THE JBUFOBBII TRIAL.

The Court of Amiss, of the Ettre resumed the
above trial on Wednesday. The Interest it ezdted wag
pester, If possible, than en preceding days. Several wit-
MON were examined, their evidence relating chiefly to the
nature of the reports in circulation respecting 0 Allot and
Mdlle. Blanche.
A tradesman named Criquebreof deposed that he had been
very intimate with (Willa, and thought him a frank, honest
fellow; but he was of very light character, and talked in an
extravagant way. Ouillot had told him that he was making
love to Mdlle. Laurence, but that she repelled him, and
threatened to tell about him. Ouillot had subsequently in-
teemed him that he was making love to Mdlle. Blanche, and
he gave him an aocount ofhis relations with her. Ile wee scow
tonted, he said, to go into the orangery and to stand on a
chair to talk with Mdlle. Blanche, and he described the sig-
nals which he made to get her to come to the rendezvous.
Mdlle. Laurence suspected something, and that circumstance
rendered the meetings difficult.
President, to the witness—You meet give us the details
which you gave to the examining magistrate.
Witness—Well, °ulna told me that things between him
and Mdlle. Blanche commenced by a preemie of the hand, to
which she responded, and that a rendezvous was then agreed
on. To that rendezvous she came with a lighted candle.
" You little fool " mid Onillot, " how can you think of
coming with a light ?" and he blew out the candle. Ouillot
said that he obtained a second rendezvous some days after ;
they stood at the window • long time kissing each
other. He corresponded with her. I told him that
be was wrong in putting names to hie letters,
and he said that be would not again do so. Ouillet
asserted he once slipped • letter into a skein of green
worsted and banded it to Blanche. In returning, he noticed
that she wee cold towards him, and he said to witness, "I
wager that little Blanche has been to confession, and that
the priest has been lecturing her:" And ho afterwards said
that be had asked Blanche If such had not been the case, and
she had answered in the affirmative. Ouillot wee emus-
' lowed to throw little pieces of wood at the windows of
Blanche to let her know ,that he was outside. Once,
in climbing upp to the window, he saw her scud Mdlle. Lau-
reate undraesing In presence of Mme. de Jeufome, and he
=rat the window. Madame de Jeufuese heard the tap,
uined round. After awhile he again tapped, and Mme.
de Jeerers turned round sharply, but saw nothing. One
night Goillet mane to me in a violent mission, and related
that, Madame de Jenfothe being absent, be was that night to
have been admitted to the chamber of Mdlle. Blanche, and
that Blanche had taken the precaution of oiling the hinge* of
llai door, but that, just as he wee about to enter, Madame de
Inform had returned home. Witness added that he fully
believed all that Ouillot had told him.
Another witness, named Augnetin, deposed that ()millet
had laid him of his relations with Mdlle. Blanche, that he
was socuetomed to meet her in the grounds of the chateau,
that one night in order net to be heard she had come out
without her showy and that she had, after some hesitation,
ccessesited to receive him in her chamber. Witness added
that Gallia knew that be was In danger of being fired
at In going into the grounds, and that be took his servant
with him to convey him home in the event of his being
wounded.
Sergeant Recede of the 7th Hussars. deposed that he
knew that °millet 'had c`andestine meetings at night with
Mae. Blanche, and that more than once he had been in the
grounds of the chateau when they were together ; one night
he and Ouillot hd been chased by the domestics. She had
continued her Wilgus even slier the rupture of the two
families
Several other eritnesees deposed to similar declarations
having been made to them by Shallot.
The court then adjourned.

In the mane of the proceedings the following curious
letters were read
"From M. Ernest de 'enrolee (one of the prisoners), to
M. E. °MUM (the deceased.)
Parie, March, 1867.
have only jest learned that them am ghosts of
wolves at Infoese. As I hate these kind of lasea=e;
dally because they am, in my opinion, cowards to
lag themselves to women alone, I write to inform you that I
have given orders to fire upon them, promieiog a handsome
reward to anybody who may hit one. I meet add that
when I have to do penionally with scoundrels such as you
know of, I feel a particular pleasure in pulling their ears If
they do not limp quiet. Please to profit by this warning. I
will dimming with say written answer."
This letter was opened by Madame Otaillot, who, fearing
that If her husband saw It there would be a duel, sent it
secretly to Me brother, M. Paul °office, who thereupon
wrote as follows to M. Ernest de Jeufosee
Pent, March 18, 1857.
" Bir,—By szt accident, happy for all of us, my brother
did not receive your letter, and it has fallen into my hands.
It is difficult to believe that such a letter can have been
written by a man of good birth, and, as one should have
thought, of good breeding. What violent passion can have
blinded you, and hurried you on to on act at which, on cool
reflection, you must blush I However much in the wrong my
brother may be—you see that I am generous—however
In the wrong he may be, either as regards yourself or your
family, you ma have ao right to send him such sn hope-
threat letter. I, sir, am not of noble birth, but I hope I
possess noble sentiments, which are better than any other
nobility, whatever its coat of arms, and although it may trace
bark to the Crusades. If I thought my honour in-
sulted, and I am not aware that yours is, I
should go openly, and in the face of day, to demand
explanations from the person of whom I complained, and not
have recourse to miserable subterfuges Your father, sir,
whose courage sad gentlemanly character ware proverbial in
all this country, would have acted ha the same way; it
would never have occurred to him to talk about pulling sera
to a person against whom he had cause of oompleint. Your
letter, sir, contains threats which are to me proof of a design
to lie in welt to commit a murder, for which yon would be
liable to be tried at the seem court. I therefore warn you
that if anything happens to my brother I shall hold you
answerable, and I shall deposit your letter at the parquet of
the Promote Imperial, who will seek out and punish this
violemoe.—l have the honour, &c.,

" CILLOT."
