LA W LYTELLIGENCE.—Feb. 12.

COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH.

(Sittings at Guildhall.—Before Lord Campbell and a
Special Jury.)
cram. CON.—HOPB V. AGILIDO.
(Contia.ved from our impression of yesterday.)

Monsieur Beaudelocke examined by Sir F. Thesiger
—I am an avocat at Boulogne, and practise in thecourta
of France. Application was made to me for the regis-
ters of persons embarking and disembarking at Bou-
logne. I applied to the central commissary of police
at Boulogne for the registers themselves, but the cen-
tral commissary would not permit it. A. espy of these
registers is sent from time to time to the Minister of the
Interior. I demanded pierinission from the centralcom-
mipsary t• make extracts from the registers, and it was
granted. I went to the commissary of the port where
the registers are kept. I made the extracts from those
registers and now produce them. The registers are
kept by virtue of ministerial orders—under the order of
the Minister of the Interior. That has bee❑ the custom
since 1816.
The Attorney-General—These orders do not exist
under any law of France ?
Witness—No; they are orders made by the Minister
for the execution of the law.
The Attorney-General--And mere matters of police ?
Witness --Yes.
The Attorney-General submitted sufficient bad not
been done to enable the books to be put in.
Lord Campbell—No, it must be shown that these re-
gisters exist under the laws or ordinances of France. I
will a linit that evidence.
Exa,miriation continued—No person cm arrive at or
depart from Boulogne without being registered, They
are registered in the books from which I made the ex-
tracts. If the central commissary signs a certificate
that, according to the register, such and such a person
has arrived or has embarked, it would receive full credit
in the courts of France, unless it could be shown that
there was a material error.
Cross-examined—The courts would receive the certifi-
cate in preference to the books.

Lord-Campbell—l think, Mr. Attorney, I must now
receive this evidence.
The Attorney-General—Very well, my lord. You will
be good enough to undentand me as objecting.
The extracts from the registries of persons embarking
and disembarkinc, at Boulogne in April, 1843, wore
then put in. They went to show that the defendant
and his servants arrived at Boulogne on the 22d of
that month, and loft on the 29th of July in the same
year.

- Cross-examined by the Attorney-General—l copied
these extracts word for word from the registers.
Tallandie examined—l was hired to drive a car-
riage in Paris, by the Count Aguado. I had orders
from the Count to drive Mrs. Hope about. I had a
general order from him to obey her orders. I was in
the Couat's service. He paid my wages. The Count
had apartments in the Rue de Monceau, No. 3. I have
often driven Mrs. Hope there. I used to take the car-
riege to a neighbouring street, so that it would be out of
sight. When the carriage was required, the porter of
the Count's house called me. Mrs. Hope used to re-
main two or three hours in the Count's house in the
Rue de Monceau. I have seen the Count handing Mrs.
Hope to her carriage. She often gave me orders where I
was to meet her with the carriage the next day. Some-
times I took her to Mr. Hope's house on the Quai
d'Orsay. At other times I did not. I seldom
fetched her from Mr. Hope's house. She used to
enter the carriage a few doors distant. During the
summer of 1850 I drove her to no place but the Rue
Monceau. I have driven her to No. 20 in the Bois de
Boulogne, in the quarter of St. James. I drove her
there every day during the summer. Mons. Aguado had
rented it for ayear.___ I saw the Count there each time I

went there. airs. Hope used to remain one, two, or
three hours. They spoke in E❑glish and I very seldom
understood them. Once I heard him call her "Mathilde."
I told the Count Aguado that Mrs. Hope asked me
questions every day, and tkat I did not know how to
awwer her. The questions were as to the count's con-
duct in respect of women, and what amusements he
took. The Count raid, "You know my affairs, I
leave it to you." I was at Trascates, at Havre, in
July, 1852. The Count was there. Madame Hope
was there also. I often took lettars from the Count
to Madame Hope, in Paris. I only took a box at
Havre.

Cross-examined by the Attorney-General—l was in
the service of Louis Marcie, who let out carriages, and
used to drive the Count Aguado. The Count did not
discharge me because I drove other persons about in his
carriage for money. He discharged me because I was
five minutes too late. The Count refused me a charac-
ter to the Duke d'Albufera, because I had a bad head.
I was imprisoned for beating a former master. I never
said the Count had prevented my getting a situation,
and I would pay him out for it. Mr. Hope, the plain-
tiff, took me into his service in No►ember last, It is
about six weeks or a month ago when I first communi-
cated what I knew about Mrs. Hope. I made no state-
ment to any one before the end of November, or the
beginning of Decesnber. I never told Laindier " I
knew why I was taken into Mr. Hope'■ service ; it was
because I had driven Mrs. Hope." I never
told him I knew nothing against Mrs. Hope, but I
would serve Mr. Hope for his money. I never said to
Liandier it would be worth 20,000 f. to me. I drove
Mrs. Hope to the house in t'ua Bois de Boulogae about
three times a Is eek. She asked me almost every day
whlt the Count's conduct was:. I always took care to
tell her the contrary of the fact—his conduct was very
bad. I always told her it wai very good. There are
three c )achinsn in Mr. Rope's service. I left service to
go to Mr. Ilope'e. The wage 3 aro better, and there is
more tranquillity. Before I went to Mr. Hope I did
not go to Madame Hope and tell her what I was going
to do. I (lid go to Malame Hope before I entered Mr.
[lope's service. Mrs. Hope expressed her surprise, and
did ad she could to prevent my going to Mr. Hope. I
never said to her, " I ain a man of money, and will not
open my mouth without it." I never spoke about
money. Liandier pressed me to see Madame Hope
and the Count Aguado, and said I could have what
I liked.

Re-examined by Sir F. Thesiger—Liandier had been
Mr. Hope's coachman. He left Mr. Hope's service
to go to Madame's. Liandier was the "secret commis-
sioner" of Madame Hope. He tried to prevent my en-
tering the service of Mr. Hope. Liandier took me to
Madame Hope, and made mo wait till she was dressed.
Madame Hope said, " You must not go to serve my
husband—l will not have it ;it is impossible. If 3ou
go into Mr. Hope's service, lam a lost woman." The
Count Aguado would not see the when Madame Hope
wished him. Liandier was present when Madame Hope
used the words.

Louis Granjot examined by Mr. work fur
my father, who is a gardener in the Bois de Boulogne,
in Paris. I have worked for tne Count Aguado in 1880
or 1851. Tallendie often came there.' M. Aguado used
to come in his carriage, and Madame very often followed
hire. I never saw them in the same carriage. They
almost always came there at the same time. I cannot
say exactly how long they remained—sometimes an hour
in the day—sometimes longer.
Cross-examined by Serjeant Wilkins—l shall be 20
next September. My father used to work as a gar-
dener for the Count Aguado. I have seen the lady. I
did not know her. She was pale in the face—a very
pretty woman. She has never been pointed out to ins
since. I have never seen her portrait. She was thin.
I was asked to become a witness on the Bth of this
month by Mr. Hart. No one but his interpreter was
with Mr. Hart. I expect nothing for coming here. I
have had nothing. I can earn three francs a day at
home. Mr. Hart brought me here to the Hotel an-
dier. I saw other witnesses there. I did not see Tal-
landie until this day in Court. I know the Count
Aguado. I have been-at his house. He is a dark gen-
tleman.
Re examined by Sir F. Theaigsr—lt was the Count's
house, and not the Tiscount'u. I have seen him there
nearly every day.
By Serjeant Wilkins—The Count had dark brown
moustaches and beard.
By Sir F. Thesiger—l know the Count very well—the
Count Olympe Aguado.
Mary Anne Caram, examined by Mr. Phipson—l am
chambermaid at the Pavilion Hotel, Folkestone. I re-
member Mrs. Hope being it the hotel in 1851. She
arrived on the sth ofJune, by the 7 o'clock train. Her
maid was with her. She selected two bed-rooms, 58 and
59, on the second floor. I had shows her other bed-
rooms. The rooms 58 and 59 were at the end of the
passage on the second floor. Then, were double doors
between the rooms. Mrs. Hope occupied 59. I saw
the Count Aguado on the 6th ; he occupied 58. There
were two beds in 53, one stood to the left ; the other,
the smaller one, before the communicating door. On the
morning of the 6th I noticed this bed bad been removed
from the door. The doors were kept locked. A piece
of wood was shown to me which bad been broken off the
door. There was no key kept in the door, Mrs. Hops
and the Count Aguado occupied those rooms all the time
they stayed at the hotel. They both left on the 9th by
the boat to Boulogne.
Cross-examined by Serjeant Wilkins—The Count de
Morny was there at. the same time. I made an affidavit
in this case. I never told the people who came to take
my affidavits about his being there. I did not say the
Count de Morny was there. He was the companion of
the Count Aguado on that visit. He came with him,
and went away with him. They tools their meals to-
gether, and occupied the same sitting room. In June,
1851, the hoes° was not undergoing repairs. They
were finished. I swear that. I cannot swear all the
workmen bad left, but I believe they had. I did not
state to Mrs. Hope as the lower rooms were undergoing
repairs we were obliged to put some of-our guests in the
upper floors. We had not been compelled in conse-
tqhuaetn
scpe r thatnfg.

taiusel in consequence of the rough state of the sea. I
spoke about the piece of wood to the gentlemen who
t Kok my affidavit. I will swear that. My affidavit was
road or,r to me. I did not complain that what I have
said about Count de Morny had baen omitted from my
affidavit. Mr. Hart came to me. I have not seen him
in company with Mr. Hope. I don't know Mr. Hop..
I only saw the Count Aguado at the hotel once.
Anne Swan, examined by Sir F. Thesiger—My name
was Baker. lam now married. I was a housemaid at
the Pavilion Hotel, Folkestone. I was housemaid by
day and chambermaid by night. I remember Mrs.
Hope coming to the hotel in the summer of 1851. The
Countan

engaged.
.11 He I de
saidiadskneoidtt
was engaged by Mrs. Hope for some friend of here, as I
understood. The Count said ho thought it must
be for
him, and he should take it. He occupied the room

while he was at the hotel. Rooms 53 and 59 are the
two last rooms at the end of the passage on the second
floor. There are double doors co:nmunicating between
53 arra 59. There were two beds in 53—one a small
brass bed before the door. I observed the next morning
that the larger bed had been elept in. The smaller bed
had been removed from the door. Off the door next 58
a piece of wood had been broken, because the key bad
been lost. I picked up a piece of wood that was broken
off the door.

Cross-examined by the Attorney-General—lnquiries
were first made of me, I think, in March, 1854. I have
made no affidavit. The weather was very rough when
Mrs. Hope and the Count were there. They were de-
tained there on that account. The repairs were after
thin. The workmen were then building a new wing to
the house. Ido Rot remember much about these cir-
camstances till 1854. Room 43, where I showed the
Count to first, is in the same passage, a little further off.
He was asked if he would like to see any other, and he
said he would see the room engaged by Madame Hope.
I do not know that he had two servants with him.
No servant slept in his room. I only saw one servant.
If he had had a grooin there he could not have slept in
the house. The brass bed was a very small bed—a child
might move it.
Thornae Walsh, examined by Mr. Bavill— I am now a
farmer hi the county Mayo. I was a night porter at the
Pavilion Hotel for many yeare. I wee; so iu 1851. I
recollect Mrs. Hope coming there in the summer of 1851,
and the Cutlet Agua•lo cowing the same night be the
mail train. She occupied 59—the Count occupied 53.
It was my duty to be up during the night to look after
the lights. There was a small ga=s-light opposite 53. In
the course of the night, between twelve and one, I went
to that light. I heard voices in 59. Iht and the voce
cf a gentleman. I could not ray whose ;it was in 59.
lam quite sure it was a man's voice. I heard Mrs.
Hope's voice also in the same room, 59.
Cress.exa,mined by Mr. sergeant Wilkins—l left the
Pavilion on the let of March, 1852. I could hear what
they said quite plain, but I could not understand their
language ;it was the French language. I went to put
the gas-light out. It was my business to do it. I made
an affidavit in this case at a lawyer's at Westport, in
Ireland. Mr. Hart took my affidavit. Mr. Topp came
to me a month before Mr. Hart. He came for informa-
tion iu this business. I have never seen Ur. Topp since.
When I walked up the passage that night, I walked
quite "aieey." , (Laughter.) I never mentioned this
story to any man or woman till I mentioned it to Topp.
I may have mentioned it to my wife if I was drawn into
it. (Laughter.) Mr. Topp said nothing to me about
1001. When I first heard them speaking in the room
they were speaking loud.
Mark Richards, examined by Mr. Phipson—l am a
Custom-house agent at Folkestone. From 1344 to 1852
I was head porter at the Pavilion Hotel. In June,lBsl,
Mrs. Hope, the Count Aguado, and the Count de
Morey, were at the hotel. They all left on the 9th of
June, 1851. That was a Monday. On the Sunday
afternoon, the Count said that as the weather was mo-
derating, if it should be fine in the morning, they
should cross by the morning boat. Finding the
weather was better, I called the Count Aguado
before five o'clock. He opened his door, and said
if the weather were finer, he would cross to Bou-
logne. He put his drawers on, and came into the
corridor, and looked out of. the window. We then went
back to his room. I went to the door, which was open.
The Count Aguado passed through those doors. I heard
a conversation in 59. Ido not understand French, but
I understood enough to know that they would cross the
water. The Count told me to call his servant. I did
so. He was sleeping in No. 63, the floor above. I
knocked twice before he heard me. There was no ser-
vant in 53 when I called the Count. No person to my
knowledge slept in the small bed in 58. I afterwards
went up with the boots, and assisted in the packing.
The double doors were then open. The Count was not
dressed. Mrs. Hope and the Count were talking from
one room to the other. She had not her gown on. She
was dressing. They both left that morning.
Cross-examined by the A.ttorney-General—The Count
was very well known at the Pavilion Hotel ; so was
Mrs. Hope. He always behaved like a gentleman to
me.

The Attorney-General—We know what that means.
(Laughter.)
Cross-examination continued—The first time I men-
tioned having seen the door open 1:43 in March last
year. I mentioned it to a gentleman interested in this
case. I will not mention the gentleman's name. I first
mentioned the matter to Mr. Breach, the landlord of
the Pavilion. The packing was going on in both rooms.
Ii believe Mrs. Hope's !maid was in her room. Mr.
Breach said to me, "He thought the man had a bad
wife, and it-was the duty of every one who could to give
evidence, to throw light on it."
The Attorney-General—l don't know if it's true,
but are you fond of billiards, races, and such amuse-
ments

Witness—l am not fond of billiards.
The Attorney-General—Well, fond of races then ?
Witness—l was at a donkey-race lastyear—(laughter)
and never was at any other except the Folkestone races
once.

Sir F. Thesiger—That closes the plaintiff's case, my
lord.

The court then adjourned till to-morrow, when the
Attorney-General will open th• case for the defence.

DOWILL AND OTHERS V. THIS GENERAL STEAM NA.VIGA.
TIC4I 00112 ANY.--COLLISION.
_ _

The trial of this case Witi resumed this morning.
Sir F. Thesiger summed up the evidence for the defence.
Mr. M. Chambers, in reply, contended that the brig
was, according to the evidence, in a proper position, and
hal shown a sufficient light, according to the Admiralty
regulations, and if a proper look-out had been kept on
board the stc:►finer she -inti,t have been seen. It was
very negligent of the captain of the Trident to go at the
rate of seven knots an hour on such a night.
Mr. Justice Erle, in summing up, put two questions
to the jury : Ist, was the accident occasior.ed by any
negligence on the part of the plaintiffs in not showing a
sufficient light for a proper length of time, so as to have
prevented the collision ? and, 2dly, could the defendants,
by the use of ordinary care and skill, Lave avoided the
accident ?

The jury retired for about two hours, and on their re-
turn into court found, as to the first question, that the
plaintiffs were to blame for not continuing to show a
light until the danger was passed ; and as to the second
question, that the steamer was to blame in going so fast
on, so dark a night, but that the accident was unavoidable
when the vessels were within two ships' length of each
othc r.

His lordship said that as they seemed to throw some
blame upon both parties, he would put another question
to them. Did the collision arise from unavoidable acci-
dent, and were both equally to blame ?
The jury found that the preponderance of blame was
on the steamer.
His lordship said that he should order a verdict for
the plaintiffs, with leave to move to enter a ♦erdict for
the defendants in case the court should—be of opinion
that the facts fund by the jury-were in favour of the
defendants.

OFFICIAL DESPATCH FROM FIELD-

WAR DEPARTMENT, FED. 12.

Lord Panmurc has this day received a despatch and
its enclosures, of which the following are copies, ad-
dressed to his Grace the Duke of Newcastle, by Field-
Marshal the Lord Raglan, G.C.B.

Before Sebastopol, Jan. 27, 1855.
My Lord Duke,—l have the satisfaction to acquaint
your grace that the weather continues flue. There are
severe frosts at night ; but the cun shines brightly
through the day, and there is an absence of wind, which,
whilst it continued, added considerably to the sufferings
of the troops.

Every exertion is making by public transport, and in-
dividually, in getting huts up ; but this is a most diffi-
cult operation, and the ground is still so rotten that it is
a most arduous labour to pass along it.
The extremely confined space of Balaklava, and vast
accumulation of stores, has obliged me to erect huts at
some distance outside the town Lr their reception.
I inclose the lists of ca3ua;ties to the 25th instant in-
clusive.—l have, Sze.,

LIVERPOOL STEEPLECHASE.

Trout, recovered from his recent depression, was again
quite lively at 8, and 7to 1 taken. Bastion stood firm
at 10 to 1. 31163 Mowbray was evidently under suspi-
cion, for although 12 to 1 was taken once to a pony, 14
to 1 was more in accordance with the tone of the market.
The investments on Need wood at 10 and 15 to 1 were
few and unimportant.

THE DOCK COMPANIES' Acrs.—DEPU-
TATiON TO Tile, BOARD OF TRADE.

A deputation, comprising Mr. S. Gregson, M.P.,
the chairman of the East and West India Dock Com-
pany, the chairman of the London Dock and St. Katha-
rine Dock Companies, Messrs. John Cattley, Samuel
Hibbert, J. W. Cater, W. Gladstone, and H. Brown-
ing, including the three secretaries, had an interview on
Saturday with the Right Hon. E. Cardwell, the Presi-
dent of the Board of Trade, and Lord Stanley of Alder-
ley, at the Board of Trade, Whitehall, respecting the
application which the companies are about to make to
Parliament to repeal the clauses which exempt lighters
using the docks from all dues or charges.
Mr. GREGBON explained the position of the docks with
regard to lighters, and that a large number of them wei e
occupying a considerable portion of the dock room, and
deriving a very profitable revenue, without paying the
least remuneration for the accommodation which was
afforded. The hon. gentleman pointed out the injus-
tice, as he called it, of the present system, and submitted
that the dock companies hal made out a very strong
cage for an alteration.

Several paperi and returns bearing upon the subject
*went handed in to the Pre
Mr. CARDWELL said he would look over them, and
give the matter that consideration which its imporLance
deserved. At present they would not expect him to
express any opinion.
The deputation then withdrew.
