As the witness left the box there were some slight
hisses iu the gallery.
Dominico Paoli—l was formerly a friar of the order
of Serviti at Viterbo. I lived at Viterbo several years—
from the end of 1831 to nearly the end of 1837. While
I was there I knew Dr. Achilli—from 1831 to 1833.
When he left Viterbo he was in good public estimation.
I have nothing to say against him. I never heard of any
charges of immorality having been made against him
whilst he was at Viterbo.

Cross-examined—l have now been in England a year.
I am a free man, having left the Roman Catholic Church.
I came here originally being engaged by a society to
evangelize the foreigners during the Great Exhibition.
It was a society called " The Society for the Spread of
the Gospel amongst Foreigners," which had an office in
Leiceter-square. I was brought to Eugland from Ge•
neva by that society. I have been severed from the
communion of the Catholic Church about two years. I
say so, because I have left Italy about two years. I
left for the purpose of being able to profess freely my
religious opinions. It is about two years since I left
Italy. I live now upon the means that are afforded to
me by Father Gavazzi, who employs me. He gives
me writing to do. I act as his secretary. In short, I
do what he tells me.

Captain W. Hudson Lawrence—I am a captain on
half-pay in the Royal Artillery. lam inspector-general
of police in the lonian Islands. I have been in commu-
nication with the attorneys for the prosecution, and I
have in consequence applied for the proceedings in the
court at Corfu between Garamoni and his wife. I was
also employed to find tho wife of Garamoni. She is now
.in England. I tried, in consequence of a communica-
tion I received from the proseCutor's attorney, to find
Coriboni and his wife, but I have not been able to do so.
Mr. Kirkpatrick—l was for several years Chief
Justice of the lonian Islands. I have seen .the
proceedings obtained by Captain Lawrence, which are
proceedings of the civil court of those islands. They
appear to relate to a suit for alimony. I think there
were no witnesses examined. The cause had only pro-
ceeded to two or three petitions when a reconciliation
took place at the instance of the president of the
court. She withdrew her suit and had her dowry re-
turned.
The documents wore then put in. They consisted of
a petition of the wife for alimony; a defence by the
husband on the ground of her having committed adultery;
a denial of that charge by the wile; its withdrawal by
the husband; and a document embodying the terms of
reconciliation or compromise—the word in the original
was " zione."
Mariana Cbrissfii—l am the wife of Garimoni, who
carried on the business of a tailor at Corfu.
I remember Dr. Aebilli coming to live at Corfu.
I then lived with my mother. My husband
did not live with me. I remember one nigh;
' speaking to Dr. Achilli as he was passing the house.
My husband had often used me ill. See, my face is disfi-
gured by him. I recollect one night I wished to call Dr.
Achilli, because my mother pointed him out to me, atd
said that probably, being a neighbour, ho might have
heard a quarrel between me and a lady a friend of my
husband. I told her that I would wat till the evening,
and then ask him whether he hadtheard th 6 quarrel. I
went to the window, to be able to call him as he passed,
and as I was going down stairs to speak to him, it hap-
pened that my husband and Dr. Achilli rushed in to-
gether. I wished to call Dr. Achilli that ho might be a
witness in my favour, but I did not know him before.
My husband rushed up stairs and said many things that
ho should not have said. Dx Achilli was never in my
mother's house before or eine a Dr. Achilli was out-
side the door, when my husband put him in. I cannot
say that ho was ever within the door, though ho was
quite close to it. There was never any improper milli-
many between me and 1)r. AcMli. I did not know him
before he was pleated out to mo iii England by the
daughter of the landlady with whom I reside. There
were 3GIIII legal proceedings between me and my hus-
band. We were reconciled and lived together for some
years. We have now been separated again fur seven
years and a half.
Cross-examined—l was married to my present hus-
band it may be siveeir years ago. He always led use a
miserable life. I was beaten because he bad to do with
other women.
COUNSEL—Were you not beaten because your hus-
band said you had to do with other men? Witness—
No, it was not for that. There are many proofs of
what I say; two doctors, four lawyers, and many other
men.—(Laughter.)
Are these men to prove your innocence?—No; they
will all prove that my husband is
_a bad.
.m.an.—
(Lnighter.) Ido not know how long Dr. had
cOmo to live near my mother's house before I spoke to
him. I was waiting at the window, to sae him pass, when
he came up.
How did you know that he was out that evening, in
order to wait for him?—My mother said to me, This
gentleman is not at home now;" and I answered, " I will
remain here all night, if necessary, that I may see him."
I did not even call to him; but my intention was to
call to him, to ascertain whether ho had heard the
quarrel with the woman. I had not got down to the door
when Achilli and my husband came in. I was up-stairs
with a light.
Did your husband call to you to bring the light ?
No, be did not call for the light; it was I who wished
to come down to speak to the gentleman.
Did you hold the light up to the gentleman's face ?
—No, I did not.

Did your husband say, " Worthless woman! wretch!
I have caught you ?"—That evening and the whole of
that night he tormented me, and went about saying
that he had tound me with this gentleman. There were
two persons passing at the time -to whom he said so.
My husband pressed Achilli against the wall.
Did Achilli struggle to get loose?—No, he did not.
How did he get loose from your husband, who wal
holding him against the wall?—I do not know, because
I was up-stairs.
Did you never come down at all?-1\T°' T
—. I remained
up-stairs.
You did not then come down stairs at all while this
was passing between your husband and Dr. Achilla ?
I could not, come down; I remained on the stairs; sr
stairs. I never descended.
Do the stairs load directly to the
