LAW INTELLIOBNCE.—Feb. 13.

COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH.
(Sittings at Guildhall.--Before Lord Campbell and a
Special Jury.)
Citnt. COL—HOPE V. AGUADO.
(Oentinued from our impression of yesterday.)
The first witness called for the defendant
Wilkins
s
M. Bredard, examined by Mr. S
(through an interpreter) ---I do not speakj English. I
am the proprietor of Frascati's Hotel
the 5t at Havre. The
hotel on h or 6th of
Aguado family came to my
August, 1846. The family consisted of the marchioness,
her son, the count, and the younger son, the Viscount
Onisime. They were accompanied by their doctor, M.
Douviu, and their servants. The marchioness occupied
apartments S 3 and 35, the doctor and the sons 37, 39,
and 40.
To sea. F. Thesiger—l know nothing but from the
books.
By Mr. Serjeant Wilkins—The books are kept by the
clerk. The books contain the entries of 1846, and are
now in the same state as in 1546. I saw those books at
the time these entries were made. The clerks received
the moneys and made their report to him every evening.
No traveller ever quitted the hotel without my exa-
mining the accounts with this book. [The hotel book
was placed in his hands.] This book remained in the
office of the clerk. 'Whenever the clerk informed me of
the departure of any one, I went and inspected this
book personally. It sometimes happens that lam in
the country, and on my return the next day I examine
the- accounts. This account (of the Aguado's) has not
been initialed by me, but by my clerk. It was exa-
mined by me at the moment of departure.
By Sir F. Thesiger.—The family of the Aguados re-
mained at the hotel a month. Their accounts were
settled every week or fortnight. I examined the books
each time they paid. There is not any part of the ac-
counts of the Aguados with my initials. The Aguado
family occupied :33 and 35 ; the doctor and the young
people occupied 37, 39, and 40.
Sir F. Thesiger then objected that the book could not
be put in evidence, and
Lord Campbell held that the witness could not
refer to it.
Examination continued.—l can remember that the
Aguado family occupied the rooms I have mentioned ;
the doctor and the young people occupied 37, 39, and 40.
The count occupied the one in the middle. Mrs. Hope
occupied 106. She occupied three rooms, a sitting-room
and two bed-rooms. She had with her a little boy, who
was a cripple. No. 122 is in the little Frascati. When
the Aguado family arrived, Prince Paul of Wurtemburg
occupied No. 122. The Aguado family did not occupy
122 at all in 1846 ; Prince Paul left en the 6th or 7th of
Angust. I cannot say who occupied it afterwards. It ap-
peared by the book, as far as I can recollect, it was the
family Averno. The Aguado family occupied the same
apartment after theprince left that they did before. I am
certain no member of the Aguado family occupied 122.
There is a room for balls, assemblies, and a theatre.
That room is opened every evening for the people in the
house to dance in. It is closed at midnight. I remem-
ber the witness Desmaisons being concierge in 1846. It
was her duty to collect the boots and shoes from the
doors. It was no part of her duty to put out the lights.
It was the duty of the floor-cleaner to do that. The
concierge only enters the room to take away the lug-
gage of any ono leaving. The concierge would not go
into the apartment to take away clothes to he
brushed, but only to take them if put outside the
door. My room is ten paces from the bridge. It is
rare that any one is in the passage after midnight.
I never observed any improper familiarity between the
Count Aguado and Mrs. Hope. I remember the
Aguado family coming in 1850, at the end of July or
beginning of August. The marchioness occupied 32
and 35. The hotel was full. It always is at that time.
The count and viscount occupied 102 and 104. The
two rooms communicated. The apartment I occupy
joins these. They did not have the rooms they had
occupied in 1846, because they were already occu-
pied. I remember the count fitting up a room for
photography. It was the ante-chamber to 102. Part
of the apparatus still remains there. Mrs. Hope arrived
there sometime at the end of July, and remained
there a short time. She engaged her apartments. (A
letter was shown him.) This is a letter I wrote to Mrs.
Hope in reply to one from her engaging the apartments.
The bathing establishment forms part of the hotel. It
was under my direction. There are very strict regula-
tions with regard to the bathing. There is a sentinel,
and the inspectors of police. I never heard a complaint
of Mrs. Hope bathing at the same time as the count.
In 1852 the Marchioness Aguado occupied the same
apartment. The count occupied apartments on the se-
cond floor, 117, 119, and 121. His bed-room was a
double-bedded room. I believe the two brothers slept
in the same room. Mrs. Hope occupied a room on the
second floor also, No. 109. That was not the apart-
ment she occnpied when she first came. A person had
died in the apartment she first occupied, and she asked
t) have it changed.
Cross-examined by Sir F. Thesiger—My hotel is much
occupied in the season. My attention was first called to
this matter about three or four months since. I recall
these matters by my memory and my book. I saw those
things in 1846 in the first place. I let the apartments
and I made visits to the room. My visits were in the
sitting-room. When an apartment is engaged by letter
I know the number. If not by correspondence, 1 get
an account verbally from the person in the hotel who
has the management of the hotel. The family arrived
the day after Prince Paul left. I cannot tell who occu-
pied Us rooms before he cam'. I have examined the
register with the count. I had no reason to examine
it before. Madame Hope arrived a day or two be-
fore the Aguado family in 1846. I believe the book
will toll. We have a person on purpose to take letters
and parcels to the apartments. The conci -roe would
not take them. Madame Hope remained nearly a month
after the Aguado family left. No. 122 was occupied
by the family Averno atter the Aguado's left. lam cer-
tain they took it after the Prince left. The other cham-
bers they occupied were 124, 126, and 128. There are
even numbers on one side, and odd on the other. My
apartment was on the same floor as the bridge. The
entry to 102 was in one line, and 104 in another. You
turn a corner. Desmaieons is living at Havre.
Examined by Mr. Serjeant Wilktn.s—l last saw her
last season. For the season apartments are usually en-
gaged by letter. Mr. Hart came to me at Havre about
a week ago. I had an interview with Mr. Hart. I
also saw the defendant's attorney three weeks or a month
ago.
The Viscount Aguado, examined by the Attorney-
General.—l am the brother of the defendant. I remem-
ber going to Havre with my mother and brother in 18-16.
I do not remember the number of the rooms we occu-
pied, but Ido the position. My brother had a room
by the side of my mother. I remember the rooms
occupied by Mrs. Hope. My brother did not occupy
a room in the same part of the hotel as Mrs. Hops.
He occupied one near to me, and near to my mother,
and no other. I was at Havre again in 1850,
with my mother and brother. I occupied 104, and my
brother 102 ; the apartments we had occupied in 1846
were occupied. I remember the rooms occupied by Mrs.
Hope ; they were the same she occupied in 1846. Mrs.
Hope never came into the room 104 in 1850 in the night.
There was a door between No. 102 and No. 104 ; it was
always open. Mrs. Hope never passed through my
room into my brother's room. In 1852 we occupied
rooms on the second floor. My brother and I occupied
one room with two beds. From 1846 to '1852 I was
constantly with my brother. I never knew of my bro-
ther occupying a room in the Rue -Monceau. I hired an
apartment in the Rue la Borenre. I was in the habit
of receiving a lady there. My brother never received
Mrs. Hope there. No one knew I ha I the apartment.
I never told my brother. Ido not understand how it
became known now. My brother lives in the Place
Vendome, Paris. I and my brother lived there with
my eldest brother the marquis. He is married, and
has a family. He did not live in the Place Vendome ;
his children came there. Mrs. Hope, Mr. Hope, and his
children came to play with the children of the marquis.
Cross-examined by Sir F. Thesiger.----In 1846 my bro-
ther was often at Mrs. Hope's, and Mrs. Hope came to
us when we were at Havre. I cannot remember whether
she came before us or not. I cannot remember the
number of any of the rooms my brother occupied.

Mme. Andrin did not come to Frascati's with Me in

1850. Ido not remember seeing her there i R. 50
-at, sue came to us. Cer-
Pagily,te thereT Often without me, and I without
him. I went often to the house in the Rue la Bordere.
I was often accompanied by a person—a female—that is
my affair. I went in a carriage. I sent the coachman
away. Ido not remember his name. It was my own
carriage—a brougham. The person who accompanied
me went in the carriage with me. I remember the
brougham of my brother driven by Tallandia. He never
drove me to the Rue la Borate. My brother never was
there. I do not know tile Rue de Monceau. M. Bredard
came to see my brother in Paris last week, in the Place
vuudeme. He did not sleep there.
• Re-examined by the Attorney-General--The house in
the Rue la Berdere was No. 20. I had one key ; the
concierge had the other.

I
Lave been family physician to the Aguado s since
have been in the habit of travelling with them up to 1,43
In 1846 I was with the family Aguado. In August I went
with the family to Havre, and left with them. The
count's chamber adjoined mine. The viscount's joined
on the left. Ido not remember the number, but Ido
the part of the house. [The witness here pointed out
37, 39, and 41, on a plan.] Mrs. Hope's apartment was
at the opposite corner. I never saw any improper cell-
duct between the count and Mrs. Hope. I went with
the count to Italy in 1848. The marquis and mar-
chioness were also there. This is the passport of the
journey (produced). The family left Paris on -the 31st
July or Ist August. We went to an estate of the
count's, remained there a little time, and then to Mar-

seilles. We stayed there two or three days, and then
went to Leghorn and Florence. We stayed there up
to the 20th October. The passport was vised at
Florence. We returned by way of Genoa. When we
arrived at Paris the family stayed until November,
and then went to Brussels. I did not go with them,
While we were travelling I did not leave them a
single day. The count's valet, Davenue, was with us.
The count had neuralgic pains in his face. He has been
troubled with it very frequently. It is a family com-
plaint. The elder brother is very ill—quite unable to
come over here. This is the passport of the mother for
the journey [put in].
Cross-examined by Sir F. Thesiger—l obtained my
passport in Paris. I first came to England with it. I
took it in the month of May. There are two vises for
Boulogne en the face of the passport, and one of the
arrivals in Paris in November. The two to Boulogne
are in May, 1848, and 26th June, 1848. I first saw
Mrs. Hope with the Aguado family, but it was at Havre
I first made her acquaintance. The eldest child of Mrs.
Hope was ill, and I was called in to take charge of it.
Afterwards I became the physician of the Hope family,
and was paid by a fixed salary. Ido not recollect Mrs.
Hope being in France in 1848. I never travelled with
her. I never stopped at Boulogne. I only passed
through. I W&3 twice in England that year. I only
stayed a few days each time. I was showed to the
witness Ann Rance the other day as Dr. Dauvin. I saw
the Aguado family in 1848 at Brussels. I was not with
them. When we were travelling in Italy there were the
marquise (the mother), the marquis (the son) and the
count. The marquis remained at Florence.
By the Attorney-General—There were servants be-
sides. I did not come to London in 1843. I came over
with the Count Aguado in 1848, when he came to take
apartment at Folkestone for his mother. He did not re-
main at Folkestone. .

Loddis—l am a courier. I made a voyage from
Paris to Florence in 1843 with the Aguado family, and
returned. The count was with them. He had his car-
riage with him. It was embarked at Marseilles. I had
to manage the details of the journey. [A paper was
shown to the witness.] This paper is the permit for the
embarkation of the carriage at Marseilles. It bears the
mark of the Custom House [put in and read]. The date
is the 7th of August, 1848. We went by sea to Leg-
horn. We returned to Paris on the 2d of November.
Joseph Davenue—l am in the service of the Count
Aguado. I have been so 22 years. I have gone with him
everywhere. I was with him at Havre in 1848. I re-
member the position of the rooms. I remember Mrs.
Hope being there. Her rooms were on the opposite side
of the hotel ; that was so the whole time we were there.
I went with the count to Italy in 1843. We went at the
eni of July. There was madame la marquise, the count,
and his eldest brother. We stayed at the count's estate
four days, and then went to Marseilles, stayed there
two or three days, and then went to Leghorn, and then
to Florence. They stayed there more than two months,
and then returned to Paris. We arrived at the end of
October. I remember the election of the President ; it
was after that. We remained in Paris. We were in
Brussels in December. I was at Havre is 1850 and
1852. I never saw any improper conduct between my
master and Mrs. Hope. I remember the rooms our
family occupied in 1850. I was always attending on my
master. In 1851 I went to London with the count, as
his coachman ; Charles Colin also came with him. We
stayed at the Brunswick Hotel. A friend of the count
remained with him some days. It was in June. We
left in June—the count, and Colin, and Countde Thorny,
whom we met at the station. We went to the Pavilion
at Folkestone. We stayed there three or four days.
We arrived there a little before night. The sea was very
rough, and we waited until it was better. The count
had a neuralgic pain in the head. He had that often. I
slept in the count's room each night we were at Folke-
stone. I did so in order to attend on the count, as he
was ill. Whenever he has these pains in the head lam
obliged to remain with him. He suffers much. I apply
cold lotions, and wet bandages to his face. I laid down
on a bed sometimes, and sometimes on a chair. On no
occasion did Mrs. Hope come into the count's room. I
never f a,v the count in Mrs. Hope's room, or Mrs. Hope
in the count's room at Folkestone, or anywhere else in
the bed-room. I remember the porter coining to call
the count the morning we left. I was in the chamber
of the count. I did up the boxes, and informed the count
that the sea was smooth, and we left. I know the room
Colin had. I had a room opposite. I did notsleep there
at all. I never saw the door of the count's room leading
into Mrs. Hope's room open. I assisted in removing the
boxes of Mrs. Hope. I entered her room by the door in
the co: ridor.

Cross-examined by Sir F. Thesiger.—l have not my
passport of the journey to Italy. I take a fresh passport
every year and leave the old one. I have not seen the
passport of 1848 since 1849. The count takes a new
one also every year. Ido not know what he does with
the old ones. I was with my master at Folkestone in
1848, at the Pavilion Hotel. I remember being there
when my master was very often at Mrs. Kitchener's. I
never took my master's clothes there to dress for dinner.
He used to dress at the hotel. He dined at the
and sometimes out. Ido not know Mrs. Kitchener's
house ; I never was at Mrs. Kitchener's. I know
Young. Ido not know Ann Murray (now Mrs. Rance).
Ido not recollecs Young coming over to Boulogne. I
do not remember seeing him when -we were at the
Marine Hotel. I have made many voyages across. I
do not remember going over to Boulogne from Dover
with my master and Young in 1848. I never crossed
with Young. I never saw Young at the Marine Hotel
at Boulogne. I never crossed with my master from
Boulogne to Dover. My master has been troubled with
neuralgia since be was a child. The attacks are violent
and frequent ; it is in his blood. I always attend him
when he has these attacks. When we went to Boulogne
I did not go at once to No. 58 with my master. I did
not see the cliam!sermaid speak to him. I looked out
for a room for my master. I was shown it by the cham-
bermaid. It was the same room he afterwards slept in.
chose ;t and afterwards showed it to the count. It was
light, so that I could see it ; it was daylight. My master
was suffering much from neuralgia when we arrived. I
cannot remember if my mater went to bed early ; it is
so far back . We dined at the hotel. 1 wait upon the
count when he goes to his room. My matter was in the
saloon for a time ; he then went up-stairs, saw the room
I had chosen, and approved of it. I did not undress
any night I was there. The neuralgia lasted till the
count returned to Paris. He went out while he was
there to see the sea. I do not remember whether he
went out after dinner. While I was there sometimes
I lay down on the bed, sometimes in the chair. I
was disturbed almost constantly. I was applyieg cold
water and eau de Cologne. The door was fastened
that led into the next room. There was a bed in
front of it. The position of the bed was not altered
during the time we were there. It remained in the same
position until we left. It was never moved. When I
went into Mrs. Hope's room, No. 59, to remove the
boxes, I went through the corridor. We did not at-
tempt to move the bed. I know the head porter. I
did not know his name. I was in the room when the
porter called my master the day we left. The count did
not go out to look at the sea before he was dressed. The
door leading.from the count's room to the adjoining one
was never opened while we were there. I knew the
adjoining room was Mrs. Hope's. I had no conversa-
tion with the head porter the morning we left. I have
made an affidavit in this matter.

Did you swear in that affidavit that the door was
never opened during the time you were there, except on
the morning when you left, when it was opened by the
servant for you to go in and assist in removing Mrs.
Hope's boxes ?—I might have made that mistake.
Re-examined by the Attorney-General—l have passed
ba.,Awards and forwards from France to England with
the count many times. I have been at Dover several
times in corning from France, but never from Boulogne.
I never saw Young come and call up the count in the
night at Boulogne.
Loddis, recalled (a bill was shown him)—This is a bill
I paid at Florence. I got money in September to
pay it.

- It being now 6 o'clock, the Court adjourned until to-
morrow morning.
