The difficulty of collecting the elements on which to proportion
rreinium 'to risk in Insuranee against Loss by Fire has been so
great, that fhe rates at present charged'a re more the result of guess
than calculation.
It has been round ny experience, thatthe total annual losses of the
..lifferent Established Companies have not tie,•:n proportionat. to the
amount 01 annual Premiums received by each.
ft t$ of the higliezt importance., both to the Insured and insurers,
that suet' an anomsly..stiould cease, ;nut an apt roximation to the
true risk he inane. To secure this object the Equitable Fire Insu-
rance Comp.-in,- is established. ' •
The true rate of Predimin for- Fire Insaranee can only beap-
,,roached through Classification and Average. which has not 'hitherto
been sufficiently acted ~n, sir systein.ttically at' Iteci.
Whatever tx, the nominal rate, the or return pertolically to
the fissured will determine the true Premium equitably payable, as
security against visa tor so grelt a .calimity as lire, and the Insurer
se largely interested in this question, and will consult his Interest by
supporting a syStem where, by a car,ful combination of Ciamitlea-
tion and Nvenige, the Premium wilt be proportioned to the risk.
.'fbe Equitable Fire ()Nee will, sea constant anal, of Its own
expercrice, troin time to a4oot such rates 01 Premium as the,
nature of the risk may Justify, and will derline to enter into
,arratige
ments as regsrds tariff• with other offices.
With this view au annual investigaion• will be made into each
class of risk, and a return of one moiety, or fitly per cent. of the nett
excess will hem to all classes of Insurers whose Poheles have
been in force for three years.
Insurances atiainst Loss by Fire are effected by this Company upon
every description of Prmerty on moderate terms.

The triel :cientnenced bilore the Court of Assizes of
Tee: day, and was continued on the fallowing
day. We hare teeeived the following account of these
days' proceedings • The Cored wee crowded to excess,
and the excitement caused by the trial amongst all classes
el the population wasyvtikinely groat.
The Countess. de BooetitrroS, was first placed in the
dock; bhp was dressed blitek, arid is a handsome
woman. Her husband was next placed' near her; 'he- is
tell, good-looking and of aristocratic bearing. His
voice, it was noticed; resembled that of a boyof 15. Both
the accused, in answer to the President, stated their
names; said their age was 32, and their station in life.
that of proprietaires.
The indictment was then read. It set forth that, the
principal accused belongs to one of the frit families of
the province of Hainaut, and that in 1842-he Married
at Peruwelze Mademoiselle Fougnies, daughter Of a
ititired grocer. This female had a brother, named
Gustave, of weak health; bpd from the fir 4 the Count,
it appeared, bad formed the hope of inheriting the for-
tune to which he was entitled, and consulted a physician
as to his chances of living. On the 20th November
last, Gustave went to dine with his sister and brother-in-
law in their ceateau of Bitremont, and after dinner
he was found dead in the dining-room. A project had
been on fete for his marriage with a Mdlle. do Dudzeele,
And after his body was discovered the CounteSs ordered a
.leatestic to go and inform those two coquines, Madame de
Dudzeele and her daughter, that he bad died suddenly of:
apoplexy. But, on examination of the body, contusions
and scratches were found on the cheek and nose; and on
~he cheek, the tongue, in the throat, and the stomach
traces of a -corrosive liquid were discovered. The
Count having been subjected to an examination, it was
ascertained that one of his fingers bore the Mark of
having been bitten, and that his nails had a slight stain -
of red, as if uf blood causefil by a scratch on flesh. An
anal) sea of the contents -of deceased's stomach proved
,hat he had be-u poisoned by means of nicotine.. L;
was further ascertained that the Count during six
months had spent-much time in studying the quaities
of this poison, and that, a few days before the death of
Gustave, he had been in possession of, two phials of it,
which could not after Wards be found. The Countess,
ou being questioned, formal4y Accused her hushand of
having caused the death Of her brother, and after a while
the Ceral, himself admitted barite; distilLd the nicotine,
The indictment-went on to show mar, in marrying Mdlle.
Fougnies, tees Count had not obtained the fortune he had
~,xpewed, as he only received with her 2,000 P. a-year from
bwr father; his-own income was 2,400 t. But, notwith-
standing their resources were so small, they lived in
grand style,- and the Count kept a mistress. He bor-
rowed

aieen paid. In 1845, the father of his wife died, and left
her 5,000 f. • a-year; but their expenses continued to
increase, and they were obliged to melte sales of the pro-
perty from which the wife's ieceine was derived. They,
ito w ever, still 'remained considerably in debt, and were re-
duced .to-such,eXtreinity that the Count was obliged to
pledge some of his wtt'eh jewels for 400 f. in the Mont
de Pile at liruteels. Their only hope of salvation
from inns was the early death of the' brother without
heirs, but this- was destroyed by his avowed intention
of marrying. They attempted to prevent the mars
siege, and the - Countess wrote two. letters to her
brether, calumniating hie intended wife. Their
etfirtsi however, fatted. It was then that the Count
begsn to study the qualities of poisonous plants, and ese
pecnilly of nicotine. He made attempts to produce the
tatter, but, not having immediately succeeded, sought the
advice of a proles6or of chemistry. After ten days and, two
eights labour, he, in November last succeeded in. making
foe himself two phials of nicotine. A few days later, he, in
answer to his wiie'e gut stiung; admitted that he had been
making that poison, aiidsaid that he would tabs. care not to
sit " to do the business of Gustave?' Oa the 20th Gustave
arrived at the ct .eau in the morning, and the Countess
passed' the day with him with ait iuturming him of the
danger be was in. At dinner she, contrary to her usual
custom, sent her eldest daueli;er and the governess to
dine in thelaiter'a room. She also sent away her cotteh-
two ptiesowe frivolous,:pretesite, She ordered her maid,
Wili-o'V—as-i'VidiriirlUTC,l.Tor retire teller the second
service. This servant, En. since, having gone at dusk
to the dining room to ii,quire if lights were required,
was at,swereii, " No, lie," both by the Countess and her
hitsband. Shortly after another servant heard Gustave'
cry fir help troth the di:dog-room, isni exclaim, " Oh!
pardon, Ilippolytt Almost at the same moment she
saw tie Countess leave the dining-r,nm. and close tar
kitchen door, so as .apeatently to prevent the cries from
being heard.
The indictment then dwelt on the fact that as the
poison must have been fOrcibly administered to deceased,
it was impossible that it could have been done by only
one person. It next assorted that the Count-and Countess
were the only personeiti the dining-room at, the time the
cries of deceased were heard. It quoted a letter written
secretly in the prison on the I,:ltti March last by BoCitra 6
to a friend at Paris, in which ho charged his wife with
having committed the crime, and then attempting to
throw the whole guilt on him. It stated that he had
made the aims assertion to the gaoler.
The indictment further .proceeded to state that after
the murder the Countess had carefully caused to lae
wash,,d sorne.of the clothes of deceased and of her hue-
band; that she had had . his crutches (he"was
washed, 'And afterwards burned; and that she had also
burned his waistcoat and cravat. She, moreover,-. had-
caused the Lem of the dining-room to lae.e.carefulle
washed. The indictment concluded by stating. that she
had declared that if she had prepared or facilitated the
poisoning she had only done so because she had been
Rimed by her husband.

husband and herself, from which it appeared that they
were grealy embarrassed, she said that they, did not
live happily together, owing to his licentious habits
and his extravagance. He had occupied himself, in
1850, with the culture of venomous plants and had
mete her write for cliff-rent specimens of them under
assumed names. When she had remarked that that was

soner,

SECOND DAY.
•The President took the chair at half-past nine, and
continued the interrogatory of Mine. de Bocarme.
The President—You said yesterday that your husband
had told you to look at the victim and see whether the
nicotine bad rim from the _month?---Yes, he did so, but
I did not obey him, and he looked at me very savagely.
(M. de Bement e smiled at this reply.)
• Did _you not send for a medical man after the death
of Gustave?—Yes, Sir, I did so by desire of my husband.
Was not that done pour jouer la comedie ?—Probably
it was. (Madame de Bocarme here appeared to be much
embarrassed, and rumpled up her pocket handkerchief
in great agitation.)
Did the doctor remark that there were symptoms of
poisoning?—No, Sir.
Did not your husband take some warm water in order
to make him vomit?—Yes, Sir.
The President then ordered M. de Bocarm6 to stand
up, when the prisoner said, in reply to questions put to
him, that when he married Mlle. Fouguies, he was igno-
rant that the family had brought about the marriage
through ambition. He was to have received 2,000 f. a-
year from his father-in-law, but the first year was not
paid. In May, 1850, his pecuniary position was very
embarrassed; he had pledged some diamonds at Brussels
for 400 f. He had money due to him to the amount of
104,000 f. He owed 14,000 f. to a notary for money bor-
rowed.
Tee President—Did you not call on an avocet at
Brussels in October, 1850, to know whether, having
debts to the amount of 300,000 francs, you could not by
means of a fictitious sale get rid of those liabilities?—l
wished to know whether, having such debts, I could
leave my property to my children.
The President (to Mme. de Bocarme)—l have put
questions to your husband, founded on what you said in
your preliminary examination—has he given a true
answer?—No, Sir, he has not stated things as they ac-
tually took place.—(Sensation.)—What I have before
stated was the truth.
To further questions put by the President,
• M. de Bocarme stated that he had never coveted the
property of any one; he was not at at ail tempted by the
tortune of Gustave. He might be reproached with pro-
digelity but nut with avarice. His reason for consulting
a medical man as to 'Oho probable duration of the life of
Gustave, was that he had been requested to do so by
an aunt of his brother-in-law. He had never used any
violence towards his wife, nor had he ever struck her
with his fists. He had had a very angry discussion with
her one day, but he had never struck her. (The female
prisoner here shed tears.)
The President—Did you ever seize your wife by the
throat?—No, Sir.
Did not oie. Chereguefosse tell you that if you did
not change your conduct you would come to the scat.-
fold ?—No, Sir.
Did you not, on one occasion, drag your wife along
the ground in the garden?—No, Sir; what took place
was this. My wife one day spoke to a domestic in the
passage, and ordered him to go and polish the floor in
her bedroom. I objected to this, and she put herself
into a violent Fission.
In reply to further questions pct by the President, he
admitted that he had had criminal connexion with a
girl named Celestine Legrin, by whom ho had a child.
He had never compelled his wife to receive this fruit of
his illicit connexion at the chateau. She willingly con-
sented to do so. . •
The Presidens ,to Uwe. delloottatielee-Wene you not
compelled to seceive this child?—Yes, Sir, tie-dld me
alit unless I did so he would have a separation.
From the further replied of the prisoner, it appeared
that he had ceused his wife, but without violence, to
sign a letter by which she consented to receive the child
in question.
During this part of the interrogatory, Mme. de Be-
came (levered her face with her hand, in order to screen
herself from the view of the auditory.
The female prisoner, in reply to a further question of
the prisoner, declared that sue had been compelled to
sign the letter.
The interrogatory then turned on the chemical studies
of M. do Became. He said that since 1842 he had not
occupied himself with chemical experiments, and had
got rid of his instruments, but he had since studied
poisonous plants.
The President—What was your object for so doing?
—I wished to go and rejoin my father in America, to
carry on business in such plants. It was for that reason
that I put myself in communication with some dealers
at Ghent.
The President—Did you not cause your wife to write
to these dealers, and sign your name?—Yes; I thought
I might do so, as she was my wife. My object in study-
ing the nicotine was to discover the best quality of to-
baccoe which was proved by the quantity of nicotine it
contained. I thought that study might be useful to my
father, who- cultivated tobacco in America.
The President—la the division of property which you
lately made with your brother you expressed a wish to
retain the chateau of Bitremont—that did not look eel
if you had any intention of quitting Belgium.—l wished
to leave my property here to my wife and children.
Did you not purchase, in May, 1850, the chemical
works of M. Orfila and M. Reynault?—l did, Sir, in
Order to study the qualities of poisonous plants.
In reply to further questions. from the President, he
said that he had entered into correspondence with a cop-
persmith at Ghent, in order to procure some vessels of
which he was in want. Ho had, on that occasion, as-
sumed the name of Bei:an, under the idea that he might
obtain the articles cheaper than if he had given his real
name. He had consulted M. Lobens on the manner of
extracting poison from plants, and requested him to give
him some lessons in chemistry. M. Lobens know him
by the name of Urea, as the coppersmith had introduced
him
.to that gentleman by that name, not knowing him
by ,any other.
The President—How much nicotine did you extract
from the quantity of tobacco which you purchased?
-About seven phials full.
For what purpose did you intend that nieotine?—lt
was the result of my experiments.
I ask you to what purpose you intended it?—l have
already told you, Sir.
N,o- You have not done so. I now ask you where
you put those phials?—l put them by.
For, what purpose, I again ask, did you intend them?
—With a view to the trade in tobacco.
In reply to further questions, the prisoner said that
he had placed the phials in a cupboard; that he some-
times carried the key in his pocket, and at other times
left it on the mantel-piece of the saloon; that he was
not aware whether any one knew where he had put those
phials, but it was possible they might, and that he had
emptied them when the apparatus was cleaned.
The President here observed, that the prisoner, on
his preliminary examination before the examining ma-
gistrate, had spoken of only three phials, whereas he
now mentioned seven.
The President—You told your servants, while you
were extracting this nicotine, that you were making Eau
do Cologne, and charged them not to speak of it, as you
might be fined for distilling without having a patente.
Did you not also tell your wife that you wished to get
rid of Gustave Fouginea?—lt is an infamous calumny.
I cennol conceive how my wife can maintain such an as-
sertion. It I Lad wished to poison her brother, should
I have said so tench toiler who loved him?
You did Dot then like him?--I felt an indifference
towards him.
The ins rrogatory now turned on the fact of the pri-
soneror having tried the effect of the nicotine on one
more cats, and, in reply to a question of the President,
the prisoner said that he had poisoned a cat belonging to
the château, and another which he first said hits wife
had brought to him for that purpose, and afterwards
that she had employed a woman in the neighbourhood to
get it. .

On Mdme. de Booarn:6 being questioned as to whe-
ther she had ever taken a cat to her hush; end, or
ordered one to be procured for him, she positi suly de-
nied it.
The sitting was here suspended for a short atie. On
its being resumed,
The Preeedent, addressing the male prisoner , said—lt
is evident that a strong feeling of hatted was te de by you
against your brother-in-4w; a letter written ksy your
mother proves this fact. She says, " I deeply regret
the ditougsions which take place between. you. your
wife, and klippolyte; there is nothing in the vrorid so
deplorable as dissensions and discussions betwe en bro-
thers and sisters."
1 The prisoner--That was a recorareendatiost given by
. my mother to Gustave ; but there were noel say dis-
cussions.
The President—You know that your
wife a cruses you.
How can you account for the accusations • ahich she
brings against you?—My wife fears to epee ik the truth
from a dread of being compromised; she dot t.s not wish
it to be known how her brother died.
But how can you suppose it possible for y our wife to
here a heart barbarous and • h uman no% ;h to accuse

„ .
far him!”
The accused then stated that her husband had tried
his poisons on animals, and especially on a
cat,
which
bad died.
The President—Oa the.2oth November. the day on
which your brother died, did you tv..t inform your husband
of his arrival ?—Yes, and he said that ho would do his
business lur hitn—that it WAS his last day.—(Seniation.)
What did you say then ?—I said that it was abomin•
able—that he could not do such a thing. "Eh be an
SWered me, .• wryare unfortunate, and will you make our
children poor ?" •
That was his reply? —Yes sir. Ever since our mar-
riage he had calculated on inheriting the fortune of my
brother, and had consulted physicians relative to the
health of Gustave.
Had Gustave ann.uneed his marriage to you two days
before the 20th?—Yes, sir. I had at first opposed it on
&cermet of his health, but- seeing him resolved, I said
nothing more.
The accuard then said that, on the 20th, she had sent
the governess to dine in her own room, because she, her
husband, and her brother had some business affairs to
discuss. Her children had ceased to dine at her table
some time (Aare. The coatihmatt had been ordered to
go on a message, not at dinner time, but early in the
morning. Shy tied her husband had partaken of the same
dishes and wines as her brother. The conversation at
table was triendly. She had not passrd some time
before the dinner in couvorsation with her brother. She
had ordered the servant En-ASance to retire after. the
sec nd serviv, because business affairs had to be ,dis-
cussed. The dinner was over at half-past four. She,
her husband, and brother had then convened by'the

fireside. •
The President—When Emiirance came to ask if
you did not require candles, did you not tell her to go
up to the children?--I do not recollect.
Did your huaband not go out to order a tilbury to be
got ready for your brother?—Gnstave wished to leave, •
When your flu:hand returned to the dining-room lon
were conversing with your brother ?—Yes.
Did not y, ur husband then rush on him, and knock
him down2—Y, /3, sir; and ran away. I, however, saw
j my husband Italic him by the shoulders, and heard the body
of Gustave fall on the floor.
Describe the pogi oil —My husband took him by the
shoulders; that is all I saw.
Did not Gustave toy," Oh, oh! pardon, Hippoly te ?"
I was not in the dining-room, but in an adjoining room;
I was terrified. I had closed the door, in order not to hear
the cries. Hippolyte opened the door of the dining-
room • I heard +he death-rattle in the throkt—at !east I
fat so. My husband told me to bring him him some
warm N a7er. Eni.:!rftnee then came down stairs,
and I
told her to go b...ck to the children. She held one of
the children by the hand. I took the warm water to
my husband. and then went to fetch some culd water. I
did not see him drink.
Did you tot then wash your bands with some black
soup?—No, sir, it was a later period I did so. •
In what state was your husband?—Ilia hair was in
disorder, and ho was great!), agitated,
I).d you ark him the cruse of his agitation?—Yes,
aid he did riot reply, but be made a singular gesture;
his clothes Oltdt strongly.
Did not Buciaxca shortly after give you a glass of
