During the few days intervening between their assem-
bling in Paris and the night of the attempt, Orsini,
Pierri, Rudio, and Gomez were constantly together, and
between twelve and half-past one o'clock on the 14th
three of them, if not the four, were in council, and the
Isame again at five o'clock in the afternoon, at Pierri's
lodgings. At half-past six o'clock the whole assembled
in Orsini's lodgings, and left about that time, Gomez
being seen carrying something heavy in a pocket hand-
kerchief. About the time of the expected arrival of the
Emperor and the Empress at the Opera-house a large
conceureo of perscns bad assembled, atnong.t whom was
Pierri, who was suspected and apprehended, and on
being searched a grenade, filled with fulminating
powder, and a five-barrelled revolver were found upon
him. After referring to the explosion of the three
grenades thrown, the loss of life, and the consternation
which prevailed, the learned counsel detailed the appre
hension of Orsini, Rudio, and Gomez. Intelligence
having been received in this country of strong suspicion
against the prisoner be was apprehended, and he now
stood before them to answer the facts he (the Attorney-
General) had laid before them, which, he contended,
completely proved the charge that the prisoner at the
bar was a party to the outrage of the 14th of
January last, which caused the death of, and seriously
injured, so many persons. Grave questions of law
were, he understood, to be raised ; first, whether
the prisoner was a. subject of this country under the act
of Parliament, and whether, if this was a murder, that
the prisoner could be punished under this act. When
the time came he should be prepared to argue the points,
and he believed successfully, either then, or, if reserved
for the opinion of the whole of the judges.
Lord Campbell said that any points of law raised,
would be reserved for the consideration of the 15j udges,
and if the prisoner was found guilty judgment would be
postponed till then. Toe counsel ter the prisoner would
also have au opportunity of referring to the proceedings
nailer the commis-ion.

The Attorney-General said if there should be any
peiot of Nw raised, however it might be opposed to
justice, he would be the last man to urge that the pri-
soner should not have the benefit of it.

The Court then adjournel fora quarter of an hour.
On resuming,
The interpreter was sworn.

Jules Frangois Alphonse Granger, examined by Mr.
Macaulay—l am an inspector of the French police. On
the 14th of January I was on duty at the Opera house,
on the occasion of the visit of the Emperor and Empress.
They arrived at the opera at about 8 in the evening,
escnrted by a small body of Lancers. The streets were
full of people. I heard three explosions of grenade.;
when they ,ere rear the door. Several persons were
wounded. Two grenades or bombs were first thrown. I
knew it by the explosion. I was wounded myself. The
third was thrown about a minute after the others.
Twenty minutes after I found a fragment of a grenade
on the other side of the street opposite the opera, which
I now produce.

Cross-examined by Mr. Jamss—l am inspector of the
French police. I was not present at Orsini's trial. I
saw Rudio in:priBon in Paris the day before Orsini's exe-
cution. I know Rudio's life is spared. 1 have not re-
ceived any communication from the Emperor or any ono
else to bring Radio here. I heard of hie coming here
since I have been in London, but I don't know if he is
here. Several persons were apprehended on the night of
14th Jan. I went with a lady and gentlema❑ to the
French prison in order to identify Rudio. I have not
seen Gomez since the execution.

M. Kieller—l was on Vduty on the night of 14th Jan.
in the Rue Lepelletier. lam one of the guard of Paris.
Another guard was at my left at that time. On the
arrival of the Emperor's carriage, I heard an explosion.
Immediately after the explosion the body of Battie, the
guard alluded to, fell into the gutter. I saw blood
fLiwing from the left eye. Battle was taken up and
carried into a hotel near the spot. I took him to the
hospital i❑ a carriage, where his body was examined, a
wound on the left breast and also on the right arm was
then discovered. Ile died in 24 hours. I did not see
the dead body. 1 did ❑ot attend his funeral. The order
came to the barracks that be was dead.

Cross-examined by Mr. James—l had known Battle
four or five months. He was a Frenchman, and was in
the FreLoh police. I am a simple guard—a private
policeman.
Eruyre, student of the hospital to which Battie
was taken, deposed that he saw several wounded men
at the hospital on the 14 h January. Battie was amongst
them. He died on the evening of the 15th. Battie was
wounded in the forehead, left breast, and arm, besides
six others of no importance. Nothing was extracted
before his death, because he was dying when brought in ;
but on the po-t ruorten examination I extracted a piece
of a proj, ctile from the forehead, the left breast, and also
from the right arm. The one from the breast 1 produce.

The wounds in the head and breast were mortal.

Claude Petit Jean, sergeant-major of the Paris guard,
al-o deposed to the death of Battle.
Cross-examined—l was not on duty at the opera on
the 14th January. I knew the Emperor was going to
the opera that flight. I knew it about half-past 6 o'clock
from the prefecture of police. He sendg word to the
barracks when the Emperor is going out. The Em-
peror goes sometimes three or four tulles in a month to
the opera. This was an ordinary visit.
Dr. Tardieu, profesor in the school of medicine in
Paris, examined by the Attorney-General—I was
charged by the juge d'ingtruction to examine the
wounded persons on the 14th January, and those who
had died.

it arose from the explosion spoken to.
Lord Campbell—lf that rule is rigidly adhered to
taken all the evidence we have already
properly received.
Mr. James still presses his objection.
The Attorney-General suggested that the evidence
objected to should be postponed.
Lord Campbell said he thought that was the best
course to pursue.
Examination continued—.The fragments found in the
body were of the material produced, some smaller than
others ; they varied very much, from the size of a grain
,of coal or a lentil or pea. They were of such a nature
as the explosion of an instrument like that produced
(grenade) filled with fulminating powder would make.
The fragments of such an instrument would be exceed-
, ingly numerous. The explosion of three such grenades
would be likely to produce a great number of wounds.
I visited a great number of persons shortly after the
occurrence suffering from wounds likely to ba produced
by such missile?.
Mr. James still objected to the evidence. It was
likely to Prejudice the prisoner in this charge. It was
neces ary they should be particular, because the prisoner
was not in Paris at the time. 'They might give evidence
of the dangerous nature of the explosion, but if it was
necessary to make the wounding evidence, proof should
be given that the wounds resulted from the explosion.
Lord Campbell said the Court were of opinion that
the evidence should be admitted.
Witness continued—l visited 156 wounded persons
within the week that followed the attempt. There were
511 wounds altogether. All but six were such as would
have been occasioned by the explosion. Those were
can sd by the seatterieg of g', es. The fragments were
given, some to the Jndge &Instruction arid others to
the wounded persons; at their request.
A veterinary-Burgeon deposed that be sxamined ore
of the carriage horses killed by the explosion. He took
, 8 or 9 pieces from the horse of various sizes.
Chevalier Francois Estieu—l am inspector of police
in Paris. I produce a fragment of a shell or grenade
taken from the body of the horse. I also produce seve-
ral picked up in the Rue Lapelletier. I was on duty
near the opera house. I arrested Joseph Pierri close to
the Emperor's private entrance to the opera house.
When the Emperor visits the (-perk preparations by
:Hutnination are made, both outside the building and at
1 the corner of the street. It was done on this occasion,
and the preparation commenced shortly before eight
1 o'clock. The Emperor arrived about half-past eight
1 o'clock. I arrested Pierri about ten or fifteen inheres
before the exp!oelon. I had linemn him before. I saw
him executed. after the trial. He Has searched at the
Guard-house on the night of the outrage. I foiled on
him a large Spring clasp knife, a four-chamber revolver,
loaded in every chamber and capped, and a shell or
grenade (ell of which the witness produced). The gre-
nade was loaded, and each of the nipples was capped.
[`he grenade was wrapped up in a piece of black silk,
which has been lost. The revolver is numbered, ano
marked " 5561 T." I produce a piece of oil-cloth
covering, a 20/. Bank of England note, some gold, el-
ver, and pence, taker, from Pierri.
Cron -e ' am:Di
, ned by Mr. Jaynes—Pierri was an Italian.
I was not at Orsini's trial. Rudio, Gomez, and Orsini
were Italiat s. I was officially at the execution of Or-
sini and Pierri. I don't know why Rudio's life was
spared. I don't know of any statement being taken
