QUEEN'S BENCH,—(THIS DAY•)
(Sittings at Niel Priori at Westminster, before Lord

CAMPBELL and a Special Jury.)
THE QUEEN (ON THE PROSECUTION OF ACHILLI) v.
NEWMAN.

The intense interest which this case has excited during
the last two days had increased rather than abated this
morning. The galleries and the body of the court were
crammed in every part, and crowds remained outside,
who we unable to obtain admittance.
Dr. Achilli was called and examined by Sir F. Tux-
SIGER. In reply, to a preliminary question, he said he
would prefer giving his evidence in his own language.
He then said—l am forty-nine years of age. I was born
in Viterbo. I was educated in the Roman Catholic
faith in the College of the Jesuits. I entered the
Dominican convent at Quercia as a novice; that was in
the year 1819. I was then sixteen years old. I re-
mained in that convent a little more than one year. I
then became a monk of the Dominican order. In 1821
I went to Lucca, to pursue my studies there. After
that I entered into priest's orders. I was then under the
canonical age. I obtained my orders by a dispensation
from the Pope. That was at the solicitation of the
Duke of Lucca. In the same year that I obtained my
orders I went to the College of Minerva at Rome, to
pursue my studies there. In the early part of 1827 I
was sent for to preach the Lent sermons at
Capronica, in the province of Viterbo. I was
appointed by the Bishop to preach those sermons.
I have yet the patent of my appointment. In Septem-
ber, 1827, I receivad an appointment as lector philoso-
phise at the seminary of the Bishop. of Viterbo. I
commenced my duties under this appointment in No-
vember in the same year. I remained discharging these
duties at Viterbo until 1833 inclusive. On the 6th Oc-
tober, 1832, I was appointed by the master of the sacred
palace at Viterbo to be his vicar. among other things,
I was made not only censor of the press, but president
of the censorship. I have yet my appointment as vicar
anbodtghivseexaeb:
s
of the sacred palace. In 1833 I obtained from Cardinal
Belzi unlimited authority to confess in the diocese of
the Bishop of Monte Fiasco perseena9coef
That gave me authority to impose Pen
solution. In the same year I was appointed by the ge-
neral of the Dominican order prefect of studies and
the head professor of studies at the College of Mi-
nerva at Rome. I have not that appointment In
1843 I left Viterbo with the provincial order on a vi-
sitation tour of the Dominican churches in Tus-
cany. In November, 1834, I returned to Viterbo, when
that visitation tour was ended.. I stayed at Viterbo in
my own convent with the provincial. I remained on this
occasion only a few days at Viterbo. T
I was appointed
visitor at another place. I was appointed the confessor
of the Governor of Viterbo, when I went there in 1827.
The whole of the time up to 1833 I acted as confessor
to the governor. The general authority of the bishop to
confess in Viterbo is renewed from year to year, and
my appointment was renewed annually up to 1833. The
other place to which I was appointed visitor was the
convent of Napi, in
.the diocese of Napi. I was en-
gaged in that visitation some weeks. I then went to
Rome. I arrived in Rome in. the month of December,
1834. On the Ist April, 1835, I had two patents to
preach the Lent sermons. I have got them in my pos-
session. One is from the Cardinal Serra, Archbishop of
Capua. I was to preach the sermons at his cathedral
at Calms. The other patent was from the same Cardinal
to preach Lent sermons et St. Maria de Capes, a colle-
giate church. I received authority to confess persons of
both sexes in the diocese of Capua. It was an appoint-
ment during pleasure. I held it all the time I was at
Capua. In the year 1835 I obtained letters of secu-
lam Won from the Pope. I now produce those letters.
I did not avail myself of them immediately, because I
was ordered by the Cardinal Acton to remain a little
longer in my vocation until I was better triad. After I
obtained the letters of secularization I went to Naples,
and remained In the Dominican convent there for four
years. During that time I was a month at Rome.
Treat was in June, 1838. I was appointed at Rome
confessor to the Princess of Saxony, Louisa de
Bourbon. In the month of August, 1837, I had a
patent instituting me as prior of the convent of Santiago
at Naples. I had previously been sub-prior. There is
a clause in the document absolving me from all excom-
munication. That clause is contained in all patents con-
ferring jurisdiction. In September, 1837, I was appointed
by the Prior Provincial his commissary in a cause to be
tried in the convent of Del Atro near Naples. In 1839
I completed my secularization and remained at Naples
as a secular priest for two years. I then went to Rome,
that was in the year 1841. In the spring of 1842 I was
imprisoned in the Inquisition. I remained at that time
about three months. When I was released from the
prison I went to pass the summer in the country near to
Rome. I afterwards went to Ancona, and from thence
I proceeded to Corfu. I met Biochiani in Anoona; he
told me he was going to the lonian Islands. I told him
I was going the same way, but I had not a passport, and
ho added I might avail myself of his, because he had a
pesspost for five people and there were only four, so I
took no name, but I was number five. I re-
mained at Corfu about a year and a half.
I went from there to Zante, where I
remained also about a year and a half. I left about
July, 1846, and went to Malta. I then came to Eng-
land. I came to England in May, 1847. I was the ap-
pointed professor of the college at Malta. I went and
discharged the duties of professor. In June, 1848, I
returned to England, where I remained till January,
1849. At Rome I was married—that marriage took
place on the 24th of Juno, 1849. I married a Miss
Healey, an English lady, who had been educated in
Italy. Shortly afterwards I was again put in prison
by the Inquisitio. I remained there six months. I was
confined in the prison of St. Angelo. I was let out of
prison under the pretext of being a witness in n political
cause. The French authorities interfered in toy favour.
After I left Rome on that occasion I came to England,
where I have remained ever since. I have noted as
minister of the Italian Potestant chapel near Golden-
square until two weeks ago. I was not deprived as early
as 1826, or at any time, of my faculty to lecture for any
offence. I did not, in February, 1831, or at any other time,
know a person of the name of Eleanor Valenti. While
at Viterbo I did not rob any young woman of her
honour at all. I knew a family of the name of G en-
There are two families of that name at Viterbo,
two brothers, each with a family. In 1831 I did not
know a Signora Gentilli. The only female of the Irmo
151 Gentilli was the wife of Count Julia Gentilli. Notion
