QUEEN'S BENCH.-(THIS DAY.)
(Sittings at Nisi Prius at Westminster, before Lord
CAMPBELL and a Special Jury.)
THE QUEEN (ON TUE PROSECUTION OF ACHILL') 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. Tim-
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 Qaercia 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 Le sermons at
ante
Capronice, in the province of Vite
thoserbo. I was
appointed by the Bishop to preach sermons.
I have yet the patent of my appointment. In Septem-
ber, 1827, I received an appointn3ent as lector philoso-
phice 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
of the 6t Oc-
tober, 1832, I was appointed by the master 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
of the sacred palace. In 1833 I obtained from Cardinal
Belzi unlimited authority to confess in the diocese of
the Bishop of Monte Fiasco persons of both sexes.
That gave me authority artmpose penance and give ab-
solution. In the Same ye 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-
opnrt mo

1843 I loft Viterbo
the tour of the Dominican churches in Tus-
scany. 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. 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
the I wdiocese a! appointed visitorl

was the
convent of Napi, n of Napi.
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 Caputs. The other patent was from the same Cardinal
to preach Lent sermons at St. Maria de Capua, 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-
larization 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 tried. 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.
That was in June, 1838. I was appointed at Rome
confessor to tho 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 Ancona; 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
pass post 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
a
Rag-
land. I came to England in May, 1847. I was the
ap-
pointed professor of the college at Malta.in June,
I went and
discharged the duties of professor.
returned to England, where I remained tilljalnBulaB;yl,
1849. At Rome I was married--that marriage took
place on the 24th of June, 1849.
Healey,married a Miss
an English lady, who had been
educated in
Italy. Shortly afterwards I was again put in prison
by the Inquisition. 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 a political
cause. The French authorities interfered in my favour.
After I left Rome on that occasion I came to England,
where I have remained ever since. I have actedgl 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 Gen-
tilli. 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 name
of Gatlin was the wife a count Julia 14uither

of the families lived in the country near Viterbo. I did
not pass my country month in 1831 in the fsmily of.
Geutilli, but I passed it with another family. It was
my custom in Oetoh,r to pa-s my time the conniry
with friends or relations. I pssed my cow! try month
in 1831 with two or three of my friends, but c,rtainly
not in the house of Geutilli. In neither of the houses I
visited was there a servant girl with whom I walkA out.
I never went with a servant girl to foe two Gentillis
shooting.

[The witness Eleanor Valenti who swore that be had
connexion with her at the Geutilli's country house, was
here brought forward.]
Did you ever see that woman before?—Newt -
tercourse with that 'w•
Did you evrr have in women?
—Never (indignantly). I never had conaexion
with that woman in any place in tee world I never saw
onmoarnhiaa,itchoensnaccxriiosutywoifththehechr.ureThhoef
Gh erre do ir, aantyVoitthe er

family of Maccarini at Viterbo, are my relations. I
never had connexion with the woman Valenti et their
house. I never gave her or any other woman a le cket
handkerchief and three sausages, as a return or reward
for any improper intercourse. Of sausae,es I had none
to give, but I might have given a handkerchief to same
poor woman. I know a nun, Rosa di Alerrandris, a rela-
tion of mine, in the monastery of St. Bernardo, at Vi-
terbo. I was never found guilty of seducing and de-
bauching and carnally knowing her. Sae is older than
I am; with her I could not have cemmitted any sin, be-
cause she is shut in a nunnery. I never had connexion
with her in the sacristy of the church of Gradi, or any-
where else. I never gave say money to her lather us
hneh money. I think I was a child of five or six years
old when her father died. Ido cot know any other
Rosa di Alesandria. Iu July, 1834, I did not debauch,
seduce, and carnally Ir noes a young unman led woman,
of 24, whose name is unknown to the prosecution. In
1835, while resident at Viterbo, I did not debauch and
seduce, and rob of her honour Vicenza Guerra, I did
not know a person of that name, and besides I was not
at Viterbo in 1835. When I was in Capua, in 1835, I
resided in the house of the C,rdinal Archbishop, and
was occupied morning and evening in preaching Lent
sermons. I was during the whole of my stay there
under the eyes of the Archbishop. I did not while at Capin
have intercourse with a chaste and unmarried woman.
(The witness Principe Balisano was then shown to
Dr. Achilli.) I never saw that woman in the whole
course of my life. In 1840 I was at Naples. I had at that
' time availed myself of my letter of secularia scion, and
was living as a simple priest. I never saw her in the
sacristy of the church at Naples. This is the first time
I have seen her. I know the paper produced (receipt tor
payment of money to the image). It contains my writ-
ing. This was an institution for an image in St. Peter
the Martyr to collect money. I did not receive the
money; there was a person specially appointed for that
purpose. Persons came to me to write down their names,
but they were not allowed to enter the sacristy—they
stopped at the door. I do not recollect being
stopped in a procession by Principe or her
mother. I was never before the police respecting
a charge by the Principes. I had a friend, the Duke of
Larina; he is no relation of mine. I left the Dominican
order because the brethren began to make war, and
they spread charges against me. I made no account of
this, as was my custom, but my friends, irritated at
such proceedings, tried in every way to subvert and de-
stroy such charges. I had communication with the
Duke of Larina and all my friends. I was never before
the police with the Duke of Larina or any of my
friends. At Corfu I knew a tailor of the name of Gar-
ramoni. His wile lived with her mother, next door to
me. There were two houses. I never committed adul-
tery with Garramoni's wife. I remember on one night
a fact that happened in regard to Garramoni. One
evening I was
passing before the house of the wife of
Garramoni, she was at the door and called me. She
asked me to answer and correspond to certain questions.
She began and asked these questions, when we were
surprised by her husband. The questions were begun
but were not finished. I believe she meant to ask me if I
had heard any noise in her house on an antecedent night,
and I believe that she alluded to certain screams or crys
that, de facto, I had heard. When Garramoni came up
he began to inveigh very furiously against his wife. I
was standing at the door of the house, and it appeared
to me that h pushed me inside his house. I made a
step within the door. I reproved Garramoni for his
conduct to his wife. I made way with my hands and
got out. That was the only occasion on which I was
within the house of Garramoni's wire's mother. I do
not think I ever saw his wife at any other place. Some
days after I heard that Garramoni spoke against me
through the city. I went to Mr. Fraser, the secretary
of the Lord High Cemmissioner, and complained of Gar-
ramoni. I have no knowlege of any proceedings being
taken in the matter in the courts. I had two persons
in my service—Carraboni and his wife—all the time I
remained at Corfu, and at Zante they were in my service;
they followed me two or three weeks after I arrived at
Zante. I did duty at a chapel at Zante. I knew Mr.
Reynolds at Zante; he was one of my
congregation.
His house did not look into mine, but mine into his. My
house was higher than his, and in order that a person
in Mr. Reynolds's house could see what
going on in the upper room of my house
it was necessary to place himself outside the window.—
(A laugh.) I never committed any indecency with Garra-
moni's wife. I recollect Mr. Reynolds, after an event
which happened between us, did speak to me relative to
the persons in my service. I had in friendship, and
charitably, given some slight reproof to Mr. Reynolds
because he was in the habit of drinking- too much in
the evening and being drunk. The first time be received
the reproof with resignation; the second time he was a
little displeased; afterwards he absented himself from
the congregation. I went to pay him a. visit of reconci-
liation; he assumed altogether a serious tone, and began
to reprove me about my servants. Ho said that they
had been, before coming to me, persons not of good
morals. I answered I should be satisfied if they behaved
well while in my house. I begged him to tell me if he
had to say anything against them at that time. I re-
member that he himselr spoke in eulogy of them, only
he would have wished that I should send them
away according to his will. Before that time
he had said nothing about sending them away.
Carraboni lived in my house as well as his wife.
They had a child. Tho wild never slept with
me, nor dined with me. Mr. Reynolds never came to
my house. I never sold that the two covers laid on
the table were for poor Albica, the wife, who was going to
dine with me. I never walked arm in arm with her in
the street. I never went with her to hear the band play.
I never went to hear it even by myself. The congre-
gation increased very much after Mr. Reynolds left it.
I continued to perform duties in the chapel six or seven
months after he left the congregation, and until the last
moment I remained in Zente. The congregation in-
creased sip to the last moment. (The mother of the
witness Principe was here brought forward.) Ido not
know that woman at all. Carraboni and his wife did
not continue in my service after I left Zante. While I
was professor at the College of Malta, two priests, named
Zaccharis and Leonine, who had been converted to the
Protestant faith, were accused of some offences. The
accusation was made by an Armenian priest, who, in my
judgment, was not deserving of belief. I was instructed
by the committee in London to inquire into the charges.
I had advised the secretary not to institute proceedings
against the accused persons, because I knew very well
the character of the accuser, and that no credit should
be given to the accusation. I investigated the matter
on my return to Malta, and the result was
that no credit was given to the allegations.
I sent Zaccharis on a mission. Before he went com-
municated to Mr. Hatfield, the principal, that he was
going to Sicily on a mission. I did not send big
away for the purpose of stifling the charges against
him. Whatever wore the charges against these two
persons, I fancy I was not implicated in them, as
I was in London at the time they were made, and they
were at Malta.
Were you dismissed by the College of Malta for the
offences of sin, fornication, and immorality 7—No, I
think not.
Did you ever preach against the laws of chastity and
morality ?—No, never.
Do you believe in the truths of Christianity 7—Yes.
Have you ever been an infidel?—l think or believe not.
There was no time in which I did not believe in the
truths of Christianity. There was never a time in
which I did not believe in the &vine mission of our
Saviour. After I got out of the prisons of St. Angelo I
came to this country with my wife. I do not know a
person of the name of Catherine Gorman. In London I
lived at No. 3, St. James's-street, at the house of a
Miss Lambert. I never took any liberties with the ser-
vant of Miss Lambert. When I first came to London I
lived in Northumberland-street, and, subsequently,
at Shaftesbury-terrace. I had a servant,L named
Harriet Harris. I never canducted myself indecently to-
wards that person, or attempted to seduce her.
I had a servant named Jane Legg. She followed the
other servant, and remained with me six months. I
never behaved indecently to her or tried to seduce her.
I remember Sarah, who came fromo the House of Mercy,
at Windsor, to take Jane's place. I never had criminal
intercourse with her, or attempted it in any way. I
was in the prisons of the Inquisition on two occasions.
There were some proceedings against me, on the first oc-
casion, in the holy office of the Inquisition. I was
questioned by the Inquisition every day. The charges
lre school, in
made against me were with regard to my teaching in
t
the pulpit, and the confessional.
There was no charge bronght against me re-
specting my
moral conduct. The Inquisition is
not a competent tribunal to deal with these
crimes. The Inquisition never personally and to
my face charged me with immorality. Ido not know
of any charge of immorality being preferred against me
to the Inquisition. I never made a confession

me. The proceedings had entirely reference to my teach-
ing. There was no sentence or
judgment delivered, only
a decree of the
Congregation of the holy office, ordered
by the Pope, to set
me liberty. I was then set at
liberty under certain conditions—thatshould
reconciled toth e Holy See, and that to the mem-

wws

time I aliculd abstain from the exercise of my ministry.
This reconciliation, according to the instructions given,
consiced is this—that I should write end poblish solve
book in /avoar of the Roman Catholic Church. I must
cur relit an observation which I made, not having sul-
reff,ced. My it,cereeration at the Inquisition

as I said, into the cc-niatiy in the neightourhood of Row°

from the Icvisition on the first °cession.
oss-exateined by Sir A. COCKESURN—I became a
monk of the order of St. Dominic, in 18°0, and took the
vows. The Dominicans profess only ij, single vow,
:—" I, Achilii, promise obedience to God. to the
bles,:cd Virgin, to the patriarch St. Dominic, and to ye!
Most Iluv. Fatha--Gentral of the Order until death.
There is nothing else in the vow. I mean to state on my
oath I believe a Dominican monk does not take the
vow of povt.rty and celibacy. I swear on my
oath I did
not take those vows. It it is lan their interest to take
those vows, Dominican monks do not take them. They
were not a nee:.sary condition to hr admitted into
th.e Order of tit. Dominic. The vow of
ebedienee is only necr.ssgry. In the year 1824

against me of violating the person of a young woman
in Cardinal Belzi'd house. There might have been,
but I cannot now recollect. lam net indifferent to
charges of that kind, but thousands of the same
nature have been made against me. When in
the prison of the It quisitiou I was accused of
murdering a nun, and the matter was brought under
the notice of the French Government. To obtain
letters of seclurazition, I must have a patrimony.
The letters mention vows in the plural, but I still per-
sist in saying I only took one vow as a Dominican
monk. I obtained the patrimony from my uncle shortly
after the letters of secularization were granted. In 1831
I did stay for a portion of the month of October at the
house of a lady named Gentilli, the widow of one
Christoehe; the house is in the country near Rome-
The servant in the house was not the woman Valenti,
I don't recollect ever seeing her face before. I have
gone out shooting while there, with Spaletti, the vicar of
the bishop..
Sir A. COCKBURN—Oh! that is the amusement of
monks.—(Laughter.)
Lord CAMPBELL said that formerly English bishops
and the clergy kept fox hounds.
Sir A. COCKBURN—But there is a great difference
between secular clergy and monks.
Witness—l never took out any servant girl to show
her some shooting sports while I was at Signora Gen-
tiles house.
You have plenty of funds to carry on these proceed-
ings?—l hope Providence will furnish me with funds.
From whom do you get funds?—l get them by the
providence of God.
That is not my question?—l obtain them by the Pro-
vidence of God through some friends.
Lord CAMPBELL—I do not see any necessity for in-
quiring into that point.
Sir A. COCKBURN—I only want to show funds are
not wanting.
Lord CAMPBELL—I think there are no funds wanting
on either side.—(Laughter.)
I think, Dr. Achilli. you have said the monks at
Viterbo are very wicked people?—l do not come here to
cry out against them.
But you have cried out against them—have you not?
—When time and circumstances allowed it.
You said, I think, they were a sinful and profligate
people?—l did not say that of the monks of Viterbo.
Are they a gocd and virtuous people?—Some are
good and some bad.
Were some loose in their conversation with women;
and were all possible means taken to hush up their eon-
duct?—According to th© law, it was the duty of the
principals to proceed against them, and I myself have
been charged to conduct inquiries respecting some.
Were you ever charged with such an offence?---As
long es I remained with the Dominicans I was their
idol.—(Laughter.) After leaving Viterbo I went to
Naples, having previously spent Lent at Capita.
While you were at Canna had you intercourse with
any woman whatever ?—I might say no;" but I ap-
peal to the privilege given me by the Judge not to
answer the question.—(Sensation.) I was never charged
with having intercourse with the daughter of the cham-
berlain of the Bishop of Capua.
Do you think, now you are a Protestant, that a
charge of tinchaetity is a serious cne to be made against
a Roman Catholic priest?—l believe it is a real crime
among all Christians. I do not think it makes much
difference between a clergyman and a layman ia this
resp- ct.
(The witnots was under examination when our report
left.)

SECONDARIES.—(THIS DAY.)
(Before Mr. Secondary POTTER.)
He PPER V. BURNETT. —WRITING LETTERS TO THE JUDGE.
The plaintiff in this actien is a ship broker in the
City, and the defendant carries on the same business at
Sunderland, and the action was brought to recover the
sum et 21. for money lent.
Defendant pleaded that ho was not indebted.
The Learned SECONDARY said that in this case some
person bud sent him a letter; he had not read it, but it
was highly improper of any one to write to a judge on
the subject of a case about to be tried before him. He
should therefore hand the letter, which was at great
length, over to the plaintiff's attorney to read.
The plaintiff's attorney read the letter, and said it
was from the defendant, but did not disclose the contents,
The plaintiff's attcrny then called the plaintiff, wbo
proved that he lent the defendant 21., and took his
lOU.
The jury gave a verdict for the amount claimed.
The plaintig's attorney applied to the Secondary
to certify for costs to prevent the necessity of plain-
tiff going before a judge, as it had been necessary to
bring the action in the superior court, for if they bad
taken proceedings in the County Court it must have
been at Sunderland, and plaintiff would have been at the
expense of going down there; or, on the other hand, a
special application must have been made to the Judge of
the Sheriff's Court, Loudon, and then defendant, if ho
had a defence, would have had to bring his witnesses up
to London,
The Learned SECONDARY said, that where there was
a coecurrent jurisdiction, as in this case, he had no
power to give a certificate—the application must b©
made to a judge at chambers.
