ZIT OF QUEEN',S BENCH, June 22.
(Sit►tings at Nisi Prius at Westminster, before Lord
CAMPBELL and a Special Jury.)
THE QUEEN (ON THE PROSECUTION el' ACHILLI)

NEWMAN.-CRININAL INFORDIATI DN,

(C,ntinucti Irons our Afternoon Edition Of—yo-sterday.)
The next part of the case which was gone into was the
connexion of Dr. Achilli with the college established at
Malta by a committee of gentlemen in England, at the head
of whom was Lord Shaftesbury. Dr. Achilli held the post
of Italian theological tutor in that branch of the college
which was devoted to the reception of priests seceded from
the Roman Catholic Church. The Earl of Shaftesbury, Dr.
Hadfield, President of the College, and Mr. Watts, clerical
secretary to the committee, were examined relative to Dr.
Achilli's conduct there, which, though not marked
by any of the excesses which, according to the
evidence, appear to have disgraced his residence in
other places, was of a nature to cause his dismissal from
the post which he there held While resident there it ap-
peared that charges were brought by an Armenian priest,
named Kaesi, who afterwards absconded, involving Dr.
Achilli and two Italian priests, Saccores and Leonini, rela •
tive to the introduction of women into the college. _ The

committee determined to investigate the charge, but failed
in so doing in consequence of Dr. Achilli having suddenly
sent away Saccores on,a missio❑ to Sicily. For this act, and
for having absented himself for an entire month from
the college without leave, the committee in London
dismissed Dr. Achilli from his post.
The next part of the case gone into was the offences alleged
to have been committed by Dr. Achilli in England. The
first witness called was

Harriet Harris, a good-locking young woman of about 20
years.of age, examined.by Sir A. CocKnuas, who said—That
in 1850, she,was engaged by Dr.Achiili as a domestic servant.
He then lived at Shaftesbury-crescent, Pimlico. Mrs. Achilli
was not then arrived. The first evening that I was
there, Dr. Achilli came down stairs into the kitchen,
and, taking hold of me, tried to put his arms round my waist
and tried to kiss me. He also tried to put his hands in
other p!aces and to take impropr liberties with me, but I
would not let him. He tried to do it several times, bir, he
did not succeed. He asked me, too, it I wanted a bedfellow.
—(Laughter.) He never attempted to take liberties with
me after Mrs. Achilli came back.

Jane Legg, examined by Mr. BADDELEY—I was, in the
beginning of last year, in the service of Dr. Achilli, at
Shaftesbury-place, Pimlico. After I had been there three
months, Dr. Achilli began to take liberties with me. I gave
notice to leave, but he persuaded me to stay on. He had
not done anything worse to me than kiss me then, but very
soon after he came up to me one morning in my mis-
tress's bed-room, and had connexion with ma. He had
connexion with me several times after, and in the end I be-
came in the family way and gave birth to a child on the sth
of November last. There was a gentleman staying at
Dr. Achilli's then, named _ Augustini, who also took

liberties with me and had connexion with me.
My baby died soon after it was born. Dr. Achilli never gave
me any linen for my confinement. I never asked him. . I
have seen Dr. Achilli since my baby died. I told him that
I had been subpoenaed to come here; he told mel bad no oc-
casion to go, I must shut the door in the face of any one
who came to fetch me.

Cross-examinated by the SOLICITOR-GENERAL—Mrs.
Achilli never found fault with me about my conduct with
men ; she objected to a young man who used to come to see
me, whom she found one night behind the back kitchen-door.
There was also another young man who used to come to
see me.

The ATTORNEY-GENERAL—HOW many men were you in the
habit of seeing ?
Witness—l am not obliged to answer that question.
Lord CAmr.BELL—If you have no objection you had better
answer it.

Witness—Well, I had only two, the young man whom
Mrs. Achilli found, and another one.
Lord CAmreELL —They came to court you 2
Witness —Yes, my Lord. Mrs. Achilli used to say she
would not have any young man coming to see me after dark.
I cannot swear who was the father of my child. I do not
know.
Sir A. COCKBURN—Had any one else connexion with you
besides Dr. Achilli and Augustini?
The witness remained silmt and gave no answer to this
question, which was not pressed.
Sarah Logan—l am the wife of John Logan, an en-
gineer, who lives at 11, Shaftesbury-crescent, Pimlico.
lam the sister of the last witness. She was delivered
at my house. Dr. Achilli came to my house to take
lodgings for two friends. Subsequently a clerk from
Mr. Lewin's came to inquire about my sister. I sent to
inform Dr. Achilli about it. He came to me one day,
in the evening, and said that Mrs. Castellini was em-
ployed by Dr. Newman's party—that Dr. Newman was
a very bad man, and he hoped to have him sent to pri-
son. He said if the people came again I was to shut the
door in their faces. I said it had been a great expense
to us having to keep my sister, particularly as the baby
had died in our house. He said e, Yes, yes." He said
nothing more, except that he would come again, and
repeated that we were to shut the door in the faces of
any persons who came to serve us with subpcoaas. Two
or three days afterwards he came again to us. We had
then been subpoeaaed. We showed him the subpoenas,
and he said be thought they would not compel us to go,
Lle said that he thought my sister Jane had nothing to
say against him. I said, Of course, sir, you know
what passed between you and Jane." He made no an-
swer. Nothing more was then said. Some days after
he came again, about an anonymous letter which had
been sent him about any sister. It said he ought to be
ashamed to draw poor domestics into trouble, and not
bear them through it; and that unless he sent 5/. to
defray all expenses, he should farther hear of it. I said
that I did not know who had sent it. Dr. Achilli said
that it must have come from the same parties as the
subpoenas.

Cross-examined—Dr. Achilli talked to me in English
on every occasion. I cannot tell from where my sister
came to my house. Dr. Achilles friends remained in
my house until after my sister was confined. I believe
that it is owing to Mrs. Castellini that we were
subpeeaaed. I did not wish to come here to be mixed up
bathe business, and therefore I said to my sister, on see-
ing her talking to Mrs. Castellini after we had received
our suleyeeae,s, " I had rather spit in her face than talk
to her."—(Laughter.) I did not wish my sister to have
anything to say to her.
Re-examined—This was after I had seen Dr. Achilli.
Sarah Wood—l am aged 19. lam now living with
my parents at Windsor. I have lived in the service of
Dr. Achilli. I entered his service in March of the year
before last. I believe it was 1852.—(Laughter.) I came
to his house from an establishment called the House of
Mercy, at Windsor, presided over by Mrs. Tennent.
When I left his house 1 went to my parents. I have
been with them now about five months. He took liberties
with me after I had been with him about a fortnight. I
went upstairs to clean out Augustini's bed-room; and
while I was there, Achilli came in; he followed me
several times round the room and tried to put his
hands round my waist, but he did not succeed, as I
walked away from him. His proceedings were inter-
rupted by a knock at the door. He ran down stairs
and commenced writing. I went down to see who
it was, and found it was my mistress, who had re-
turned home for her parasol. After she went out again
I went back to the bed-room, and he followed and re-
newed his attempts. I walked away and began to cry,
and threatened to write to Mrs. Tennent. He said if I
did I should be a very naughty girl. He subsequently
gave me a religious book, the title of which was .4 Cecile
to Jesus." About a fortnight afterwards, when Mrs.
Achilli was out, he called me into his dressing-room to
dust the table. I knelt down for the purpose of dusting
the legs, and while I WAS doing this he bolted the door,
and then taking me by the shoulders threw me with
great force upon a bed. I resisted with all my might, but
could nut get away. He was intimate with me then
against my will. I told him I would leave. I stayed five
months afterwards, however. I left because I was so ill
that I could not stay any longer. My lather then came
to take me away.
Cross-examined—The House of Mercy is a place for
women who have misconducted themselves. I was taken
in there on the recommendation of Mrs. Tennent. I was
in the kouse about nineteen months; I was sixteen when
I went there. Mrs. Tennent recommended me to Mrs.
Achilli. I am a Protestant. I fasted during part of
Lent, while I was with Mrs. Tennent; but not
while I was at Dr. Achilli's. I had not a
hymn book to the Virgin Mary. Some people say
that the House of Mercy is a Roman Catholic establish-
ment; but I believe it is not. Mrs. Achilli told me
that Mrs. Tennant had been a Roman Catholic, but
had left that religion. I told no one of the liberties
which Dr. Achilli had taken with me until about four
months ago, when one of Mr. Lewin's clerks came to me
at Windsor. I did not then tell him about the worst
part of the liberties. Three or four days afterwards,
however, my father and mother questioned me about the
matter, and I told my mother all. They told me I
should tell the truth, and I then got a woman to write to
Mr. Lewin to tell him all that had passed between me
and Dr. Achilli.
Re-examined—I had been seduced before I went to
the House of Mercy. I went there in consequence of
having quarrelled with my family.
By the COURT—I was away from my father's house
about three days before I went to the House of Mercy. I
had been seduced about six monthspreviously. I first went
there without his knowledge. I had been to school, but
I left as I could nurse the baby. Only one person had
had anything to do with me before I went to this house.
Catherine Freeman—Dive at 6, Great Smith-street,
Westminster. I once lived in service with Miss
Lam-
bert, 3, St. James's-street. I lived with her from 1843
to 1849. Dr. Achilli came to lodge there in 1b84e7 before
he went to Melton. About six months after Oame he
attempted to take liberties with me, by putting his hands
about my waist. He asked me to confess to him.—
(Laughter.) I got away from him. On one occasion
subsequently he asked mo to show him the name of a
street on the map. As I wentiuspt to

night.

I was first applied to about coming hero by Mr. Simpson,
of Clapham common.
He is a Roman Catholic, livingupon his own property. I have also seen Father Hut-
chinson, at the Oratory,about it. He came to me about a
week after Mr. Simpson.
Mr. James V. Harting—l am a solicitor in Lincoln's-
Ina-fields. I was employed in November or December
last to go abroad to collect the evidence necessary in this
case,l went first to Rome, then to Viterbo, then again
to Rome, then to klalta, then back to Naples; after-
wards once more to Rome, and thence home. At Vi-
terbo I entered into communication with the bishop and
his vicar-general, and with the priors of two convents. I
communicated also with the police authorities at Vi-
terbo, and the apostolic delegate. The gonfaloniero of
Viterbo told me that he could not furnish me with any
eiee documents to be need in this case, because they
Pe
had all been destroyed in the last revolution. I applied
to the police authorities there for the documents in
their possession. I applied to the Minister for Eccle-
siastical Affairs, and I now produce an examined copy
of a report from the Minister of Police to the Minister of
Ecclesiastical Affairs, with reference to cases in which
440 W? mooed.

The ATTORNEY-GENERAL Ohjnted to the reception
of this document as • .291th'Le3 of the 21st plea (which
set forth that in an official document of the metropolitan
police Achilli was reported and deolsred to be known
for habitual incontinency at Naples), because it had been
copied from a document in the archives of the Ministry
of Ecclesiastical Aff,irs, which was not authenticated as
a report of the Minister of Police.
After a short discussion,
Lord CAMPBELL held that the document was not
sufficiently authenticated, and it was accordingly not
received.
Witness then continued—Afterwards went to Rome
and applied at the Court of tho Inquisition for a copy
of the judgment of that court affecting Dr. Achilli. I
obtained a copy under seal of the judgment of the court
from the notary of the court. There is an office in the
personal know Vatican for the transmit of business of this court.

. . _ . . . .

Cross-examined—l have received documents from ti
Inquisition, but I do not know that I have seen thi,,
particular form of seal before. I have been told that
the office of the Inquisition has been removed to the
Vatican, where it was when I knew it, but I have no
personal knowledge of the fact. The Court of the In-
quisition has the supreme jurisdiction over the Catholic
clergy in matters ecclesiastical—that is with respect to
the higher crimes. lam perfectly acquainted with the
law with resp-ct to these court:, halving beau frequently
consulted by Cardinal Acton on points of law connected
with the jurisdiction of these courts. The jurisdiction
of the Court of Inquisition exists in different states by
the consent of the Governments, who have to some extent
dictated its proceedings. Its jurisdiction varies in different
states.

The Attorney and Solicitor General and Mr. Ellis
then briefly contended that there was no sufficient proof
that the document produceC. was an authentic copy of
the judgment of the Inquisition.
Lord CAMPBELL remarked, in the course of the argu-
ment, that this was the first time since the Reformation
that the judgment of the Court of Inquisition had been
tendered in evidence in an English court of justice. His
Lordship then, after hearing defendant's counsel in reply,
said :—The opinion of the Court can be asked as to
whether this document can be received in evidence
or not. lam clearly of opinion that it can. Looki❑g
at this document I find that it is a copy of the pro-
ceedings of the Court of Inquisition. Thank God
that we have not in this country a tribunal of inqui-
sition.—(Applause.) But I am bound to believe there
is in every Roman Catholic country such a tribunal, and
that such a jurisdiction is exercised at Rome, but,
thank God, it does not extend to this country.--(Ap-
plause.) This country will, however, be ready to receive
documents emanating from courts of justice in other
countries; and I am inclined to think that in receiving
this document I am not in the slightest danger
of doing that which may prove injurious to the Pro-
testant religion of this country. The document was
then admitted, his Lordship remarking, while it wet
being read—" I do not receive this as I should a record
of a Court of Admiralty as conclusive evidence of the
facts, but only as evidence in support of the defendant's
allegation that there is such a judgment in the Cour."
The original document being in Latin, the following
translation was read :

"1, the undersigned notary of the Holy Roman and
Universal Congregation of the Inquisition, do testify
that, after a complete investigation of the proceedings
instituted in the holy office against Father Hysciath
Achilli, priest, religious professor of the order of
preachers., it is proved from the same acts that the said
Achilli, having been examined by the established au-
thorities, confessed himself guilty of having held carnal
intercourse whilst ho was living in the monastery of
Viterbo with many women; also of having deflowered
another who was a virgin in the city of Mount Faliscue,
and of having carnally known two other women at Caput.
Moreover, it is discovered that be made another girl
at Naples a mother, and that the superior of the
order of preachers paid fifty scudi to another woman
who had been corrupted by the said Achilli, in order to
make amends for the injuries done. Lastly, I attest
that on account of the crimes of the above-named, and
other crimes of which mention is made in the acts after
mature and deliberate examination of the heavy charges
resulting from the acts, after having weighed the charges
put forth and considered other matters according to
custom, and after having mercifully accepted the confes-
sion of the accused himself and his own declaration of
the following tenor:—`l do not ask to b 3 chastised,
nay, rather I desire to be severely dealt with on my
own showing, according as justice demands. I will re-
ceive with resignation whatever punishment may be de-
termined upon, and supposing there were wanting suf-
ficient reason for proceeding with greater rigour, I de-
sire that confession be considered sufficient grounds for
punishing me as the said tribunal shall think beet,'
their Eminences the Inquisitors General on Wednesday,
June 16, 1841, in the Convent of Santa Maria-super-
Mienroam, decreed that the accused Father Hyacinth
Achilli, after baying been for ever suspended from the
celebration of the sacrifice of the mass, and for ever dis-
abled from any sort of direction of souls, and preaching
the Word of God, and deprived of active and passive
voice in the government of his order, and after having
had salutary penances imposed upon him, he condemned
to remain for three years in some religious house of his
order of the most strict observance.
" Given in testimony of all these facts for. the Chan-
cellor's office of the holy office, on this day, September
22, 1851."
The defendant's counsel then tendered in evidence a
document purporting to bo a copy of a petition presented
by a man named Nicolo Garamoni, to the civil tribunal
at Corfu, in which he alleged as a defence to an action
for alimony brought against him by his wife that she
had been committed for adultery with Achilli. This
document was tendered as proof of the 22d plea, but its
authenticity. having been objected to as insufficient, his
Lordship rejected ir.
Nicholi was then called, and said—l am a
Dominican friar. Every one becoming a member of
that order takes the three usual vows of poverty,
obedience, and chastity. Every priest, whether of that
order or not, comes under the obligation to chastity.
Sir ALEXANDER COCKBURN was then about to adduce
evidence to show that if the defendant's charges against
Dr. Achilli were true, their publication was for the pub-
lic utility, when
The ATTORNEY-GENERXL said that he would not
trouble his Learned Friend to prove this, but would at
once admit it.

Sir ALEXANDER COCKBURN stated that that was the
case for the defendant, and the Court then (at a quarter-
past eight o'clock) adjourned to halt-past nine o'clock
to-morrow.

MIDDLESEX SESSIONS, June 22.

ATTEMPTED ASSAULT ON THE ASSISTANT-JUDGE.---
William Jones, a ruffianly-looking follow, 21 years of
age, was charged with stealing a purse and 11.35. 7d.,
the property of Mary Aan Fry, from her person.
This case was also prosecuted by the Great Western
Railway Company. Mr. D. Seymour appeared for the
prosecution, and Mr. Ribton fur the defence.
The prisoner was apprehended at the Paddington
station, on the evening of the 29th of May, by Linden,
an officer employed by the company, for an attempt to
pick pockets, which formed the subject of another indict-
ment against him. The moment he was taken he threw
away a purse containing 11. 3s. 7d., which subsequently
was discovered to be the property of a Miss Fry, who
just before had arrived by the train from Berkshire.
She had felt it safe a minute or two before arriving at
the station, but immediately afterwards missed it. The
prisoner was taken by Mr. Collard, the superintendent
of the company's police, when he kicked and fought,
and at last was overcome by as many persons as could
lay hold of him, and bound down on a stretcher, closely
secured, hand and foot.

The jury returned a verdict of Guilty.
It was shown that the prisoner bad four times been
apprehended during the years 1850 and 1851 at Gloo

to be served by Egyptians. The execution of the works
clone is to be confided to an Egyptian engineer. Fuad

EASTERN UNION AND EASTERN COUNTIES RAILWAYS.
—The Legislature having removed the only obstacle to
the construction of the Harwich line, we hope the di-
rectors of these companies will forthwith prosecute the
works with vigour. The Dutch Government having
granted the concession for a line of telegraphic commu-
nication from the Hague to Harwich indicates that it is
alive to the importance of this route, tehich, in a national
point of view, cannot be over estimated, as at- present
our only means of rapid communication with the conti-
nent of Europe is vid France. We hope also that the
Harwich branch may have the effect of bringing these
two companies into closer connexion; it will no doubt be
a great feeder to the traffic of both, as by its unrivalled
harbour it possesses advantages superior to any port
from Southampton to the Humliar. The distance between
the southeastern route and the eastern counties being
about the same, a considerable portion of the Ostend
traffic must pass over the new line. IC the remainder of
the dispute is only a question of what the two lines are
relatively worth, could not some mutual friend deter-
mine the facts submitted to him for arbitration?—Rail-
