TRIAL Ole' A TURKISLI—PACHA.

(THIRD SITTING.)
The third sitting of the court was held on the 12th, and
was very numerously attended. A number of Ottoman
fuectionari.es were present. The interrogatory of Mehem-
med Aga, aide-de-camp of Sarni Pacha, which had been
suddenly broken off at the previous sitting in consequence
of the President finding it impassible to elicit from him
anytl4ng like a direct answer, was continued. The priso-
ner ',vas in irons, which appeared to embarrass him very
greatly, for ho was frequently heard to exclaim in a plain-
t',ve tone the words Allah! A mah ! (my God ; pardon).
The President, after recommending the prisoner not to act
as he had done on the former occasion, but to avow the
whole truth, corn menced his interrogatory :—" Where did
you first see this Toultcb4 girl, called Nedela ?" " I was
one day going to Matchin to execute a commission given
mo by the Pacha." The President here interrupted the
prisoner, telling him that it was useless for him to enter
into these roundabout details, and requested him to give
direct answers to his questions. He then asked him,
" whether he had not seen her near the door of an inn,
and whether in answer to a question put by him to her,
she had not said that she had something to say to tL•
Pacha ?"—The prisoner answered in the affirmative. " Did
she reply to you in Turkish ?"—" Yes." " Are you certain
of that; reflect before you answer ?"—"Yes, I am certain
of IL" " When you left for Verna did you not see this
girl?"—" No." The prisoner accompanied his reply by
the word Wallah, the usual Ottoman oath, but ho was
told by the President that it was not necessary or him to
mr.ke use of oaths all that was required of him was to
s?eak the truth. His answers, however, continued to be
oxtreruely vague.

The President ordered Moustsfa to in brought in, and,
addressing him said, "You have hitherto been sincere in
the avowal of ycur crime. lam about to put some further
questions to you, relle.:t and reply candidly." The Presi-
dent then alluded to the part of the former interrogatory
of Moustafa relative to his arrival at Varna, to which place
he had been sent beforehand by Hussein, to ascertain whe-
ther Mehemmed had found an inn for Salih Pacha. None
had been found, but Hassan Paella, the governor, to whom
Salih Paella had sent a letter, had kindly placed his house
at the disposal of his colleague. The President then pro-
ceeded with his questions to Moustafa. " You heard the
pacha speak of this girl ?"—" Yes." " And you spoke of
it to Hussein ; was it to you that the pacha spoke ?"
" No." "What did Hussein say when you related to him
what the pacha had said ?"—" He was very uneasy, and
said, What is to be done with this girl ?" " Was not
Mehemmed present with Hussein at the time rs,-" Yes, he
was." To Mehemmed : "You have heard the declaration
of Monstafa; do you remember the fact he mentions ?"
" No, Ido not. What he states might have taken place,
but Ido not remember it." To Moustafa " Did Mehem-
med know that the girl came with you from Toultcha to
Varna?"—" Yes, certainly he did." To Mehemmed;
" What do you say to this declaration ?"—" I was com-
pletely ignorant of the piesonce of Neiela." "It was you
who were sent to Varna to look for an inn for the paella.
The governor of that place, to whom you addressed your.
self, had heard of the abduction of the young girl. He
mentioned it to you, and said, I hope it does not con-
cern you ;' to which you replied by a falsehood, pre-
tending a complete ignorance of facts with which you
were well acquainted. What instructions did you receive
from the pacha on leaving Toultcha? Did he not tell you
to accompany on the road a young girl, and to attend to
her wants ?"—" The pacha simply told me to apply to Hus-
sein for the expenses of my journey, and to deliver two
letters which he gave me." " Did you not know that the
pacha had ordered Hussein to have the girl lodged sepa-
rately during the journey, dressed in male attire, &o.?"—"
knew nothing at all of all that." " We wish to know what
directions the pacha gave on the subject of Nedela?"—" I re-
ceived none; it was Hussein." " What did the pacha say to
him ?"—" You must find a good lodging for you know
who." "Did Nedela leave Toultcha on foot, on horseback,
or in a carriage ?" "In a carriage; but Ido not know
where she got into it ; I did not see her.% I appeared
clear from the manner of the prisoner that h knewh bettor,
but would not or dared not speak tke truth, and he was sen
back to prison. The President then ordered Hussein, the in.
tendant of the pacha, to be brought in, and commenced
prisoner appeared much altered
and his couutenance was that of
a man Of the greatest brutality. " How long had you known
sincehis interrogatory.hislast appearance, The
the
e girl before youleft Toultcha ?"—" For six or
,;evenn
,‘How did you first become acquainted with
erß udlagrasr.ip
her ?'—'l2.lehenimed came to me one day 1171(1 told me that
.as girl wanted me, who had something to say to the pacha.
I spoke to her, and she told me that she wished to embrace
Islamism."
The remainder of the answers of the prisoner was such a
string of prevarications that the President at length sent
him back to prison, and then commenced the examination
of Vacil. His evidence was nothing more than a recapitu-
lation of the facts stated by Monstafa as to the murder of
the girl. At the conclusion of his interrogatory the court
again adjourned.

PITIES OF WESTMINSTER HOSPITAL.--At an inquest re-
