THE TRIAL OF PELIZZIONI.

After the closing of our report on Saturday, the
erarrezamication of the withal* John Mogal was con-
tinued as follows :—My object in going into the bagatelle-
room was to quiet the English. I was aware that they
had bees providing themselves with sticks and propane to
fight us after my brother had struck the lendlord. I saw
the landlord go into the bagatelle room. lam spite rare
of that. I saw him go through the door. I Mies that
the English were preparing to fight the Italians, because
they opened the door and called out to them to come on.
They shut the door afterwards. I knew the prosecutor
Baba. I did not tell him to go teak or he would be
saved like the others. I did not speak to him at all. I
said nothing of the eat. I muss saw him on this eight
except when he was in the bar. lem sure that the prisoner
was not in the basalts room at the time I refer to, but
Mame was there. lam sure that the prisoner was not by
the side of my brother Oregano. I did not see anything
of the prisoner till about five minutes afterward', when the
police were taking him away. I was struck as I was in the
act of entering the room, but the blow did not knock medowu,
but I wee struck to the pound when I got Into the room,
at the other end of it. I should know the men who struck
me if I saw them. I did not see any woman in the room,
neither did I see any woman knocked down. I have seen
my brother this morning, but I wu not more than a few
minutes in his company. We only went a short diets)°,
without our bats, sod the ;a:teener was taken pert of the
distance with us by the police. After we had gone back to
fetch our hate my brother told me that he intended to go
away, in onsequeoce of what had taken place.
Be-examined—When we asked for our bats, Mrs. Shaw
gave us two bats, and we thought they belonged to us.
When the Englishmen opened the door of the bagatelle
room, they called out " Come on, you Italians, we want to
figtilosizi with our fiats."
t Ballantine—What were the exact words they
made use of ?
Witless—They said, "Come here, Italians—fight." (A
laugh.)
Richard W. Cover, one of the constables of the liberty
of Haffros-hill, was then called to prove that he saw Powell,
the constable, lo the Golden Anchor about four o'clock in
the afters= of the 26th of December, sad he left him
there when witness went away.
Pietro Msraszi said—l know the Golden Anchor public-
house, Saffron-hill. I was there on Boxing-day last, and
saw Gngorio, and saw him strike the landlord, who went
away, and Gregor° then went Into the taproom, where the
Italians were dancing, and afterwards to the bagatelle room.
I followed him there. Gregorio's brother John was also
there, and the first (him I saw when I went in was that
they wenstrikiag him, and I was also struck when I got into
the room. As Gregor° was going into the room be threw a
wanes down. I was calling out for help, and so was
Gregorio'• brother, and I saw Gregorio pull out a knife.
When I saw him do this I said, " For God's sake stop, do
not use the knife ;" and Gregorio replied, " You'let me do, or
you will never get out of the room alive." I could not see
whether Gregorio need the knife, because some one caught
me by the eollar and pulled me outside.
Croce-examined— I said at the last trial that the
moment the landlord went towards the Impala
room he was followed by Gregor*. I went to
the bagatelle room because there was a row, end
I thought there was going to be • fight. I went
there became the English " Invited" me to do so. (A
laugh.) Whoa I was examined at the first trial I did not
say anything about my going into the bagatelle room.
Mr. Gifford—Did yes, in point of fact, say • word about
the seem that you profess to describe to-day as having takes
place in the bagatelle room!
Witness—l thick I did say something about it.
The evidence gives by the witness on the former trial was
read, sod it appeared that he did not, upon that occasion,
say anything about Gragorio having stabbed some people in
the bagatelle room, and that be stated that he did not
hear that any one was wounded on the night in question.
Pietro Grasper said—l was at the Golden Aocbor on the
night is question, and remember the disturbance commenc-
ing. I west to the Bordess public house and saw the pri.
weer there, and I made a communication to him, and he
went back to the Golden Anchor with me, but I did not go
inside.
A number of witnesses were then called to speak to the
character of the prisoner, and they all described him N •
remarkably quiet, Inoffensive man.
This closed the case for the prisoner, and the court wee
adjourned for a short time to enable the jury to have some
refreshment.
Mr. Gifted then replied on behalf of the crown.
There was an attempt at applause when the learned coun-
sel rat down, but it was stopped by the officers of the
court.
Baron Chappell having summed up the cane to the jury,
The jury said they should like to retire, and they left the
court at half-past seven o'clock to deliberate.
They were absent about ten minutes, and then again
returned Inv court, and their names were called over.
Mr. Avery, the Clerk of Arraigns, thee called over their
names, and pit the formal questions to them, whether they
had agreed upon their verdict, and whether they found the
prisoner guilty or sot guilty ?
The foreman, in an emphatic tons,—" We find that the
prisoner is Not Guilty."
The instant the verdict was delivered there was a tre-
mendous burst of cheering, end a great number of per-
sons in the court stood up and Maned frantically, at the
same time waving their hats. It was useless to attempt to
put • stop to the proceeding ;' sheriffs, under-sheriffs, and
ushers, were alike powerless to prevent the unseemly pro-
ceeding. When the cheering seemed to lull a little,
it was taken up again and joined in by the crowd outside
the court, and the sum was most extraordinary.
Baron Channel, when he was able to make hie voice
beard, said that such • proceeding wee most improper in •
court of justice, and if any one was pointed out to him as
being concerned in the disturbance he should know how to
deal with him.
Mr. BAWD (in the absence of Serpent Ballanties) then
said that there was another Indictment spina the prisms,
which charged him with wounding Banister, DM he sup-
poled that, after the verdict that had just been returned,
the mussel for the crown would not proceed with it. Hs
therefore applied that a verdict of not guilty should he
takes.
Mr. Beesley said that the Solicitor for the Treasury was
not present at that moment, apd he had no instructions
with reference to this charge.
Me. Ribton said that the prisoner was entitled to be
fried, and if it was intended to go on with the indictment,
the jury who had beard all the facto would be the best
tribunal to dispose of it.
Baron Chaanall said he should certainly not take the
case that night. (A laugh.)
Mr. Beasley, afters short delay, said he would take the
responsibility upon himself, after what had occurred, of not
offering any evidence in support of the charge of wounding
Banister.
The prisoner was then formally given in charge to the
jury upon that indictment, and no evident* being offered,
they again retuned a verdict of Not Guilty, and this was
the signal for another entlinsiaraic burnt of cheers.
A number of paleness shook bands with Mr. Negretti,
and congratulated him epos the result of his benevolent
exertions, and the prisoner was removed from the bar. The
proceedings oa Saturday occupied nearly ten hours.
It is hardly seaman to remind the public' that the pri-
maser is still uoder sates* of death for the murder of
Harrington, and he must, of course, remain I. eostody until
the goverment decide what course shall be tskm. As,
however, it appeared to be admitted on all heads that one
man only was guilty of the whole of the sets of violence
that were committed on this night at the Golden Anch ,or
the peewit verdict is tantamount to his being declared
entirely i11001:011i, so that the natural result would appear
to be that • pardon should be granted him far the offence
of which he at present stands convicted.
