sary to fix the time of the persons departure. As it can-
not be produced I will proceed with examination.
Mr. Hollis, sen., cross-examined by the Attorney-
Ge❑eral—l am a manufacturer of revolving fire-arms in
Birmi❑gham. On the 29th of October two gentlemen
came and purchaeed a brace of revolving pistols. I
have since seen Orsini and Pierri in the prison of La
Rocquette. They were the persons who bought the
fire-arms. The pistols produced are the same. I
identified them by the numbers on each. When I saw
Orsini he bad shaved his beard off. Pierri had made no
alteration in his personal appearance.
Cross-examined by Mr. James—Revolving pistols are
commonly used by every officer in the army. Revolving
pistols are not an American invention. I cannot say
bow many hundreds of revolving pistols are manu-
factured at our establishment daring a year.
M. Theodore Lasalle, examined by the Attorney-
General—l am director of the prison of La Roquette.
Four persons were in my custody after their c)ndemna-
tion for the attempt to assassinate the Emperor Na-
poleon. Their names were Ors ni, Pierri, Gomez, and
R,udio. I was present when Orsini and Pierri were pointed
ow to Mr. Hollesand his son. I pointed out Orsini to other
persons who saw the other prisoners, including Madame
Brien, M. Estien, M. Deviemes, M. Granger, and M.
Oatrequin. I became acquainted with the handwriting
of Orsini. The documents put into my hands are in the
handwriting of Orsini.

Cros- examined by Mr. James—The prison of La
Roquette is tho place where all prisoners condemned to
death are taken. It is opposite the place of execution.,
Orsini and Pierri were executed on the 13th of March

at seve❑ in the morning. Radio's name was not in the
warrant. The Monday after, Rudio was called before
the authorities to receive lettres du grace. The prefec-
ture of police Is the proper oerson to receive state-
ments from persons condemned to death. The
principle officer of police has had interviews
with Rudio. He wrote to the prefecture of
police. None of the police, to my knowledge, have
seen him since his condemnation. To the best of my
belief, Rudio is still a prisoner in France. He was when
I left. I have received no orders from the English
Government to bring him to Londor. I saw Orsini
write his will. It was forwarded to the Procureur of
Police. It was written before the day of his execution.

On tl e 10th (three days before his death) he also wrote
a letter to the Emperor. On the Thursday before his
death, only one letter was written. I have not seen the

letter since.
The Attorney-General—You have been asked if orders
were given by the English Government for any of the
French to come to London. Did you receive any such
orders?

Witness---I did not. The prefect of the police would
be the person to whom such orders would be sent. I
received my orders to attend from the prefect.
George Stephen King, examined by Mr. Welsby—
I am a clerk to the South-Eastern Railway Company.
I am s'ationed in Regent-circus. On the 24 of January
the prisoner came to the office and brought a l.acbage
covered with canvass. It was addressed "M. Outre-
quin, 277, Rue St. Denis, Paris." He was asked
what it contained, and he said a pair of revolvers,
valued at 12/, I asked him to sign the usual de-
claration, but he said " I think I had better not
do that, my name is known as a procrit, and it might
cause the detention of the parcel. I made an entry of
the parcel in a book. He said the money for the car-
riage was quite safe, as the person to whom the packet
was addressed was highly respectable. He then asked
me what time the trains left on the following day for
Paris, and I gave him the particulars, and I said,
" Monsieur Bernard, are you going to Paris ?"
He said, "No, I shall go there when the other ore
comes back." At the same time he pointed over his
shoulder. I said I hoped that would be a long time
first, and be then said, " Wait a little time and you'll
see." He then pointed to a tricolour flag which was fly-
ing outside one of the houses in the Circus, and said,
" Votre bonne alla," your good ally. The oilcloth
covering produced by M. Estieu is the same as was on
the parcel. It bore the company's seal.
Cross•examined by Mr. James. I knew the prisoner
very well. I frequently bad conversai.ions with the
prisoner on matters of bu,iness. I never talked
politics with him. I did not see the prisoner
before be brought the bus to the office. When
he came to the office be placed the box on the
counter, and said it contained a pair of revolvers, valued

when he came. He was shown up to our room. The
first thing he asked was whether I was Mrs. Rudio, and
whether my husband had got employment. I told him
he had not, and he then said be was very sorry, but that
he would see after him. He gave me two shillings, and
afterwards inquired about my husband. I told him he
would be at home at about half-past four o'clock. He
then said he would call again that night between ten
and eleven. He asked about a bell, and I told him he
must ring twice for us, and he then said when he came
my husband was to go down to- him. Notliog more
passed on this occasion. He went away, and did not
say what he came about. Between ten and eleven I
heard the bell ring twice, and my husband being at home
he went down stairs. He was away from the room
about ten minutes or a quarter of an hour. On one seen,
sion when the hell rang tw:ce my husband went down
and returned to our room with some money. This was
about a day or two after the first visit of the prisoner. It
was at night. When my husband carne up stairs he
brought 15s. with him. On another occasion the pri-
sonPr came, but my husband was ant. It was about
nine at night. He came up to my room. He
asked me if my husband had got any clothes. I
said not many. He asked if he had got stockings and
shirts. I said he had only got enough for a change. He
asked if he had a coat. I told him he bad, but it was in •
pledge. He then asked if he had trousers and
waistcoat. I said no ; and he then said he
would get my husband some clothes. He asked
me how my husband carried his luggage about when
he travelled? I showed him his box, and the
prisoner said it was too large, and he would buy him a
carpet-bag. Oa this occasion he gave me half-a-sove-
reign, saying it was to get coals with, and something to
go on with. He told me to tell my husband, when he
My husband returned home in about half an hour after
the prisoner had hit. I told him what had taken place,

and showed him the half-sovereign. Oa another evening
in that week I heard a ring, and my husband went down
to the door. I looked out of the window, and saw a man
like the prisoner, but I can't say it was him. My hus-
band left home on a Saturday. I never saw him again
in this country.
[At this point one of the jurymen was taken ill, and
had to leave the box. In a short time a melical gentle-
man said it woull not be advisable to detain the jury-
man longer than the examination of the present witness
occupied.]

suggestion. The court shall he better ventilated to-

at 121. He gave his true name and addrfir,s. I might
have said there had been difficulty in the office in send-

log a parcel r f books to a refugee in Switzerland through
Paris. I will not swear I did not say so. The difficulty
arose owing to two books having been taken out of the
parcel. I don't recollect the name of the party who sent
the bArks. I cannot ray that I told Dr. Bernard
that the difficulty was caused by the French
police. I understand by the term, " when the ethgr
comes back," that the prisoner referred to the Empercr.
I don't know whore the tricolour was a hen Dr. Ber,ard
alluded to it. It might, have been in a Hampton Court
pleasure van, even though it was is January, for all I
know to the contrary.
The Court here adjourned for a short time.

lam a dealer in silks. I have known the prisoner
Bernard since 1354. I recollect on one occasion the pri-
soner spoke to me with regard to some particular dye for
silk. He asked me for a pattern to experiment upon,
and knowing he was acquainted with chemistry I gave
him what be required. This took place in London in
1854. I have since correspoaded with him commercially.
I recollect his introducing an English gentleman to me
of the name of Hodge. He came to Paris on a visit.
The prisoner also introduced another Englishman to me.
His name was Alliop. I have since seen the person the
prisoner introduced to me as Alisop in the prison of La
Roquette. It was Orsini. It was after his condemna-
tion, ono day before his execution. Tile letter banded to
me is the one in which Orsini was introduced to me
unler the name of Allsop. It is in the handwriting of
the prisoner Bernard, as far as I can say.
(The letter was here read by the interpreter. II was
a letter of introduction, speaking of the bearer as a good
English friend of his who had arrived in Paris to spend
a few pounds, and requested that witness would give all
the assistance he could to the bearer.)
Examination of witness continued—T:3e person I then
know as Alltop brought the letter to me himself. It was
Orsini.

The examination of the witness was then proceeded
with—Before my husband left EtiOand the prisoner
gave me ten shillage to get my husband's coat
ar.d waistcoat out of pledge. I dil not find
the prisoner in my roena when I returned from the
pawnbroker's. He (prisoner) came about nine o'clock
that evening, and I left him and my husband
together for about five minutes. When I returned I
heard the prisoner say to my husband, " go away
in the morning." I heard them talking together in a
foreign language. Tue prisoner told me to fetch a pint
of ale, and I did so. When I returned the prisoner and
my husband were still in conversation. Bernard wrote
sever d notes, but I cannot say what they were. I did not
see whether he gave them to my bu.band. My husband
want out and fetched a carpet bag. The prisoner said be
would give me 12-e a week while my husband was away.
He sail he would bring it every Monday night. On
the evening before Bernard came we had to money, hut
efrer be left I saw some foreign coins on the table. One
piece was like our crown, and the other was like a half-
sovereign. I did not hear the name of the street or place
to which my husband was going, but I heard him
say some hirg about "277." I heard the prisoner say
to my husband, "when you get te the end of the jour-
ney you will find somebody you know." I had no know-
ledge cf where he had gone until I saw something in
the newspapers. My husband left London on a Satur-
day, about 9 o'clock in the morning. He took the car-
pet bag with him. Ho bad only the clothes he had on.
I don't keow that he had anything in the carpet bag.
I saw a passport in his le, seession.
:Mr. James—Can you read ?
Witness—Not well.
Cross-Examination by Mr. Washy continued—My
husband read me some part of the passport. The docu-
ment shown to me is like the paper I speak of, but I
canuot tell whether it is the same. I believe the word
shown to me on the paper is in my husband's hand.
writing. I cannot tell what it is ; I can't spell it. On
the morning after my husband left I went to the Cafe
Suisse. I did not see the piisouer. I left a note for
him. My husband wrote it before he lef . On the fol-
lowing day I saw the prisoner in Bateman'e-bulldinge.
He was waiting for me. I toll him I had been to the
Cafe Suisse, and we then went up,tairs. On that occa-
sion he gave me 10,s. Ho told me to get plenty c f clothes
and w amain as my bueband would soon be home again. He
told me he had had a letter from re y husband, in which
he said so. On the following Monday he came to Bate-
man's.buildings and gave me 10s., and told me I must
leave the place. He allied me if I had not a grand-
mother in the country, and I said yds. He asked me
where, and I said in Nottingham. He asked if there
was a train to that place that day ; I told him no ; and
he then asked at what hour the train left in the
morning, and I told him half-past seven. Ho said
I must go liy that time, and said if I heard anything in
the papers about my husband I was to take no notice of
it. Ile then gave me a sovereign over the railway fare,
which was 10s. 83. He asked it I would sooner go to
my mother at Godahninge I said no, and he then
said I was not to tell any person where I was going.
He said be would send me a fortnight's money
on tthe foliowirg Monday. He then asked
what my maiden name wee, and I told him Booth. He
:aid I was to go in that name after I got down to Not-
tingham, and that the money•orders would be made out
in thet name. The letter was to be directed to the post-
office, and to be left till called fir. He asked me if I
had told anybody where he lived, and I said no.
When he spoke to me about my husband's name ap-
pearing in the newspapers, I asked for what reasoa his
Dame should be in the papers, and he did not make me
any answer. He told nee if anybody asked me about
my husband to say, "I knew he was very well." I
did not understand what he meant. I started for Notting-
ham in the morning, as arranged. I gave up the lodgings
in Beteman'e-buildings, and when I arrived at Notting-
ham I went by my proper name, Eliza Rudio. Before
I left London I got a letter from my husband. Mrs.
Fay, one of the lodgers read it to me. I don't know
what has become of the letter. I have endeavoured to
find it, in company with Sergeant Smith, but I have not
done so. The letter shown to me I believe came to me
at Nottingham. I had returned to London, and the
letter was sent after me. I stayed in Nottingham six
days.
Mr. Powell was here recalled. The letter the witness
speaks of is in the handwriting of the prisoner, to the
best of my belief.

Mr. James—My lord, I am desired to inform your

ance of the sick juryman any longer.
Lord Campbell—Then we will adjourn immediately.
Mr. James—Perhaps your lordship will inform us
how we arc to proceed at the termination of the trial with
respect to the points reserved. Whether we are to argue
them at length, or merely hand in our objections.
Lord Campbell—The objectioas must be simply
handed in. They will be reserved fur the consideration
of the 15 judges in the Court of Criminal Appeal.-
The proceedings were then adjourned till'to-morrow
morning at 10 o'clock.

(Another letter addressed to witness was here read.
It requested him to endeavour to dispose of come
magnificent revolvers e hich he was about to consign
to him.)
Examination c'ntinued Hodge delivered this
letter to me personally. I received the letter now shown
to me a short time before I received the parcelcontainine
the pistols. I afterwards received a package. The oil
cloth produced formed the cover. P. contained two re•
volver pistols in cases. I can't swear that the pistols
produced are the same. Allsop (Orsini) cane on the
day I received the pistols. He spoke to me of the letter
in which Bzreard requested that the pistols might be
given to him. Orsini said I was to sell them and not
pay any regard to what Bernard said about them in his
letter. I acc inlingly kept them with the intention of
selling them. Orsini called upon nee about every day to
ask me if I had sold the pistols. Not having succeeded
in disposing of the pistols Alkop (Orsini) toots one a vay
in the case. I did not deliver the other pistol myself.
It was taken away in my absence. After Allsop (Orsini)
had taken away the pistol he called on me one Sunday
and we went to the Hotel de France et Campagne. It
was the Sunday before the attempt. The reason I went
with him was that he asked me to direct him to the
hotel, and being disengaged I went with him to show
him the place. He told me he expected to make one of
his German friends take the pistols. The name of his
friends he said was Pierri. I afterwards saw Pierri at
No. 10, Rue Montabor, Allsop's (Oreini's) lodgings, but
I don't recollect the day. Previous to the attempt All-
snp (Or.ini) called sever .l times at my house. The last
time I saw Orsini was the Sunday previous to the attack
on the life of the Emperor. I was repaid by Alisop
(Orsini) for carriage of the pistols 25f. 55c., and also 20f.
or 25f. which I had given to the man for drink.
Cross-examined by Mr. James—A piece of pitch or
coal was in the parcels, it was addressed to " 111. Cavail •
lon." I don't know such a person. The pitch and eietols
arrived in the same parcel. It seemed to have been
opened at the custom-house. When Orsini came to get
the first box containing the pistols I was from home. He
said I was to pay no attention to the directions of Bernard
with respect to tha destination of the pistol. I had
tried to dispose of the pistols. I never refused to allow
Orsini to twee one of the pistols away. I am no judge
of pistols. I am certain each of the pistols had five
chambers. I was not arrested by the police. I was
not threatened with arrest. I was examined at my own
house by a person belonging to the prefecture of police.
