Louis Francoise Delignie, gunmaker, residing in Par',B,
examined by Attorney-General--I withdrew the cbarge
from the grenade produced. It was filled with ful'oainate
of mercui7, which was composed of nitric acid and
alcohol. '

Mi. Bodkin—Who gave you directions t _', make them?
Mr. James—l object to that question.

Lord Campbell ruled the question should be answered.
Witness—The person who gave the directions was
about 60 years of age. His name was Thomas Allsop.
Ho was dull of hearing. The grenades were made fr,rn
wooden models he brought. I did not make the nipples
of the grenade, but I procured three dozen from a gun-
.naker. There were 25 in each shell. When I saw A11,,0p
on the 23d Nov., in Birmingham, the shells were com-
pleted. The nipples were screwed in. I delivered the
six shells to him, and he paid me the cost, Si.
The witness was here shown the fragments of one
of the shells that exploded on the 14th in Paris, and he
identified them as forming pieces of one of the large
grenades he made for Allsop.
Mr. George Morison, a conveyancer, residing at
Reading—l know Mr. Thomas Allsop of Nutfield.
A. letter written to the witness Taylor, ordering the
grenadee, was shown to witness, and he identified it as
Allsop's hand writing.
Jonathan Whicher, examined by the Attorney-Gene-
ral—l have, in obedience to orders, made efforts to dis-
cover Mr. Thomas Allsop, but I have not been success-
ful. I applied at his last known place of residence in
Clapham-terrace, but he was not to be found.
The Attorney-General—Have you seen bills offering
rewards for his apprehension ?
Mr. James—What has that to do with the:case? Mr.
Allsep's name does not occur in the indictment. It is
clearly but to prejudice the case against the prisoner.
The Attorney-General—l only want to show Allsop
is absent. I dont want to carry the point further.
Sergeant Rogers of the metropolitan police, examined
by the Attorney-General—On Sunday the 7th of March
I searched the prisoner's lodgings at Bayswater. I
found a letter dated the Ist of January. I found it on
the floor. The latter put into my hand is that docu•
ment. Thera is some writing at the foot of the letter.
I believe:it to be in the handwriting if Dr. Bernard.
By Mr. James, Q.C.—I have seen Bernard write
once. It was at Scotland-yard Police-station. That is
the only time I had an opportunity of looking at his
hand writing. I did not find the letter in a book.
_ _

Mr. Powell—l have received a letter from Dr. Ber-
nard. I believe the writing at the foot of the letter
placed in my hands to be that of the prisoner's.
[Toe letter in question Wfb3 one purporting to be writ-
ten to the prisoner by Mr. Alleop.]
Mrs. Barker, the landlady of the house in which the
prisoner resided at Bayswater, examined by the Attor-
ney-General—The prisoner resided at my house for
about six years.

Cross-examined by Mr. James—The police, when
they came, searched every corner of Dr. Bernard's
r,min. One of the policemen, widressing the other,
said, " Here, I have found a letter." I did not
know where he found it, but he said -he found it in a
book lam certain he said he found the 1, tter in a book.
The words he used were, " Here, I've found a letter with
Alisop's name upon i.." Rogers is the man who told
we he had found the letter. He said the letter ought to
have been produced at first.
Rogers recalled—The person who went with me to
the prisoner's lodgings is not a policeman. He is my
uncle, and went up stairs with me out of curiosity.
By Mr. James, Q.C.—My uncle is office-keeper to
the General Omnibus Company at Bayswater. He does
not go about with me. The prisoner had been in custody
about three weeks, and he (my uncle) wished to see the
prisoner's room purely out of curiosity.
The Court adjourned at half-past four until to-mor-
row.
