INFERNAL 'MACHINE PLOT.
COURT OF PEERS. SATURDAY, PER. 6.
(Continued from. TILe San of yesterday.)
TRIAL OF FIESCHI, PEPIN, MOREY, BOIREAC, AND BESCHER, POR
THE CONSPIRACY TO TAKE AWAY THE KING'S LIFE ay
MEANS OF THE INFERNAL MACHINE EMPLOYED ON THE 2811
JULY, 1835.
Cclonel Pontcharra being examined rekttive to the machine
and its musket barrels, Fieschi interrupted the witness, and
began by repeating that Morey had charged three barrels,
so as to cause them to burst. " 1 fast arranged the machi'de
so as to sweep the tt;ley of the Boulevard next to myself;
this would hay::: killed many more persons, but I changed
my mind, ::,rd pointed it higher ; the sight of M. Lavocat
me change it, eni this prevented me from killing 150
persons intead of 40 ; I saw M. Lavocat, he was speaking to
M. Pavis, and I let go the cord; I saw other aco.aaintances
also, and I said will you kill those with whom y-,,u have eaten
and drunk ; I ran to the door, but it was kJarricaded ; and
this gave me time to reflect that M. Lavocat had not seen me
for eleven months, had rejected me, awl, might not listen to
me. Then my promise to Pepin an Morey occurred ; then
came the sound of the drums. I did not hesitate for fear, fear
and I having never entered by the same door ; but the thought
of my crime devoured me, The mere sight of one man caused
the King to be saved, " Give me the plan, with the Princes
marked on it," exclaitned Fiesehi, who having got and look•ed
at it, continued—" You see, but for the budging of the ma-
chine, 100 persons, King and all would have perished. i
don't
say this in my defence, but from respect to truth. Crime must
have its victim ; I am ready to march to the scar old first, be-
fore my accomplices. But I speak to show that the founda-
tion of my character is attachment (here Morey was observed
to smile bitterly), and you will see the fruits of what I have
done. But for my attentat, the Cossacks would have been
upon the Rhine. Ingratitude is in my eyes worse than rob-
bery, for the robber may want six francs for his dinner ; but
the ingrate has no excuse. As for ine, I remember benefit,s.
I exposed my life "for M. Lavocat, and would again if I was
free. But that never be. My fate is fixed-4 have fed
upon the thought of death. Death is my compP:nion, and my
only mistress now."
The sitting was adjourned to Sunday.
SITTING OF SUNDAY, FEB.
At half-past 12 Fieschi, Morey, Pepin, P,oireau, and Des-
cher were introduced by the ustral escort of Municipal Guards,
and two hospital attendants led in Morey, who, however, ap-
peared in somewhat better health, lie is still accommodated
with an arm-chair, where he sat without paying attention
to anything around him. The prisoner Fieschi, as the pro-
ceedings advance, instead of passing from gay to grave, passes
from gay to gayer. His dress this morning had been particu-
larly attended to, and he wore his hair in the most fashio-dable
style. After looking round him with a smiling countenance,
his next attention was directed to the witness-box above him,
in order to give a nod of recognition to his inistre,•,s, Nina
Lassave, who returned this mark of affection with r.tn inclina-
tion of the head, and she subsequently kept her evd'es constantly
fixed upon the prisoner. Pepin's countenanef, and manner of-
fered a striking contrast with the extraorti nary cheerfulness
and easy manner of the former prisoner ; Pepin seemed to
have abandoned himself to despair ; '.mmediately on sitting
down, he covered his face with his !Plaids, and remained in that
position for a considerable time.
The witnesses M. Lepage, "armourer, and Colonel Pont_
charra, of the Artillery, hay.,,g been called, the grbffier of the
Court proceeded to rears the proces verbal of the inspection
which those gentlemer, yesterday made by order of the Court
of the gunpowder vynich had been seized at Morey's residence.
It appeared on examination that the gunpowder seized was
precisely of the same quality as that contained in the gun-
barrels by some accident, had not been discharged.
The e'iarge in question was now handed to Fieschi ; he was
unable to recognise it. He said that Morey's charge was
m.ade of copper ; that now presented was made of card paper.
Fieschi than proceeded to enter into some further r,articulars
commencing in a jocular strain, as follows :—" St'ppose," said
the prisoner, " that a wild duck was precisely on the spot
where the Noble President of the Court is now seated,_
(Great laughter.) " I beg pardon," continued the prisoner,
" but instead of a wild duck, let us imagine that some other
description of game were on that spot."—( Renewed laughter.)
The prisoner was continuing in this absurd and incoherent
strain when our reporter left; the post being closed on Sunday
at two o'clock.

COMMON PLEAS-MONDAY.

PEREIRA V. FRANKS.

This was an action of trespass for assault and false impri-
torment. The defendant, who is a hatter, and occupies a
shop and two rooms in a house in Finsbury-square, has been
for some time disputing with a Mrs. Etsbank, the occupant of
the remaining part of the hettse, about the use of the kitchen,
which she claimed a right to uie in common with him. Mat-
ters proceeded so far, that on the night of the 28th of Octo-
ber last, the defendant put up across the entrance a wooden
partition to keep Mrs. Ewbank out, when she sent for the
plaintiff, Pereira, who is a carpenter, and directed him to
break it down with his mallet, which he was hi
accordingagly- do-
ing. when the defendant called in a policeman and ve m
in charge.
The Jury found for the plaintiff, with 40s. damages.

INSOLVENT COURT.iIONDA

Charles Robins and John Harley were opposed by Messrs.
Cooke and Rawlings, on the part of Messrs. Hodgson and Co.,
and other creditors, merchants. The insolvents were sup-
ported by Mr. Woodroffe.
The insolvents had been extensive drug merchants. Their
cases occupied nearly two days in the investigation, which was
an inquiry into property.
The COURT adjudc,red both the insolvents to an imprison-
ment of eight calendar months, for a fraudulent disposition of
property.
