THE CONSPIRACY TO TAKE AWAY THE KING'S LIFE BY
MEANS OF THE INFERNAL MACHINE EMPLOYED ON THE 28TH
JULY, 1835. _

Fiescli—Madci.moiselle Petit may come and say what she
pleases, I viill never ,-,ly a word against her in reply. I have
divided my bed, and the ,earning of my labour with her. The
shirt which the last witness nos on his back, the sheets in which
he sleeps, the chair on which Le sits, are mine. I ask him
whether this is not the case, and whether, when he was impri-
soned at Sainte Pelagic, he was oot supported by Made-
moiselle Petit, while I was dying with hunger, without hav-
ing any one to whom I could apply ? Th.
1 man was ashamed
to come here to bear witness against me, wht
I introduced Lim
to Mademoiselle Petit. Mademoiselle Peti., is a woman
whom I have loved, and made my bosom companion. Let her
come I I will not say a word against her. Fiesciii was then
about to sit down, when suddenly resuming, as if by an irre-
sistible impulse of feeling, he said, " Sir, he now sleeps in
my bed, and if the woman Petit had not put him into my
place, and reduced me to nothing for him, I should not have
suffered the frightful miseries I have undergone, which at
last has brought me where I now stand. This woman has
written a letter to me ..requesting to be allowed to ace me,
and acknowledging that she had used me ill. I replied that
she had been my bosom friend, and that, if it was in my power,
I would render her any service, but that I mast never see her
again.—( Murmurs.)
The President—Bring in the woman Petit.—(General ca-
riosity,)

]Madame Petit was introduced. She was of a good figure,
tall, thin, and very pale; about 38 years of age, but looking
younger. She was handsomely dressed in a gown of brown
silk, with a large and very white tippet worked and edged, and
a brown velvet bonnet with a sprig of green leaves, a black
lace veil and blue ribands. A long gold chain was round hor
neck. On her coming forward, Fieschi looked down, and
affected to be very busy taking notes. She declared her name
to be Laurence Petit, a widow twice, aged 38 years, and
keeping a pension bourgeoise in the Rue des Fosses St. Ger-
main l'Asmerrois. She declare 2 that she did not know the
prisoner Pepin, and that she was rely to answer any ques-
tions that might be addressed to her.
M. Marie—Did not Ficschi come in May, 1635, to offer tho
witness 200 f. if she would live with him again.---That is the
reality.
M. Dupont—Did he give you this sum ?—No ; Fieschi
called me to a house; I went there. When he came and
made me the proposition, I would not accept it, because I
should have contracted new obligations towards him.

The sitting was then adjourned at a quarter to four, till to-
morrow, when the requisitory of the Procurcur-General will
be delivered.

SITTING OF WEDNESDAY, FEB. 10.
The five prisoners, Fiesebi, Morev, Pepin, Boircnu, and
Bescher, were conducted into Court at half-past twelve o'clock,
and placed as on the previous days. Ficschi was as sprightly
as ever, and on taking his seat gave the usual nod cf recogni-
tion to his mistress, Nina Lasave, who occupied a front scat in
the witness-box just above -him. He then entered into earliest
conversation with M. Tarquin, one of his counsel.
The President, Baron Pasquier, took the chair at a quarter
to one. After the apprl nainiKal was concluded,
The Procureur-General, M. Martin du Nord, read the re-
quisiiory detailing the whole of the 'circumstances connected
with the infernal machine plot, and went into a lengthened de-
tail of the evidence ag-ainst the prisoners, and was stilt spetl-
ing when our reporter left.
