THE LATE ATTEMPT TO ASSASSINATE TEE
FRENCH LMPBROR.

In consequence of tho refusal of Mr. Jardine, the Bow-
street magistrate, to accept bail in the case of M. Simon
Bernard, Mr. Sleigh, the defendant's counsel, applied to
Mr. Justice Wightman yesterday afternoon, at judge's
chambers, to reverse his worship's decision.
Mr. Bodkin, counsel for the Crown, attended to oppose
the application.
Mr. Sleigh, after reviewing the facts of the case as
already before the public, urged that it was almost the in-
variable practice of magistrates to admit to bail in cases
where the offence charged was simply one of misdemeanour.
No doubt, in the present instance, the worthy magistrate—
whose discretion he was the last man living to call in ques-
tioa—had been influenced by the grave representations of
his learned friend the counsel for the prosecution, as to
the defendant's complicity with Orsini and others; but the
utter absence of any evidence, and the improbability really
of there being any evidence hereafter in support of such
a conjecture, were sufficient reasons, he contended, why
there should have been no deviation from the ordinary
rules of the Court.

His Lordship said, it was quite unusual to make an ap-
plication of this sort while a case was under remand. The
first course would be to issue a certiorari for the depositions,
and when they were before him it would be very properly
urged that they were incomplete.
Mr. Bodkin,— -Exactly so. There never had been an in-
stance of the kind. It was impossible for Mr. Sleigh to
know what character the charge might hereafter assume.
In the Custom-house prosecutions a few years ago, where
the defendants were remanded from week to weekfor a very
long period, similar applications were made to the judge
and invariably refused, it being the opinion of his lordship
that there ought to beno interference with the discretion of
the magistrate unless there had been any unreasonable de-
lay on the part of the prosecution. There could be none
charged in thisinstance, the defendant haying been only
apprehended on Suridaylaat.
I Sleigh referred to the ease of tivo prisoners named
De Salvi and Gower, who were charged with an attempt to
assassinate (and subsequently it proved to be murder) in
the Queen's Bench Prison. In that case Gower was ad-
mitted to bail by the judge, pending the inquiry.
His Lordship—That was a wry different matter. The
application on bahalf of Gower was not opposed, but ap-
proved, by the prosecution. When the evidence is com-
plete and the defendant stands committed, I might enter-
tain theapplication, probably, if the magistrate still refuse
to allow bail.
Mr. Sleigh—But surely, your Lordship, if it would be
just to admit the defendant to bail then a fortiori it must
