RE-EXAMINATION OF K. BERNARD.

The case of H. Simon Bernard, the French refuges,
who was remanded from Monday week on the charge of
conspiring to ammidaate the Emperor Napoleon 111., having
been fixed for yesterday, the oourt was beset from its opening
at 10 0',.1.41 by persons anxious to catch a sight of the pri-
soner. The majority of them visitors received the informs-
tkat that the case yam appointed to bo hard at three o'clock
with evident diasatidection. The arrangement, however, was
ultimately mailed, and for the convenience of Mr. Sleigh,
the defendant's counsel, the cue vas taken at half-past two
o'ciock.—The depositions taken at the last examination were
road over.

The lees peened appeared on both Bids—Mr. Bodkin, foe
the prosecution ; and Mr. Sleigh, instructed by Mr. M.
Leverson and Mr. Sheen, solicitors, for the defence.
Chevalier Francois &lien, who, at the last examination,
stated that a dagger wee found on Pierrl, now produced It.
It append to be new. He also produced a piece of oilcloth
which he had received from Madera/ Outrequin ; also two
cases of pistols seized by the pdice, but he was not present
at the seizure. He brought all these things from the Im-
perial Court at Paris.
Croes-examined—Had been to Paris since the last exami-
nation, and brought these things over.

Jean Antoine Leopold Fibre sworn-1 ace an inspector of
French police. I was in the street before the Open-house
when the attack was made on the Emperor, and heard three
explosions near the Ec3peror's carriage when he arrived there.
I observed persons who were wounded by the expiation. I
saw about ten persons wounded, one of whom I noticed par-
ticularly.
Mr. Sleigh objected to evidence being given of the acts in
Paris without any statement even that defendant was con-
nected with those acts. This was not evidence of a con-
spiracy in England.

Mr. Jardine raid the Bret thing was to prove an act don*
in l'aris on the 14th January ; the nest thing is to connect
him with it.

Mr. Bodkin said the charge was that of conspiracy to
assassinate the Emperor. tie was now proving the attempt,
and should afterwards prove defendant's connexion with It.
Witness continued —The man I saw wounded fell deed.
Pisan Ferdinand Ouirsquin—l reside at 277, Rue St.
Deals, at Pule. I know the prisoner very well. lam •
aoatmission agent in silk. I first saw him in the month of
October, 1154, when I met him at the Cafi &dam. I was
speaking to him about • dye for silk. The prisoner then
introduced himself to me, and said he was acquainted
with dyeing silk, and knew • particular dye, as he was a
chemist. He offered to make a trial of it. That wee the owe-
mweesamat of our acquaintance In London. I remained in
Leos at that time eight or ten days, and saw the prisoner
n•ely every day at the Cafe Suisse. I then re-
turned to Paris. I received letters from him on the subject

mised dins weeks Sr • month. I again came to London In

Me. ■elph oijsuled to the reading of the letter, which,
bovine, was coomiyissi.

flersvid objeotkwo were raised by Mr. 81eigh as to the
form in which the whore should be interrogated as to the
handwriting of the letter. At length it was put thus : In
whose handwriting do you believe the letter to bet He an-
swered All makes ins believe that it is in the handwriting
of the yams who signed it. It was brought to him by Mr.
Thous' Alleop.
Mr. Sleigh objected to the letter being read, and said that
if Ws worship reed the letter he would see the ground of the
objection. There was no proof of writing.
Mr. Jardine said he saw no reason why the letter should
Ma le read.

Mr. Sleigh—Then I am entitled to cross-examine him u
to kis knowledge of the handwriting.
r Mr. Jardine—Certainly.
Mr. Sleigh cross•eiamined this witness, who maid—l have
man the person writs, but u he was engaged in private cor-
respondence I could not get near enough to see his writing,
we did I pay sufficient attention to recognise it. (The letter
war then read. It introduced a Mr. Alleop to the witness as
an Englishman, who, though he did not like to be doped,
war not niggard or economical, and who spoke French like a
native.) Witness continued—l went to a French prison with
the otti.;er Estiau,.s here I saw AUsop.
. _ _

Ch. Reties recalled—l took M. Outrequin to the prison
where Orsini wee confined, and pointed out Orsini to him.
M. Ontreqnin then produced another letter received after-
wards, in the same handwriting, as be believed, stating
that that writer was about to conaign to him a pair of m•g-
nifioent revolvers. That was the Bret be had heard about
pistols from bUn. Afterwards received another letter stating
that he consigned a pair of pistols, which he would `• gam-
mon- Allsop to buy, and that Allsop would call for them
and pay for the caniage, as the clerk recommended him not
to prepay the parcel. The letter also mentioned that then
was • sample of a material distilled from tar, for which a
chemist would send. The pistols were valued at IW. or IL
I afterwards received • parcel containing two came, one pistol
in each. The person whom I knew as Alleop called for
that parcel the mane day, and said he came for the
pistol■. He examined them. Next day he called again, and
took one box containing one pistol with the things belonging
to it. I remember being at home on the Sunday next before
the day of the attempt on the Emperor. Allsop called that
morning, and I accompuded him to an hotel. I left him at
the door. It was the Hotel de France et Champagne. Allsop
had previously told me that he hoped to get a friend, a
Osman, named Pierey, to take the two boxes. I once saw
• person of the name (previously) at Allrop's lodgings,
10, Roe Idonthabor. In the course of that Sunday I found
that the second box and pistol had been taken away from my
honer. I was repaid by Allsop for this carriage of the
pistol. 15f. 6.5 e., and also, 20f. or 25f. for the man " pour
bolts" (to drink).

The evidence being read over to the witness, some difficulty
arose se to the proper description of the material enclosed
with the pistols, which witness persisted in calling "
ehar-
bon" (cosi), and which had been rendered prat." The
queitioe wee settled by the production of the sample. It
was a dark irregular mum, remembling the refuse of gas welts.
Hs gm she qsasiassi as to how he knew the spelling
of Pierri's saws, said he odd that Pierri had written it down
the day ha called for the pistol. The sample of tar wee never
sent to the chewier. It wee mot fur when he was out, but
his wife, not knowing where to find it, the person went away
without it.

Cross-tiamlned—lt woo addressed to M. Cavantoo, Bar-
rier., Fontainebleaa.:Ha bad wads ao *atria about such a
perlloll.

_
Chevalier Estien (to Mr. Sleigh)—Did not know M.
Cave Mon. Never heard the name. Did not know that he
purified the gas for all the companies In Paris.

Mr. King recalled—The covering now produced is that on
the parcel I spoke at is my former evidence. It bears the
seal of the company. (The oiled side of the material, on
which there was a °clouted pattern, had evidently been
folded Inside, the direction and seal being on the plain side,
which presented the appearance of coarse rough canvas.)
Crumzemined—Never had any talk about Frenah affairs
with prisoner, except that day. Never heard any foreigner
nee the expression, " When the Emperor returns to England
I shall go bock to France." Defendant asked so anxiously
about the trains and packets, that I really thought he was
going back. I need the seal of t►e company becatue the
parcel wu nearly undone, and I sealed it more securely.
Madame Melanie Julie Clementine Outrequin Heran—l am
the wife of the witness, M. Outrequin. I know a pence

tar, 1857. I have also seen a person of the name of Hodge,
an Englishman. They came together to our house. Mr.

A. &glen recalled—l task last witness to see a person in
prison. It was Orsini.
M. Monutd, 10, Rue Monthabor— In November last a per-
son named Allsop lodged with me. I hays seen him in
in. M. Paden took the witness to the prison.. The per-
son be saw and called Alleop was Orsini. When he came
torMulth me the first time ho brought his passport, which
I(The pompon was dated MI, and had been rigid by the
Prussian amssador in London.)
Witness continued—l asked Allsop for his passport in
order to get it entered on the police register.
Mr. Bodkin said the passport was granted to the real
Thomas Allsop, the person for whom a reward of 2001. had
been offered, and Orsini had travelled with it under that
name.

The witnise continued—On the day of the attempt Allsop
went out with three others shoat six or seven o'clock, and
returned in a cab about nine. He was wounded and bleed-
ing. At about three in the morning he was arrested by the
polio*. One of the men was his servant Gomez ; another
wee named Silva. Allsop kept a horse. The stable was in
sun y house.
Mr. Bodkin applied for a further remand.
Mr. Sleigh should not oppose the hound. The learned
counsel, however, applied tor bail in an energetic speech,
calling on the magistrate to treat the defendant as if he were
en Englishman, and not to be influenced by fear of a foreign
power. (Great applause in court.)
Mr. Jardine refused the application, and defendant was
reminded.

During the proceedings a vast crowd of persons assembled
in front of the court, and a few skirmishes took place between
UlllOl and the police, without however creating a demon-
stration.

At twenty minutes to 5, the cue being adjourned, Sir
Richard Mayne, with the various foreign witnesses and gen-
tlemen interested in the inquiry, left the court.
