TRIAL OF A TURKISH PACH.A.

(THIRD SITTING.)

The third sitting of the court was held on the 12th, and
was very numerously attended. A number of Ottoman
functionaries were present. The interrogatory of Mehem-
med Aga, aide-de-camp of Salih Pacha, which had been
suddenly broken off at the previous sitting in consequence
of the President finding it impessible to elicit from him
anything like a direct answer, was continued. The priso-
ner was in irons, which appeared to embarrass him very
greatly, for he was frequently heard to exclaim in a plain-
tive tone the words Allah ! Anzah (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, commenced his interrogatory :—" Where did
you first see this Toultcha girl, called Nedela ?" " I was
one day going to Matchin to execute a commission given
me by the Paella." 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 the
Pacha ?"—Tho prisoner answered in the affirmative. " Did
she reply to 3ou in Turkish ?"—" Yes." " Are you certain
of that; reflect before you answer ?"—" Yes, I am certain
of it." " When you left for Varna did you not see this
girl ?"—" No." The prisoner accompanied his reply by
the word Wallah the usual Ottoman oath, but he was
told by the President that it was not necessary for him to
make use of oaths; all that was required of him was to
speak the truth. Kis answers, however, continued to be
extremely vague.
The President ordered Moustafa to b 3 brought in, and,
addressing him said, "You have hitherto been sincere in
the avowal of your crime. lam about to put some further
questions to you, reflect and reply candidly." The Prosi-
dent then alluded to the part of the former interrogatory
of Moustafa relative to his arrival at Varna, to which place
ho had been sent beforehand by Hussein, to ascertain whe-
ther Mehemmed had found an inn for Salih Pacha. None
had been found, but Hassan Pacha, governor, the to whom
Salih Paella had sent a letter, had kindly placed his house
at the disposal of his colleague. Tue 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 yon 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 ho done with this girl ?' " Was not
Mehemmed present with Hussein at the time ?'•—" Yes, he
was." To Mehemmed : "You have heard the declaration
of Moustafa; 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 presence of. Nedida." "It was you
who were sent to Varna to look for an inn for the pacha.
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, &c. ?"—" I
know nothing at all of all that." " We wish to know what
diiections 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 ?" "Iu a carriage ; but Ido not know
whore she got into it ; I did not see her."—lt appeared
clear from the manner of the prisoner that he knew better,
but would not or dared not speak tke truth, and ho was sent
back to prison. The President then ordered Hussein, the in-
tendant of the pacha, to be brought in, and commenced
his interrogatory. The prisoner appeared much altered
since his last appearance, and his countenance was that of
a man of the greatest brutality. " How long hadyou known
the Bulgarian girl before youleft Toultcha ?"—" For six or
seven days." " How did you first become acquainted with
her?"—" Mehemmed came to me one day and told me that
a girl wanted me, who had something to say to the paella.
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. Ills evidence was nothing mere than a recapitu-
lation of the facts stated by Moustafa as to the murder of
the girl. At the conclusion of his interrogatory tug court
again adjourned.

Some reports were circulated yesterday afternoon of a
probability of a new Russian loan for 50,000,000 roubles,
or about 8,000,000/. sterling, but they were believed to
be without foundation.
