CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT.

(Before Mr. Jostles Byles.)
Giorgio Bello Buoito, 34, an Italian, described as a slice.
looker, was charged with maliciously sad feloniously send-
ing • 'Atte to Count Albert Maffei, demaeding money with
10001101 a.
The Indictment also contained • count Aught" the mi.
sonar with demanding money of Pins Malta ,and 01'
members of the Italian Benevoleat Society, with the like
messecies.
Mr. Montague Williams conducted the prosecution, is.
denoted by r. Angier, of Johnotreet, Bedfosd.mw, the
solicitor to the Italian Embassy ; the prisoner was unde-
fended, and when the case was called on he requested to be
allowed to have the assistance of an interpreter, and the
trial was adjourned for a short time, in order that the atten-
dee*, of an interpreter might be obtained. A pethenan
named Ortelli shortly afterwards came to the court,
and was sworn to sot se interpreter, bet the prisoner
them
al to him on the ground that he was a member of
the Italian Benevolent Society. The leanied judge, bow.
ever, told the prisoner that this was not • valid objecitthe,
sad the trial mast proceed.
Mr. M. Williams, in opening the ease to the jure, maid
that the prisoner was an Italian, and the charge evilest
him wee that of sending a letter containing threat' and do-
him
money, without reasonable and probable cease.
The prisoner was is bad einnunstsocies, and it appeared
that be had applied to the prosecutor, who was We prin-
cipal secretary to the Italian legation, sod bed been referred
by him to • society called the Italian Bseevolest Society,
which was instituted for the purpose of relieving dist:mind
and they bad given semitones to the prisoner on
several meadow. Is consequence of some felon:natio.
that earns to their knowledge, they declined to do so
any longer. The prisoner epos this applied to the meth-
cuter, Count Maffei, and he referred him back to the so-
ciety, but they still refused to do any more for him, and be
then wrote the letter which was the foundation of the pre-
sent charge. It was dated the 24th of May, and went
into • detail of the prisooer's eireamstathes, and stated
that his daughter had just died for want of the uses'.
series of life, and that the Italie& Society would mot do
anything for him, and he had been unable to obtain the
assistance of their physician, because be could not pay Ma.
The letter also contained the following • "
soy blood
Is
the blood of my dapdhtnr, who di."elZa
Blood for blood. It this letter shall see
the desired effect, I will go to the Italian Society sod take
vengeance for the blood of my daughter. I have ewers to
lake jostioe myself. It is bed to die by being hung, but to
die for want of proper necesserice—to die of starvation—is
worse. Between the two I have chosen the milder ors.
Hoping that the legation will see that justice is done for
sae, I am yours obediently, Gamow B1LLO." The
learned counsel went on to say th
it this letter was
addressed to Count Maffei, and although t did sot costae'
aa explicit threat to commit the crime of murder, the law
did sot require that this should be done, and it was for
the jury to infer what wee the intentios of the writer of
mob a latter. If, however, there should be say doubt apes
this point, it appeared to him that the ether counts in the
indictment which charged the primmer with the anew of
demanding money with menaces from Father Melia, the
principal almoner of the Italian Benevolent Society,
would be clearly established against the prisoner.
Count Albert Maffei was then examined. He said—l re-
side at No. 49, Grosvenor-street, and 1 am the
to the Italian Legation. I know the prisoner
sir:an le used frequently to oome to the Italian Beablesl
to ask for mediate:los. The letter that has bees seal wee
hooded to me by the usher of the Legation on the !Oh el
May, the day on which the letter bears date. Whoa the
priemer applied to the Embassy for assistance I referred
him to the Delimit Benevolent Society.
In answer to questions put by thepriaoser, Cloud
Maffei said that he had received other lefties from the
Signor John Luciano, the secretary to the Balks Bene-
volent Society, proved that he bad frequently men the pri-
soner write, sod he believed that the letter in question wee
in his handwriting.
This wither was cross-examined by the prisoner at oar
thimble keel, but the only material facts that were
elicited were that the prisoner appeared to be is very
distressed cireumetances, and that upon one occasion, whoa
he went to take him ten shillisgs from the society, out of
his daughters appeared to have just died, and the prisoner's
wife and another child were very. ill It appeared that there
WY also a certificate from a medical man, to the effect that
the prisoner's daughter bed died is convulsions,: and that
the writer was attending his wife and daughter, who ap-
peared to be in went of the necessaries of life. The witness
said that the prisoner had several times applied to the
Italian Society for relief, and he did not remember that
they had on any omission ordered him to be turned out of
the room when be asked for relief.
The prisoner, when celled upon to answer the charge,
made • long speech in broken English to the jury. It was
very difficult to understand precisely what he said, but the
effect of his direr appeared to be that the observations
in the letter did not amount to • threat of committing
violence or murder, as was suggested by the indictment.
He declared that the expression ' blood foe blood merely
alluded to his daughter as being flesh of his dash end
blood of his blood, and that it wan not intended to apply
either to Count Maffei or any member of the Italian
Benevolent Society.
Mr. Justice Bytes, having summing up,
The jury, after some deliberation, acquitted the pri-
weer upon the meets of the indictment charging him with
threatening to murder, but convicted him of media' •
threatening letter, demanding money with inensom from
Father Mesa and the members of the Italian Nameless

Society.
Mr. Williams said there were other indictments splint
the prisoner, but he did not consider it aeciestary to proceed
with them. Dr. Melia would, however, inform him imitate
that the society, of which he was the prizeipal officer, had
relieved the prisoner a great many times, sad bed done all
they possibly could for him.
Mr. Justice Byles then addressed the prisoner, and said
that the jury had acquitted him of the charge of emodiag a
letter tbreatenieg to murder Count Maffei, but had found
him guilty of sendleg a letter demanding mosey with
menaces of the members of the Benevolent Society. It
was with great pain that be felt called upon to pun the
sentence he was about to do, because be believed that
the primmer was in great misery and distress at the time
the act was committed. This, however, could not be token
so any mitigation for such an awe as seeding threatening
letters, and no man could live with comfort or safety if
such an offence mould be oommitted with impunity. He
thee ientenesd the prisoner to 6ve yews' penal servitude.
The primmer, who had exhibited great deal of exei
meet during during the trial, when the seetenos was pronounced
exclsimed—" It is a very hard—it is almost • cruel
sentence."
He was thee removed from the bar.
Join Lovelace, 43, shoemaker, was charged with mali-
ciously and feloakivoy wounding Mary Ann Lovelies with
intent to murder her.
Mr. F. H. Lewis conducted the prosecutioa.
I The facia of this ease will be fresh in the recollection
oI
our reeders, as the prisoner was oaly very recently coin
-
milled foe trial.
The jury, after a long deliberation, found the prisoner
guilty of ualsefelly wounding.
There wise another indictment against the prisoner, char,-
leg him with having feloniously attempted to destroy his
own life, which was not proceeded with.
Mr. Justice Bylea, in passing poetises upon the prisoner,
said that the jury, in convicting him of the sniper offence,
had no doubt taken into coasiderstios the nine of his
ads& and the other circumetioess connected with the sot
The °Moos, however, wee pee of a very glorious character,

olivine the lathe property, well knowing it to have bons
