RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE.
EXETER AND EXMOUTH.
An extraordinary general meeting of the shareholders
in this company was called yesterday, at the George and
Vulture Hotel, Lombard street, to consider the pro-
priety of forthwith proceeding with the abandonment of
the undertaking, but a sufficient number of shareholders
did not attend to comply with the requirement of the Act.
This line formed part of the scheme for introducing
the London and South-Westeru Railway into the West
of England, by means of the Exeter, Yeovil, and Dor-
chester Railway. Although a separate Act of Parlia-
ment was obtained it was, in fact, a branch of the Exe-
ter, Yeovil, and Dorchester line, and, therefore, was
guaranteed a per tentage lease by the South- Western
Company, in common with that undettaking. Upon the
resolution to abindou the construction of the Exeter,
Yeovil, and Dorchester, by arrangement with the lessees
of the London and South-Western, negotiations were
commenced for attaining the same object in respect to
the Exeter and Exmouth. The Loudon and South-
Western Company offered to purchase .tho shares, on
which 21s. had been paid, at 10s., and the real assets
being only equivalent to 55., shareholders holding above
10,000 shares, out of the total of 11,500 shares, signified
their assent to the proposal, and the circumstance that,
at the end of an hour atter the time appointed, sixteen
shareholders could not be found to constitute a legal
meeting, seems to show that general satisfaction prevails
with respect to the proposed course. ,
Mr. WOOLMER, the chairman of the direction, ex-
plained that with this large body of assenting share-
holders, who did not consider it necessary to attend, the
only thing remaining would be for them to. receive back
their money, which he trusted would in a very short time
be effected.

TRIAL of COUNT and: COUNTESS

BOCARME.
COURT OF ASSIZES OF MON.—Strut DAY.
The Court assembled on Monday morning at half-past
ten, and the two accused were brought in.
Emeranco Bricourt, aged 26 was then placed in the
witness-box; but she immediately became indisposed,
and a glass of water had to be given to her. In answer
to questions of the Pre::ident, she said that on the 20th
November last she was in the service of the two accused.
She could n(1 say wicker or not they lived in good in-
telligence, as she had only been with them a f .rtnight,
but the Countess had been very kind to her. The Cennt,
however, was very severe to his wife; when he ordered
anything she was obliged to obey; and he always spoke
menacingly to her. Wizness had twice seen the de
ceased Gustave; the first time he came he had spoken
to her, and bad afterwards conversed with the Countess.
The Countess received him in a very friendly way.
The istcond time she saw him was on the 20th November.
On that day he arrived at 10 o'clock, and breakfasted
with the Countess. 'Witness did not see the Count,
but had la, en told that he was also at the break-
fast. (ST. de Bocurtte here seemed aff, cted.) She bud
told the Count that there was a good deal of discrder iu
his.household. It frequently happened that the Coun-
tess was obliged to prepare the dinner. When she had
ordered anything, the Count rive counter orders, and
the Coentess dared not reply. On the 20th November
Gustave told her that be ietencled to stop to dinner, apd
asked at what hour it would be ready. She said that
there was no fixed hour, and he answered that it did not
matter once in a way what hour it was. -Whilst wit-
ness was dressing the Countess, the Count came in and
asked at what time the dinner would be ready. The
Countess said "Immediately," and she placed her arms
round her husband's neck. Witness observed that, as
soon as she should have done dressing the Countess, she
would lay out the table—she having been ordered to
wait at table, although that was not part of her ordi-
nary duty. The Countess ordered her to take the din-
ner of the governess and the children to the children's
room, though they ordinarily dined with their parents.
The Countess said that she could not have them at table,
as business matters had to be discussed. She also
told her that when she had removed the dinner she
was to retire. When witness had cleared the table,
only half a bottle of Champagne was left, and the Coun-
tess said she would fill Gustave's glass from it.
Witness did not again see Gustave until after his death.
Whilst the dinner was going on, a poor countryman, to
whom the Countess had promised assistance for a sick
person, came, but the Count asked his wife what right
she had to meddle with such matters, and prevented any-
thing from being given. Witness, after dinner, took
away several glasses. She remarked that Gustave
neither ate nor drank anything until after he had seen
the Count eat and drink the same things. The Countess
had made some apple tarts, and gave some of them to
the deceased. Those tarts had been made in presence of
Gustave. Witness after dinner went in with the lamps,
but the Count sent her away, and ordered her to go up
to the children's room. Whilst there, Justine Thibaut,
another servant, went out, but presently returned in
great terror, and was so weak that witness had to sup-
port her. Witness asked what ailed her, and she said,

No, no, not now; I will tell you hereafter I" and she
afterwards related that she had heard Gustave exclaim,

.1 Oh ! oh help—quick—help, Hippolyter Justine
also told her that she had heard the cries as she was
going to the kitchen, but she was so troubled that she
had made different statements on that point. Justine
had seen some one leave the dining-room, and close dif-
ferent doors, as if to prevent the noise in the dining-
room from being heard.
The President—Did you not think of going to the
assistance of Gustave?—Yes, Sir; and shortly after I
went to the door of the antechamber of the Count's
apartment. He was so troubled, so trembling, that he
could not seiza the handle of the door. He had no
light, but I had one, and I observed that he was very
pale. There was blood on his forehead as if he had re-
ceived a cut with a knife. I asked him what was the
matter, and he replied " Leave me!"
Did he close the door after him?—No, Sir.
I(cheasn'gSeiri—To that of
"a man who had committed a bad action."

could
you
comparec h changed?—Yes, ed

When you went down again, what did yon see?—l
saw the Count running'with a jug full of warm water;
the Countess was so frightened that I dared not speak
to her. She said to me, "Emerance, go up stairs again."
I followed the Countess in spite of her, and saw her en-
t.2r the room in which her husband was. The COIIIII-08
spoke low to the Count. I heard a noise similar to that
caused by vomiting. In going a little after into the
room, I saw that the Count had vomited in a basin. I
made no rifisction at the moment, but afterwards I
thought that poison had, in a eti uggle, fallen ou
Tne witness then proceeded to sny that she had re
turned to the children's room. and had stated to the
'thee: servants what she had seen. She -had said ahae
whit was taking place below did not concern the ser-
vants, and that if they were wanted the bell would be
rung. The Countess came to the room, and took her
laughter, the little Eugenia,, in her arms. She was
,neatly aeiteted, and pressed the child wildly to her
(new. She asked for a glass of water, saying that she
'tad eaten salt meat and was dreadfully thirsty. Wit-
(less did net give the glass of water because the Count
barred her passage. The Countess then cried, " Gus-
tave is ill!" She believed, also, that the Count cried
;he same thing. Witness was ordered to go to the
aitchen for a light; she did not see then a jar of vinegar,
which had been there previously. Shortly after the
Count entered the kitchen, and said, " What a misfor-
tune! Gustavo is dead! I expected to find him on a
Amir, but he was on the floor." Witness went into the
ilinink:reorn," and saiv M. Gustave inundated with
vinegar, and there was en odour which she had never
,xperi,nced before. When she saw the Count in the
tittechamber, be had on a great coat—when she saw
him in the kitchen, he had on an old dressing-gown,
which had not since been found. The Countess did not
follow her to the kitchen. Whilst witness was in the
kitchen, she heard her cry, "Ali! mon Dteu! Gustave
:s dead!" When witness saw the body tee face was co-
vered with vinegar, as if it had been plunged into a
easiu-full; and the Count rubbed the nose with vinegar
as roughly as he would have done a floor. Witness was
tudignant, and said that that was not the way to treat a
pick man. She observed scratches and bruises on the

face of deceased, and that his shirt collar was as tightly
pressed round his throat as if ha had been strangled.
There were mstks of blood on the shirt collar and the
cravat. Between eleven and twelve o'clock at night
isitness and other domestics went to the dining-room to
ask if the Count and Countess had any orders to give.
they were not there; and they went to the room to
which the body had been conveyed, to see if they had
gone to render assistance to Gustave, although there was
no hope. Witness saw in a retired part of the chateau
a light, which caused her to feel fear, and she cried,
" Who goes there? who goes there?" The Countess
answered, "It is I." Witness asked what had become
of the Count, and the Countess said that he had gone to
seek for vinegar. Witness asked why he should take that
trouble, when he had so many servants? She then
went to the governess, Madlle. Pate. She afterwards
saw the coachman, who expressed surprise at the Count
and Countess having fled to the chamber. He said he
suspected something, and proposed that they should
examine the dining-room, which they did. They found
a small knife, and she observed that it seemed to her
chat Gustave had used it to defend himself. The Count
told the Countess to hide everything which could cause
a misfortune to be suspected. That appeared very
strange to witness. The carpet in the dining-room had
been partially turned up. The dining-room was washed,
ny order of the Countess. In the night following the
crime neither the Count nor the Countess retired to rest

before five o'clock. In the course of the night the
Countess burned several papers. Tho Count carried a
large packet of papers to the kitchen fire, and made one
of the servants burn it.
In answer to the President M. de Becarme said that
the papers were old ones, which had been in a lumber-
room, but he admitted that amongst them were two
from the gardener at Ghent. As to the letters burned
by his wite, be said that perhaps they were correspond.
ence with persons with whom he was not acquainted.
The two letters of the gardener were relative to venomous
plants.
The female prisoner stated, in answer to a question,
that amongst the letters destroyed. eras one of her hus-
band's mother, another of his sister, arid the others were
trove M. Van Houette. The latter had been burned be-
cause they referred to poisons.
Emerance, having been again questioned, said that
she knew that the cravat of the deceased had beenburned
by order of the Countess.
The Cuurt tben adjourned, but the President told
Emerance that she would have to be again examined.

SEVENTH DAY.
The trial was resumed on Tuesday.
The witness Emerance Bricourt again appeared in the
box. She said, in answer to other questions, that she
thought it was the Count who had said to her, when she
had gone to the dining-room with lights, "No, no—
later." Gustave had not mentioned to witness, when
she saw him on the 20th, that she could not attend at
dinner as be had to talk of business with his sister and
brother-in-law. She gave the watch, chain, purse, and
pocket book of the deceased to the Countess after the
body had been discovered. When Dr. Srmet went down
stairs, after having examined the body, the Count and
Countess said to him, "Well—how is Gustave?" At
that time the body hal been undressed arid washed by
order of the Countess, and both she and the Jount must
have known that he was dead. Their question to the
ctor appeared very strange to her. Oa the 21st
November the Count and Countess called her to their
room, and the formersaid "Gustave has died of an attack
of apoplexy—if you were questioned, what would you
say?" Witness answered, "I should tell the truth." The
Count told her, and the other servants, not to say that
the doors had been closed, as that might compromise
them. The Countess exclaimed several times, "1\ or
Ernerance! Gustave died in her arms!" When the
Count questioned her as to the manner in which she
would depose, the Countess was present, and said, when
her answers pleased her, " That will do." She seemed
perfectly in accord with her husband. Witness, Justine,
and Virginia, wept to the cure-of Bury to ask him how
they should give evidence, and ho said, " My children,
you must tell the truth." On learning that they had
50110 teo the 01114 the Collates appeared discptiated ad

trembling. The cure also said to them, " You must not
lose your souls to save the guilty."
The President—Waa not the conduct of M. cle Bo-
cam:6 very blameable as regards the females in his ser-
vice?—lt wal rare for a young female to leave the cha-
teau as she entered it.
Was not Justine Thibaut pressed by him in an impro-
per way ?—She told me that he had fastened her in his
bedroom, but that the wind made a door creak, and,
fearif:g an alarm he abandoner her.
After the judicial authorities had visited the chateau,
did you not meet the Countess on the staircase?—After
the body had been examioed I met the Countess, and she
said, " All is well—they have discovered nothing."
The President—Accused, de Bocattre, have you any
observations to make on the evidence of this witness?—
I have nothing to say. Sir, on what the witness has said.
As to the colour which she gives to facts, it is easy to
see that she was the lady's maid of my wife.
Lydie do Bocarme, have you anything to say?—No,
Sir.

Io answer to one of the advocate, the witness stited
that she had observed to the Countess that she had
been very imprudfut to close the doors, to which she
had replied, " True, but in such moments one loges one's
wits."

The male prisoner, in answer to 'questions from the
President, said he had kept poisons in the cellar, and
amongst them was a buttle of nicotine. He admitted
that the nicotine stood on a shell by itself; but, never-
theless, maintained that it must have been taken by
mistake by his wile on the 20th, and that it was
from it she hid by error filled Gustave's glass. The
President, however, remarked that such a thing was
improbable.
Madame de Bocarece, in reply to the President, said
that she sometimes went to the cellar, but that her hus-
band had never tolddlur that there were bottles of poison
in it.
Virginie Chevalier, one of the domestics of the ac-
cused, gave the same evidence as Emerance, and added
that the Count, in questioning her on the evidence
she intended to give, said that she would be
very stupid to say that the doors had been closed; he
also said that justice always made a good deal of trouble
when a man died of apoplexy. Witness further stated
that the Count rose in the night to see to his chemical
operations, but she had never seen the Countess with
him. The Count never made improper propositions
to her.

Both the accused declared that they had nothing to
say on the evidence.
Several of the tradesmen of the accused then deposed
that they had great difficulty in getting money from
them.
Other witnesses were called to prove that M. de
Bocarm6 had once offired 30f. to a person to give false
evidence in his favour in a case in which he was con-
cerned.
