Emperor Napoleon, was this afternoon again p'aced at

and the passages leading to the interior being crowded
with persons, mostly foreigners, anxious to be present
during the investigation.
Bodkin, on the part of the Treasury, appeared
for the prosecution, and Mr. Sleigh, instructed by Mr.
Leverson, defended the prisoner.

-stree. It assiknowstil keeping the Café
the prisoner Ber-
nard. I have known him some time. I first knew him
in Brussels, in 1849, but I have not seen him in Lon-
don until the 16th of October, when he canoe in the
ordinary way to the café I left London in Decem-
ber last for Brussels. I saw Bernard there two or three
days before I left. I recollect the prisoner asking me about
gas. He asked me if I knew anybody connected with gas
administration. I said I knew a Mr. Bremacker, a gentle-
man connectel with the gas works in Brussels ; and he then
said he should like to see this gentleman, as he had a now
invention applicable to gas. He did not sayanything fur-
ther that day, but on the following evening he brought five
pieces of iron, they were round--like an orange cut in two
--half a ball. They were hollow, there was nothing in
them. Theie was .a hole in them for a screw. I did not
try to screw them together, bat they appeared to me they
would fit each other.

Mr. Bodkin—Did you see small holes in them beside
the one for screw.
Mr. Sleigh objected to the question. It was leading
the witness.
The Magistrate—l think you can hardly object to the
question.
The Witness— There were a number of small holes besides
the one I have mentioned. Bernard gave me the balls to
take to Brussels for a new invention in gas. He said,
" Take them to Brussels. An Englishman, who is at
Li.ge, will fetch them away in my name." I took them
with me in my carpet bag. On the Saturday following
this conversation I left London for Ostend and took the
balls with me in a carpet beg. I saw Barnard taking his
coffee in my house whoa I left. in did not say anything
to me. On my arrival in Brussels I went to the Cafe
Suisse. I arrived there about half-past nine. When I
arrived I carried the balls to the cafe.: I placed them in
the smoking-room, on a table, with qty coat and other
things. After supper I opened my carpet bag to take out
a handkerchief, and at the same time I took out the five
half balls and placed them on the mantel-shelf. I know
Mr. Regensz ; he saw those half balls on the shelf, and he
afterwards took them in his hand. Some days after Ber-
nard arrived in Brussels. Ho went into tho room where
the half balls were. He asked me where the balls wore,
and I pointed to thorn on the shelf. He said they must
not remain there, as it was a new invention for gas. I
removed there in consequence of that observation and
placed them in my bedroom. After this conversation
Bernard left the house. Tn a day or two after this Ber-
nard came again to the cafe. He said he had
come for the gas balls—that ho wanted them as he was
going to the Column-gate. I wrapped them up in a piece
of newspaper for him, and he left. It was about half-past
3or 4 o'clock in the afternoon when this occurred. Some
few days after Bernard returned and brought the balls
with him, and also another ball in his hand wrapped np
in paper. The !substances in the paper were larger than
those I took from England. They were of the same shape.
Referring to the paper parcel, he said, " They were made
in the country."
no spoke again about the invention for
gas, and said one clay ha would make acquaintance with
M. Bromacker.ll never went with him to that gentlemar.
He never made any further application for an introduc-
tion, but said when he came back to Brussels he would bo
glad to make his accinair,tance. He shortly afterwards
told me he was going to London, and the balls Were re-
placed in my room.
Mr. Jardine—The large as well as the small?
Witness —Yes.
Mr. Bo akin —Did Bernard tell
Witn.:Es —He told me to put them inou what you were to do
with them ?, y
my room, and give
them to a person who would tako them home to Paris. He
had previously told me he should require a horse to be
hind for an Englishman. I had in my service in the
cafe at Brussels a waiter named Caseimer Zaighers.
It was ultimately arranged between
myself and Ber-
nard that this person was to go to Paris with the
horse. After the arrangement was made he visited the
cafe, but not frequently. On the day following the con-
versation about the horse the Englishman arrived and I
was sent for into the saloon. On entering I found Bernard
there. Another person was at one of the other tables.
Bernard said, pointing to the person,
"This is the English-
men." This person was M. Oraini, I have; knovi n him from
coming to the Cafe Suisse in Tichborne-street. At this
time he wore a long beard, but when I saw him on the oc-
casion I have spoken of in Brussels he had large whiskers,
but no board. Orsini asked me if I had lett London, and
I told him I had, and Orsini then said he was going to
Paris. Bernard and Orsini then shortly afterwards quitted
the house together.
Mr. Bodkin—As they were going out did they say any-
.thing about the balls s
Mr. Sleigh—l object to the leading of the witness.
Mr. Jardine—The question is
quite regular.
Witness—Bernard said Give - the bells to Calsimer who
is to take them to- Paris," Orsini said he had to be at Paris
that day at half-past five at the Hotel de l'Europe. I in-
troduced Cassirner to M. Orsini when the hour for his de-
parture was fixed upon. I put the balls into the carpet
bag, but one of them by accident was left behind. He
left about a quarter past five and returned to Brussels on
following Sunday

Mr. Sieigh —I object to further questions on this point
until they aro identified as being connected with the pri-
soner.
Mr. Jardine—The examination hal better go on.
Witness—The one with tho black beard gave me a piece
of paper, and in consequence of that I gave him the ball,
