally known two women at
Caput, and that he had made a young person at Naples a
mother. The holy inquisitors deprived him of all ecclesias-
tical functions for ever, and sentenced him to be sent to a
certain convent for three years.
Lord Campbell said he did not regard this document as a
judgment in the Court of Admiralty ; but be received only in
proof of the allegation in the plea that there was such a
judgment in the court of the Inquisition.
The Attorney-Oeneral sail his learned friends and him-
sell did not regard it as a judgment at all, but a mere nar-
rative. A document was also put in from Corfu showing
that Garamoni's wife sued her husband for alimony, one of
his answers to which was that his wife had been found at
her mother's house at 11 o'clock at night with Dr. Achilli.
The Attorney-General said they had all the proceedings'
in these matters which they should put in in full to-
-1310170#1.
Lord Campbell—Yes, they will form part of your cue, no
doubt.
Wm. Nicholls, a Dominican friar, proved that Dr. Achilli,
as a Dominican monk, must have taken three vows of
obedience, poverty, and chastity. The priests were bound
to rte .rpLtual celibacy.kd by the counsel for the prosecution that if
the charges were true they were for the public benefit.
This war the sisignshmt's ease. The court rose at half-
Visa.
