LIGENOE,

NEW COURT.

(Before Mr. Commissioner Kerr.)
THE CASE OF AIADAME IZACEIEL.
The trial was resumed this morning.
Mrs. Borrodaile was re-examined by Mr. Ser-
geant Ballantine. She said she had come to Lon-
don from Cheltenham, and went to a coffee-shop in
Francis-street, at the recommendation of a railway
porter. She stopped there for four days, and paid
2s. a day. She went to Madame Rachel's the day
after her arrival. She could not account for Ma-
dame Rachel producing the letters she had written
unless she had kept them, and witness always
thought they had been sent to whom they had been
addressed. She wrote all the letters at Madame
Rachel's shop. Madame Rachel's daughter told Ler
she was 50, but she could not say how old she was,
as she was made up. (Laughter.) A granddaughter
of the prisoner was always at the shop. She
did not think that she wrote the letters signed
" as she (witness) knew her
handwriting. No one was ever present when she
(witness) and Madame Rachel were letter-writing.
The shop was always shut up when they were so
engaged. No one ever called at her lodgings in
George-street but her mother-in-law and her soli-
citors. Witness never had any communication
with any ono beside Lord Ranelagh in Rachel's
house, nor bad she ever met any man there but
him. She had never met any man at a coffeeshop.
She trusted entirely to Madame Rachel. Rachel
used to give her some whisky before she com-
menced letter-writing. (Laughter.) She had men-
tioned this fact to many other persons, but did not
say anything about it at the last trial because
she was not asked the question. She had seen a
young man named Horace, who wrote at Rachel's,
and the boy called William, who wrote letters. All
she received for the £l,OOO was some soap, powder,
and magnetic water, which she was to put in her
bath. She kept a photograph of Lord Ranelagh on
her mantelpiece at home in George-street, and at
night she took it to bed with her. (Laughter.)
She told the matter to Rachel, and she advised her
to tell " William" of • it. (Laughter.) She was
quite positive that Rachel never upbraided her
with spending money on her paramour. In one of
her letters to 'William she said it was well known in
Pembrokeshire that she had been living with him.
It was altogether untrue. She acknowledged that
she was a " self-confessed idiot"—(loud latighter)
and she could not account in any way for her writ-
ing such extraordinary letters. She never saw
O'Keefe until she met him in Paris. She had seen
a man in Rachel's shop whom she said was Stephens,
Lord Ranelagh's servant. When she wrote to
" Dear Tom," Madame Rachel told her she had had
enough of Dear William now, and she had better
try " Dear Tom." She was told it wouid create
jealousy. Madame Rachel never paid any large
sum of money for her; on one occasion she believed
she did pay £2 for her. The document put into
her hand purporting to be an account of money
paid to her by Madame Rachel was an entire fabri-
cation. On her solemn oath she never received a
single one of the sums therein mentioned, amount-
ing in all to £1,600. There was a portion of the
parer in her handwriting, but the latter part of it
setting out the different sums was not, and
until it was produced in court she never
was aware of its existence. She never had
a single sixpence from Madame Rachael out of
the whole of the money she had from her, which
amounted, with the £1,600, to £2,200. Madame
Rachel was not the person to give money to any
one. She denied in the most solemn manner that,
with the exception of the £2 she bad mentioned,
she had not had one farthing from Madame Rachael
of all the money she had had from her.
By Mr. Digby Seymour—Of the £7OO now re-
ferred to she never had a penny. It was no use her
looking agaia at the account, as she never had a
single farthing from Rachel. She might have said at
the last trial that the document now placed in her
hand was in her handwriting; all she could say
was that parts of it looked like it. There was no
necessity fur the perpetual reminder that she was on
her sJleffin oath ; she knew that she was speaking
only the truth, and she could say no more.
The judge—Told witness she must answer the
questions. He was bound to tell her that the
learned gentleman had had his patience severely
tried. She did not recollect saying at the last trial
that she never told lies. It was too vulgar; she
thought she must have said " untruths." In look-
ing at the list the 5 of the S(JO looked like her
figures. The 85 is something like them.
The document was here handed to the jury, with
a direction from the learned Judge to look not only
at the figures, but the dates also.
LExamination continued—She often asked Rachel
what she bad done with her money and clothes, but
never could get any explanation. Madame Rachel
told her in 1866 that she had an account against
her. She bad no recollection of having had some
underclothing from a person named Mmes. Madame
Rachel said some had been got, but she had never
seen a single article. Would solemnly swear that
she bad never ordered underclothing to the amount
of £5O. Madame Rachel told her she would
require some for her wedding. She recollected
now that she gave Madame Rachel £lB out
of her pocket to purchase chemises. (Liughter.)
At the police court she might have said she wrote
some of the letters to 'William because she wanted
something to do. She made a great many very
foolish answers—she spoke frequently without
thinking. (Laughter.)
Sergeant Ballantine—Look at the list and see
whether there is £5O down for underclothing.
Mrs. Borrodaile—l don't see it. I never had it.
I know, because I'm very short of it. (Laughter.)
Sergeant Ballantine—Did you ever receive as
much as a tenth part of a shift from Madame
Rachel. (Laughter.)
Mrs. Borrodaile—No, never. (Loud laughter.)
The Judge—Do you know the handwriting of
Madame Rachel's daughter Leonte ?
Mrs. Borrodaile—Yes ; it is very much like
mine.

After a delay of upwards of half an hour, caused princi-
pally by the fractiousness of Hister;au and Nelly Rose, and
the anxiety of the jockeys to get off, the flag was lowered
to an even start, Nelly Rose, in the centre of the course,
cntting out the work with a slight lead of Snowdrop, His-
torian, Leonie, Dragon, Bounceaway, and Ladyllighthorn,
who laid on the left in a chster, lielph•egor and Kettle-
h.,lder being prominent on the right, with Epworth, Bis-
marck, Ritualist, and Roland in the centre of the course.
Nelly Rose retained her advantage until entering the
cords, when she was in trouble, and her retirement left
Snowdrop, who still held a position on the extreme left,
in command of the field, of whom Bounceaway, Leonie,
and Historian were the most prominent, La ly Ilighthorn
having beat a retreat almost simultaneously with Nelly
Rose. When fairly within the cords Leonie got almost
level with Snowdrop, but the light-weighted filly had
touch the best of the struggle, and Platt riding her with
great patience she won cleverly by three-quarters of a
length from the Duke of Hamilton's filly, which distance
separated Leonie from Historian ; Bounceaway, close up,
was fourth, and Goojerat fifth. Then came a cluster of
horses, the last lot being Dragon, Bismarck, Roland, Cel-
lina, and Tumbler.

WINCHESTER COLLEGE.—It is known that the
authorities of Winchester College have determined to in-
crease the number of students on the foundation from 70—
the number fixed by the founder, William of Wykeham,
hundreds of years since—to 100. This augmentation will,
however, be gradual, as it depends upon the vacation of
the fellowships. Five of the students have already been
elected, who will go on the foundation at Christmas. Ex-
tensive alterations are at present being made at the college.
Four tutors' houses are now in the course of erection at
Winchester for the further reception of private pupils.
