calculate his reaching 31ilan7—Iii seven or eight days.
What time did you understand lie was to remain at Mi-
lan?-1 Resit some papers to }Coital which 1 wished to

to this cause, I ordered him to return before the 3d lust
with these papers.
Was Rastelli instructed by you to go anywhere except
to Aldan i—Novs here except to Aldan : he was to go there
direct.
To the best of your knowledge and belief, have any
other persons been sent away ? I have sward that two
others have gene.
At the time yea resolved to send Rastelli to Italy, did
you inquire us to the probability that any of the wiwrsses
would soon be permitted to depart ? I had made no in-
quiry on the subject.

them ?—Froin Colonel Brown.
Have you got these letters ?—Not upon me.
Have you had any communication from Rastelli ?—I

did nut instruct Rastelli to go to any other place or places
than Milan.
To Lord MORLEY.-1 mentioned at the roreign Oise
that Itasteili was to go to Milian as a courier. It was pre-
viously known to Lord Clanwilliain and Mr. Planta, the
Under Secretaries.
To Lord DARN LEY.—I certainly do not consider the
witnesses inCotton louden as under my direction and comoul.
Lord LRSK IN E.--If that was your sole object, how
came you to send hnn with papers, the legalizing of which
must have caused some delay t 1 did not send the papers
that he might lega list? them hat I sells the papers to Milan
Chit they might be legalized there. I expected they would
be legalized iu suaiciew time to be brought back be re by
Hasten& before the 3d October. I left this,to the direction
of Colonel Brown.
Whet were the names of the persons to whose families it
bad been thought necesssary to send ?—Francini, Majucci
If I could see a list of the ni I could poiut out mere ;
but my recollection does out serve me now. Rastelli was
also to bring letters to persons in the ueighboui hood of
Milan.
Did you give instructions to Raskin to quit Milan. and to
the ueighateuring countries where the families of the witnes-
ses resided, and give them the assurances required du
not recollect having given any precise instructious to him to
do so.
The Marquis of LANSDOWNE.—Then it was by means
61"thuse letters which were brought by Rustelli, that the
families were to derive a knowledge of the witnesses'—By
these and the personal appearance of Rastelli ; mid I thought
that Rastelli would probably be sent front Milan to the
countries in the neighbourhood.
Had you any reason to expect that Rastelli would, with-
out any instruction from you, go from Milan to tae various
eo nitric, where the families were, mid give assurances
them by his personal appearance there?—l recollect that ne
was to get letters to the families, and to give asstiranr ha
the wi 'lessee were sate, and I concluded %hat Loh Brow
would 'wad him to the places in which the families were to
glee it iiiiii ii,SeratlerS.
Would it be possible that Rastelli could convey to those
• places the letters, and by Isis personal appearance make
those asserancei, w itliout Incurring a greater delay than was
permitted 7—As 1 have alreauy stated, tie left on site evening
()like 140, or the morning of the 15th. l calculated that
hr could get to Milan in six or seven days. Tuts would
leave eleven dash before the 3d of October. The (Hiram...
