INFERNAL MACHINE PLOT.
COURT OF PEERS, WEDNESDAY, FED. 10.
(Continued from The Sun of Yesterday.)

TRIAL OF FIESCUT, PENN, MOREY, BOIREAU, AND BEECHER, FOR
THE CONSPIRACY TO TAKE AWAY TIIE KING'S LIFE BY

MEANS OF THE INFERNAL MACHINE EMPLOYED ON THE 28TH
JuLy, 1835.
The requisitory of the Procureur-General lasted for nearly
three hours.

M. Patorni, who then began his pleadings in favour of
Fieschi, demanded, on account of his own bad health, that the
Court might be adjourned till the day after. The President
refused this. His task, as Fieschi's defender, was to ward off
from..him tho condemnation of death which he was so loudly
invoking on his own head ; two advceates, indeed, had been
charged with his defence besides himself, and he only spoke
first through their kindness He then retraced the antece-
dent life of the prisoner Fiesehi, who, when under the decree
of arrest, was abandoned by the woman Petit, and thus fountil
himself deprived of all resources. It was then that the pri-
soner could not have avoided making bitter reflections upon
the gratitude of Governments which he had served at the risk
of his life ; this, added to his abandonment by the woman
Petit, at the very time when he most wanted an asylum, de-
ranged his head, overturned all his ideas, and broke his heart.
From that time he saw nothing but enemies all around him.
The Court was then adjourned at five O'i lOCk.
SITTING OF THURSDAY, FEB. 11. _ _

The prisoners Eieschi, Morey, Pepin, Borcau, and Bescher,
were introduced by the Municipal Guards at the usual hour,
and placed as on the previous days.
M. Patorni resumed the pleadings on behalf of Fieschi, ob-
serving, that he hoped not to be interrupted in the arguments
which he thought essential for the defence of his client. The
Learned Advocate said, that it was fully proved that the
crime, as laid in the act of accusation, had not been perpe-
trated ; it was not necessary for him to dwell longer on that
fact, as be had satisfactorily established it at the former sit-
, ting. With respect to the third part of his defence, it referred
to the conduct of the authorities on being informed of what
was to take place on the 28th of July, and he had no hesita-
tion in saying. that had they not been guilty of the grossest
negligence, the crime of which his client was charged would
never have taken place. With respect to the confession of
Fiesehi, that was drawn from him by promises, upon which
he relied, being convinced that by revealing all he knew, his
life would be saved. The Learned Advocate concluded by
recommending the cause of his client to the justice of the Court,
and hoped that, like him, they would be convinced that Fi-
eschi was not morally guilty,
M. Dupont addressed the Court on behalf of tke prisoner
Morey. He appeared before the Court to deknd the life and
honour of an old man, and not only
his honour,. but that of his
family, from one of the foulest d ,mes that could be imputed
to a human being. Havintr commented on the evidence of
some of the witnesses a,r!ains-t his client, he dwelt particularly
upon that of Fie,7,11, who in his opinion was not entitled to the
slightest toblidence, for he would ask what individual in Court
Co'f,a escape being compromised by so base a character as
No one could be safe from the decimations of such a man..
Fiesehi ?—( here the latter smiled and took a pinch of snuff.)
The fact was, that Fieschi was the sole author of the infernal
machine, and, finding his head in imminent danger, he thought
the only means of escaping a scaffold was by making pretended
revelations against innocent persons, and thus obtain some
promise from the Crown. The learned advocate was enter
ing into an analysis of the evidence against his client when
qnr reporter left.
