!cora e. AOI7ADO.—CRIN. CON.
This case was resmsed agaia this morning.
Sir F. Theeiger, Mr. Built, and Mr. Phipson appealed
for the plaintiff; the Attorney-General, Serpent wain.,
and Mr. Wise were counsel for the defendant.
The evidence given by the Count de Morey, taken ander
a commission, was read. It set forth that on the 6th of
June, 1851, he went with the Count Aguado from London
to the Pavilion Hotel, Folkestone, where they remained
until the 901, the reason for the delay there being the very
rough state of the weather. Mn. Hope was also there, and
they all took their meals together and occupied the same
apartment. Ile sometimes went out with the Count
delude, and Mr.. Hope sometimes accompanied them, but
she generally remained at the hotel The must was
affected with neuralgia. When they left the Count Aguado
paid all the expenses, and the Coupt De Morey Aube,-
gamily settled with him at Paris, to which they travelled,
occupying the same compartment in the railway carriage.
He saw nothing whatever in Mrs. Hope's conduct to cons-
' promise her character. It was not at all unusual for • lady
in Paris to receive visitors in her bedroom. On his crass-
examination by the commissioners, the witners stated that
this custom did not extend tee • gustleman entering a lady's
room during the time she was dreseirg, but only when the
bed was made, and the room in proper order.
Charles Colin was then called end examined by Scrjeant
Wilkins—On the Ist of March, 1845, I went into the service
of the Count Aguado as coachman, and remained with him
until November last. I remember going with him to Italy
in 1818. We left Paris about the end of July, and returned
about the month of October. The count remrned with his
mother. In 1851 I came over to England with the count.
That was about the end of May. We stopped at the Bruns-
wick Hotel for six or seven days, and then went to the
Pavilion Hotel at Folkestone. It was nightfall when we
arrived there. I slept there. D was with us. He
and I had separate rooms, but Doverne passed every night
with the count. I remember the Count de Morey being
there. The Count Aguado was suffering from pains in his
face from neuralgia. He is very often effected with thou
pair/. I have never seen ally improper familiarity between
Mrs. Hope and the Count Aguado.
Cross-examined by Bir F. Thesiger—lt was from the 20th
to the 30th of July we went to Italy. The count went
away with hie mother. He remained away till the end of
October. I did not ge any distance with them. When we
went to Folkestone from London it was by an afternoon
train. I don't know the number of the room I slept in at
the Pavilion. My room war on the floor above the count's
room. The count was suffering much from neuralgia the
night we arrived. I know that Doverne slept in the count's
room, for after dinner we were together, and he left me,
and went down to the count. There was no
filed hour for his going down sometimes tan
o'clock or 11 o'clock, or ball-pact 9 o'clock. I cannot
tell what hour we were generally in my room. It was a
bed-room. I know that Do 00000 's toom•eas on the same
floor. I was never in the count's room. When I was
called, the morning we left, the count came up with Do-
verne. Doverne calks' me, and told me the porter bad
been to tell the count that the sea was fair. The count
came up stairs to tell me to prepare our boxes.
Re-examined by the Attorney-General—l saw the count
and his mother start for Italy with Doverne.
Henri Doyen examined—l am a magistrate at Paris. I
have known the Count Aguado's family many years. I was
at Havre in 1848, at the asme time as the Aguado family.
I was at Frascati's My room was above the count'a
room, or that of his brother. Those rooms adjoined. I re-
collect the bridge leading to Little Frascati. The count
never oceupied a room in Little Frascati. He eau-
pied 122. The count had his valet, Doverne, with him. I
remember the count going to Italy at the end of July, 1848.
I saw them go. I went to take leave of them at the Place
Vendome, end saw them depart. The marquise, the count,
the marquis's elder brother, end Dr. Murrains were there.

travels for pleasure. He has his own furniture, and has
not changed his lodgings since 1846. I am generallyet
home; the concierge who was in the house in 1849 and 1850,
died in the latter year. I had a concierge during two years.
I seat him away, and have not seen him since. I never
saw a lady get out of a brougham at the door of my house.
Re-examined by the Attorney. General—The count fe a
tall person with a dark beard.
By Sir F. Thesiger—l did not see him at Paris. I did

Hotel de Ville for the purpose of taxes. Each proprietor
is obliged to inthe a return of his house, which is afterwards
verified by the proper officer. I have recently examined
these books at the Hotel de Ville. They are never per-
mitted to be taken away. A copy of the entries would be
received in courts of junkie in France. I have examined
the books relative to the Rue Monceau: during seven years
and I made a copy of the register as to house No. 3. Thei
Count Aguado's name does not appear at all in that hoses

noon of the 6th.
_ _

Antoine andier examined—l am coachman to Mn.
Hope. I was in the service of Mr. Hope. I entered Mn.
Hope's s ' on the 7th of November last. I knew
Alexandre Tallandie. Tallandie has told me be never knew
anything against Mrs. Hope. He has told me he expected
to get something for being a witness against Mrs. Hope.
He said he was to get 28,000 franca from Mr. Hope, and
that if Mrs. Hope would give him more he would serve her.
Tallandie went with me to Mrs. Hope. He asked me so
take hint and announce him to her. Mrs. Hope did not
persuade him not to enter into Mr. Hope's service; on the
contrary, she rather advised him to do so. He said to her
he was going into the service of Mr. Hope. Mrs. Hope
said, " Very well ; take are of my two poor old bones, as
Antoine did."

Cross-examined by Sir F. Theeiger—l have been treated
lately in the sera* manner u usual by Mrs. Hope. I wee
married is 1861. Mrs. Hope gave me a carpet mad a bed, and
something to my wife on my wedding. My wife was conhaed
in Mrs. Hope's apartments is the Rue Peahen" St. Honore.
One of Mn. Hope's sons is my child's godfather. Tal land ie has
entered Mrs. Hope's service. I never saw Mrs. Hope in a
carriage driven by Tallandie, except when he was in the
service of M. Moaner. Mrs. Hope had a carriage with
three seats—one with two seats—and also a large carriage.
There were six horses, and in the winter I bought one. A
perm named Bethune was present when Tallandie spoke
of the 20,000 f.
Reexamined by the Attorney-General—M. Monier is
dead. When I saw Mrs. Hope in the carriage, driven by
Tallandie, it war before he was in the service of the Count
Armed°. I
he wain the service of the Count Aguado. Mr. Hope
often used the carriages and horses. I entered Mr. Hope's
service in September, 1815. I drove the carriage with two
horses. Mrs. Hops was very kind to her people. I left
Mr. Hope's service because I saw things were working up
against Mrs. Hope, on being asked to make a deposition
against her. When Tallandie asked me to take him to
Mrs. Hope he said if he could get 25,000 francs from her,
instead of the 20,0001. from Mr. Hope, he would serve her.
Jacob Beekooa examined by Serjeant Wilkins—l am a
coachman at Paris. I know Alfred Tallandie by eight.
I know Antoine Liandier. I was present at a oonversaticia
between them on the 7th of November at a wino-shop.
Tallandie said, a It is a ease of money with me. I will
arrange with those who pay me most—whoever gives the
men money I will speak for." He said he wished te see
Mrs. Hope—he wanted to draw money. He said to An-
toine he had been promised 20,000 traitor, and Liandier
said " How can you eat such bread ?"
