THE LYONS TRIALS.

TENTH DAY.
Although Friday was a fete day, the court tui-
*stabled, and the accused were placed at the bar. Thera
was a large number of spectators on the quays near the
court, but the greatest calm prevailed.
Tho accused Satire, advocate of Dignc, was interrogated.
He denied that he had taken part in a plot which was to
have broken out in the southern departments. Ile had
not belonged to any secret society at Digne ; in that town •
he had not been able to find printers and workmen for
his newspaper; how then was it possible that he could
; have got up a secret soeitty Ile had known Gent as
member of the Constituent Assembly, and had had
! relations with M. Thourcl. Oa one occasion lie
f (accused) had gone to Thourcl's, and had conversed with
kim and other persons on the excitement which pre-
vailed. He on that occasion dwelt on the necessity of
defending the republic if it were attacked ' • but had not
talked of attacking it. Thourel had said that he was dis-
posed to calm the populations of the south, as their agita-
tions might have serious consequences. He (accused) hail
never belonged to any committee of Paris or Lyons. It
was possible that he had circulated petitions for the repeal
of the electoral law. The letters seized referred to the esta-
blishment of a newspaper. Tho committee of which Thou-
rel had spoken in one of his letters was one of correspon-
' dents, not for an appeal to arms. Longomazino had never
said to him that an early insurrection had been announced
at Lyons. It was possible that in the event of an insurrec-
tion he would have seized the maire and the officers of the
receiver-general at Digne ; but the insurrection was only to
have taken place in case of a coup d VW being attempted
in the letters regions. The "treasury " referred to
in severagl was that of the journal he had esta-

lion of France by the insurgents at Geneva, as a diversion
to the insurrection in the south. Gent afterwards went t.,
M,icon, where he came to an understanding with the
members of the Mountain. When he returned, he repre-
sented to the chiefs of the Carbonari that an insurrection
was imminent. They answered, "It is possible that you are
under such pecuniary embarrassments that you cannot
but we will not allow the Republic to be en ,danger d by nn
adventurous enterprise." Gent went to Geneva, and letters
were addressed to him under the name of " Mare." Tii,
accused Medieval left Ardiiche in the mouth of November tq
ask the mo( d'ordre at Lyons. A congress was subsequently
held in that city. Some of the delegates cane to an under-
standing with Chevassus. It was rtscilvt4 that the direct
government of the people should be ..st
Gent said that the witness in ono of his reports had chartte,l
him with leading a life of pleasure and intrigue. hid he
still maintain that ?
' The witness said that he had meant that he had been
living in a style which his known resources did not justify,
and he thought that he had been enabled to do so by the
weekly payments of members of the party.
Mr. 011ivier, advocate of Froment, Cheva..
sus, and Pctitbon, demanded how the witness had olitain..l
the information, against those accused, contained in his

reports ?
The President observed that it was not likely that a
commissary of police would give up the names of his agents,
Mr. 011ivier then put several questions, for the purp,sc
of showing that his clients had not been cone,rned in
any plot, but had only formed part of a secret political
society.
Jean Baptiste Lombard, employ,: of the Pont+ de Chau,•
sties, deposed that he had belonged to the secret society of
the Nouvelle Montagne, that ho hail been chief in a section
in it, and that he had been charged to orguake societies in
the department of the Var. Ile hail received the weekly
payments of the members, and had paid them over to
low/cite, the treasurer, who, he understood, had remitted
them to Gent. An insurrection was to have broken nut in
the month of July in the Var, but it was put off. The dif-
ferent committees were not in accord on the point. The
signal was to have been given from Lyons. The Nouvelle
Montagne was organised in the month of March,
, 1849. Witness bad made an active propaganda in the
Var, but finding that lie was suspected, he retired front the
society. There was a meeting at Valence, attended by Mares-
j cot, Robert, Bouvier, and Langomsaino. The departments
were at that time organised, and a chief of the movement
was appointed. After the arrest of Gent, the conspirators
felt alarm, and secreted the arms and ammunition they had
collected. Bouvier was chief of the Nouvelle Montagne
in the Basses-Alpes, and Jean Louis was president of the
whole society.
In answer to M. Michel (de Bourges), the witness said
that he had made revelations to the police, because, on his
retiring from the society, the conspirators had threaten.'
Ito take his life. lie, alter some hesitation, admitted that
his mother's name was not Lombard, but Houdin, and that
be had beets condemned to fourteen months' imprisonment
by the Tribunal of Correctional l'olice of Aix for robbery
and violation of tombs in the cemetery.
The public prosecutor remarked that the man was a wit-
ness and not accused, and need not reply to questions of the
kind that had been put.
Gent, Jean Louis, Daum's, and Hobert put questions to
1. tke witness, but they were of no importance.
M. Monitery, a commercial traveller, gave evidence re-
specting the residence of Gent in his house at Lyons.
M. Refinery, central commissaire of police at Lyon', de-
scribed the arrest of Gent in Borers house. He found hint
in the chamber which had been previously occupied by
Mlle. Bore'. Gent expressed regret that his arrest should
cause that of several of his friends. Witness had 'wind a
ppaackage of socialist pamphlets, which had been addressed to
Beliscer, one of the accused.
Lafontaine, captain of gendarmerie at Valence, said
that, on the 30
that, he saw great agitation in the town.
M. Christophe, commissary ot police at Valence, had at
that time seen and spoken to Gent. It was aid that he
bad gone to Valence for political motives. Gent hail spoken
to him about Dupont, a man accused of a political offence
whom he had undertaken to defend.
A woman named Allon, servant of De St. Prix, at
Valence, denied that a bed had been made ia a particular
room in her master's house for Gent on the night of the
29th June. ('fhc indictment, it may be remembered,
charges Gent with having passed that night in a secret eon.
ference with other conspirators ;_ whereas Clog maintains
that he slept at the house of St. l'rix).
M. Leroux, lieutenant of gendarmerie at Gex, deposed
that Grist had gone to Geneva ; that shortly after the re-
fugees had paid their debts, and had announced that they
would shortly return to France. In November it was sail
that an insurrection was about to break out, and that the
signal was to be given by the lighting of tires on the moults

blished.

He had also visited Marseilles, but it was a pleasure trip.
lie had not been a delegate of the Ilautes-Alper in the
secret meeting at Valence; nor had he received a sum of
110 fr. from a secret society to make the journey. lie had,
however, been at Valence. In the course of the prelimi-
nary examination he had, he admitted, always denied that
he had been there; but that was because he had been
told that if he had admitted the visit to that city he would
convict himself.
Paul Mastro, clerk to a notary, declared that lie had
never belonged to any secret society, or been concerned in
any plot. He had only known Gent since the 30th Sep-
tember. lie had been to Macon with his wife, but it was
not tor a political object. The letter found at his house,
and in which he spoke of the necessity of an armed rising,
had been sent to no one. He hail written it in consequence
of the rumours of a coup d'etat being imminent. Gent,'
on his return from Macon, hail told him that nothing
unconstitutional hail been resolved on. Gent wished the
party to decide on what should be done in the event of a
amp &aril being made without the co-operation of the As-
sembly, and of one being made with the co-operation of the
majority of the Assembly. It was only by the newspapers
that he (accused) had learned that the democratic party'
was being organised.
The accused loin, furniture dealer, said he had known'
Gent before he was arrested, though he hail previously de-
nied that. It was he who had ordered the dinner at Macon.
Nothing blameable had been said at that dinner. Nu one
had proposed to send away tho servants.
The Public Prosecutor asked the accused if he had not
said in his interrogatory that one of the principal guests
had risen, and said that the result of the conference was
the propriety of the repeal of the law of the 31st May.
The accused was about to reply, when
Michel (de Bourges) rose and said—Does the public
prosecutor mean to maintain that representatives of the
people were at the dinner at Macon ?
The public prosecutor—l shall see what I have to say
when I shall present my requisitory. (Sensation.)
M. Michel (de Bourges)—l must remark that that will
be rather late. When the trial is nearly over to come and
say—" There was a congress at Macon—this or that was
done—and we accuse the representatives who were pre-
sent," would be, I declare, to despise the usual forms of
criminal justice.
The President—l will not put the question, fur the repre-
sentatives are not in cause.
M. Michel (de Bourge.)—Thank God! You have not
the power to judge us, gentlemen, and I congratulate you
and ourselves also.
The President—Advocate, your language is disrespectful
to the court. We have only to judge the accused at the
bar ; and I am astonished at hearing such words as yours,
after the deference and kindness which I have not
ceased to show the advocates for the defence. (Marks of
assent.)
M. Michel (de Bourgcs)—God forbid, Mr. President,'
that I should disregard your authority, or forget the grati-
nide which we feel for the kind impartiality with which

Now, let me be permitted—
The President—M. Michel, take note of what I say—
neither the representatives who were at Macon nor any
lothers are accused.
M. Michel (de Bourgos)—But read the report ; it says,
ss We are authorised to say that it was intended that an
I insurrection (should break out before 1/142," and it alludes
I to the representatives of the Saone-et-Loire as connected
with it. And yet you, who are the protectors of the law.
think it strange that we, who are representatives of the
people, should protest against such an accusation. I demand
Ithat my question shall be put to the witness.
The President. —I refuse to pat it ; it does not concern
the
case.
The accused, Pierre Mailers], coffee-house-keeper, of ',I
Privas, was then questioned. lie had arrived at Lyons,
from Privas, on 7th November. Ile had been at Valence.'
He went there alone, but met Froment on the steamer, on
his way from Valence to Lyons. It was nut true that he
had been charged with a mission by the agitators of the
Ardeehe. His object in going to Lyons was to attend to
some business affairs. He had not attended a secret meet-
ing at Lyons. The note which contained the names of some
violent democrats, and which had been seized in his house,
hail been picked up by him at his door.
Marion, a miner, said, in answer to the President, that he

tains.
Mr. Leglay, sub-prefect at Gex, said that, after the visit
of Gent to Geneva, great agitation prevailed amongst the
refugees, and that it was said that they, in company with a
great number of foreigners, intended to invade France.
The sub-prefect and lieutenant of gendarmerie at St.
Claude deposed to Gent's visit to Geneva, the agitation
amongst the refugees, the intended invasion of France, also
that au insurrection was spoken of.
Cassan, marble cutter of Marseilles, deposed that he had
had some connection with the Nouvelle Montague. Its cry
of alarm was " Mars! Mars!" Ile had seen Jean Louis at
a club.
Nezanl, formerly sergeant in the 7th Cuirassiers, said he
had deserted into Switzerland; whilst these propositions
were made to him to join a secret society, au insurrection
was spoken of, a large quantity of gunpowder was manu-
factured by the refugees, and they boasted that they would
soon return to France.—The court then adjourned.
