was one of several indictments which the executors of

the late Marquis of Hertford had considered their
duty to prefer against the prisoner at the bar, by
which they charged him with having feloniously
stolen a quantity of securities in the French funds
of very considerable value. As there was reason to
believe that the prisoner had possessed himself of
those securities at different times, and as by law one
offence only could be included in one indictment, it
had become necessary to prefer four indictments. He
should not feel it necessary on the present occasion to
occupy the time of the Jury in preliminary observa-
tions. The case was one demanding particular atten-
tion from the Jury, and the necessity for that atten-
tion was increased by the fact that the prisoner at

the bar was a foreigner. Fie would now, without further

preface, state the circumstances of the case to the Jury.
The prisoner at the bar, Nicolas Suisse, had beer for up-
wards of twenty years the valet and principal personal
attendant on the late Marquis of Hertford, who had
passed the greater part of almost every year of his
life since 1820, on the Continent ; and who had tra-
velled a good deal through France, Italy, and other
countries. In those travels he had been constantly

attended by the prisoner, who had been recommended
to the late Marquis, by his son, the present one. The
prisoner had made himself extremely serviceable to
the late Marquis, and by doing so had succeeded in
gaining his entire confidence • and for the last few
years of his life had been almost his sole personal
attendant, and had paid all the bills and expenses in-
curred by the Marquis. For doing this he had a
salary from the Marquis of about 120/. a year, together
with many perquisites, which rendered his situation a
very valuable one. In the year 1840, the Mar-
quis had an attack of paralysis, by which
his health was considerably impaired, and from that
time till his death he never enjoyed perfect health,
and particularly during the last three months of his
life, when both his mental and bodily faculties were
so impaired that he had great difficulty of utterance,
and was totally incapable of attending to his own
affairs or interests. In 1841 the Marquis returned
from Paris to London, and resided in his house in
Park-lane. For the last two months of his existence
the prisoner had been constantly with him, and was
present when he expired on the Ist of March. The
prisoner remained in England some time after the
Marquis's death, but towards the end of March he
seemed to show an anxiety to go to the Continent, and
on the 4th of April lie went to Messrs. Wells, Capron,
and Co., the solicitors to the executors of the late
Marquis, stated that he had obtained his passport, and
entreated them to prevail on the executors to let him go.
As, however, the prisoner had been in the habit of
disbursing a great deal of money for the late Mar-
quis, and as be had not made up his accounts, and as
he had received several thousand pounds, for which
he had not accounted, the executors refused his re-
quest. At another interview with one of the firm of
Wells and Cassam, he renewed his wish to go to the
Continent, made certain representations with respect
to large sums he had received, stated that he wanted
money from the executors, and that he was in
fact then living on borrowed money, while
on the other hand it would be clearly proved lie was
in possession of many thousand pounds. From cir-
cumstances th4t had come to the knowledge of the
executors, their suspicions were aroused that he had
appropriated money belonging to the Marquis to his
own use. Inquiry was instituted ; papers were found
in the possession of the prisoner relating to certain
French securities, which it was supposed belonged to
the late Marquis ; they led to further inquiry, the
result of which showed that the late Marquis had been
possessed of French securities amounting to upwards of
130,0001. and that of those securities only about
30,0001. was forthcoming. The inquiry was then
prosecuted further, and in the result the executors
felt satisfied that the prisoner at the bar had possessed
himself of this immense amount, and being thus con-
vinced, they had instituted the present prosecution.
He would now state the evidence it was intended to
bring before the Jury in order to bring horn? the
charge to the prisoner ; from that evidence it would
appear that the Marquis of Hertford made
various purchases in the French funds in the years
1836, 1837, and 1838, that during that time he made
purchases to the extent of 130,0001., and that those
purchases consisted of Inscriptions of Rentes, or An-
nuities, and, as he had said before, of those immense
purchases only about 30,0001. was forthcoming. It
was the habit of the late Marquis, who was a man of
immense fortune, and who, notwithstanding the splen-
dour in which he lived, was enabled to make these
large purchases in the French funds, when he wanted
money, to cut off one of the coupons from
the inscriptions from time to time, and send them to
his bankers, either in London or Paris, wherever he
might be, who cashed them for him, and placed them
to his credit. Being in possession of this large amount
of French stock, the late Marquis returned to Eng-
land in 1841, the last time he had received money on
these coupons _ being at, Paris in September of that
year. Upon the death of the Marquis, only 30,0001.
of the large amount he had adverted to could
be discovered, that amount was placed in the hand
of Messrs. Coutts and Co., and the executors now
charged the prisoner with appropriating the remain-
der to his own use. The Learned Counsel then pro-
ceeded to give an outline of the evidence he should
bring forward, and concluded by expressing his con-
fident opinion that upon that evidence the Jury would
think themselves justified in convicting the prisoner ;
but at the same time observing that if on that evidence
they entertained any doubt as to the guilt of the pri-
soner, they were bound to give him the benefit of it.
The Learned Gentleman having finished his address
called the following witnesses :
Mr. Charles Mallet examined by Mr. BODKIN—I
am a banker in Paris. I transacted business for the
late Marquis of Hertford. In October, 1836, I pur-
chased certain certificates payable to bearer for him.
Mr. TIIESIGER—Did you yourself purchase them ?
Witness—l did not.
Examination by Mr. BODKIN resumed—The certi-
ficates were delivered to the Marquis of Hertford by a
person of the same name as myself, who is not here.
In January, 1837, there were purchased by our firm
for the Marquis, four certificates of 1,000 francs each.
I did not deliver them to him myself. In April, 1838,
10,000 francs worth more were bought. I did
not deliver them myself. In May, 1838, there
were 10,000 francs worth more purchased. I
delivered them myself and received a receipt from
the Marquis, which I now produce ; the numbers are
from 1,711 to 15, and from 1,789 to 93. The certifi-
cates are for I,ooof. each. In October, 1838, there
was a further purchase of certificates, Nos. 1,828 to
1,833, 1,866 to 1,870, and 1,920 to 1,924, all of 1,000 f.
each. They were all delivered by me to the Marquis
on the 3d of April, 1839. There were some similar
certificates purchased in the Three per Cents. In
August, 1836, there were four certificates purchased ;
I did not deliver them. In June, 1838, there were
seven certificates purchased, and delivered by me to
the Marquis ; they were numbered from 1,663 to C 5
for 1,000 f., and 1,791 to 94 for 500 f. each. I was in
the habit of receiving coupons from the Marquis, to
place to the credit of his account, but I have no means
here of telling what the numbers were. Two of these
securities, of the same number and date, are never
issued. A person holding a certificate would be
entitled, on producing it, to have it changed to an
inscription, but he must produce all the coupons that
were not then due. The coupons are for payment of
dividends.
Mr. C. E. Pasteur examined by Mr. KELLY—I am
a banker at Milan, of the firm of Pasteur, Girod, and
Co. We were instructed to purchase French certifi-
cates for the late Lord Hertford. Some were purr
chased in February, 1839, in Paris. I received them
personally, and delivered them to the Marquis of
Hertford ; the numbers were 335, 336, 433, 438, 337,
338, 340, 341, 441. The others were delivered in
Paris. There were some for 5,000 f. and sonic for

Cross-examined by Mr. CLARKSON—Suisse ap-
peared to be very ill at the time. I took possession of
all the papers that I could find, and have kept them
ever since.
Mr. Capel examined by Mr. KELLY—I am of
the firm of Capel and Co., solicitors. I have been so-
licitor to the late Lord Hertford for thirty years. He
passed many of his latter years abroad. I remember
his having an illness in 1840, and from that time his
health was considerably impaired. He returned to
England in October, 1841, and resided at Dorchester
House until he died. There were times since Oct.,
1841, when I thought him unfit for the transaction of
business. His intellect was impaired from illness. I
sax him occasionally down to the time of his death.
Suisse had been his valet for years, and was high in
his confidence. At the time of Lord Hertford's death,
Suisse was confined by illness. Lord Hertford slept
in a room adjoining the library. He died
in the library. Suisse slept in a small room
adjoining the library. In the early part of
January I waited on Lord Hertford with a cheque
for a sum received on a particular account for him.
When I presented him with the cheque he asked for
ren and ink, and wrote his name upon it, along the
signature of Capel and Co. I observed to Suisse that
Lord Hertford appered not to be in a proper state of
mind to transact business. Suisse acquiesced,
Cross-examined by Mr. THESIGER.—I was ex-
amined at the last trial, and said not a word of this,
lreause I was not asked. I heard Mr. Fuller ex-
amined in Court at the last trial as to the state of his
Lordship's mind. I do not know if he is in Court
to-day. Mr. Croker was in Dorchester House at the
time of the Marquis's death The doors of the
,hrary, were sealed and the boxes ofpapers also. On
)-1 the- the will was opened police officers were em-
- - cla
,proyed in the house.
Mr. Hopkinson examined by Mr. KELLY.--I was
formerly a banker. lam one of the executors of the

-75017:- "TrersieFe-FiVeFei; Cents. I also delivered
some certificates for Three per Cents. (The
witness here stated the numbers of the different
'certificates in the Threeper Cents. which he had de-
livered to the Marquis.) I received these certificates
from the house of D'lchall and Son, Paris. In No-
vember, 1840, we received from the Marquis some
coupons to cash for him, which we sent to Paris.
(The witness here stated the numbers of the coupons,
and their value.)
Frederick Vandenbrook examined by Mr. C. Parc-
urs—l am in the employment of Mr. Adolphus
D'lchall, a banker in Paris. Messrs. Pasteur and
Girod, of Milan, are our correspondents. In February,
1839, eight certificates for 1,000 francs each were
purchased by our house for the Marquis of Hertford.
I did not purchase them myself, nor did they pass
through my hands.
-Mr. C. PHILLIPS—You may stand down, I cannot
carry it any further.
Mr. Stephen Penfold examined by Mr. KELLY—I
am clerk to Messrs. Rothschild. In April, 1840, our
house cashed a quantity of coupons, which we re-
ceived from Messrs. Hopkinson for the Marquis of
Hertford. I received them myself.—(The witness
here stated the numbers and value of the coupons.)
Mr. James Dixon—l am a clerk in the house of Sir
John Price and Co. In April, 1840, we received from
Messrs. Hopkinson a quantity of coupons to be sold.
I sent them to Mr. Brodier, our foreign broker, and
received the produce of that sale from him. It was
1571. 9s. 7d. I received some more on the 20th of
April, and sent them to Mr. Brodier to be sold, and
received from him 1,0821. 12s. 6d. On the 9th of
May there was a similar transaction, and another on
the 15th of Mar.
Mr. F. W. Hampstead, clerk to Mr. Brodier,
proved the purchase of some of the coupons from the
last witness, and stated the number of the coupons so
purchased.
Mr. Harley Goodall, another clerk to Mr. Brodier,
proved the purchase of another portion of the coupons
from the house of Sir J. Price, and stated the num-
bers of the coupons so purchased.
Mr. William Crote, another clerk to Mr. Brodier,
proved the purchase of the remainder of the coupons
alluded to by the witness Dixon, and stated the
number and value of them.
Mr. Thomas Chumley—l am a clerk in Hopkin-
son's banking-house. The late Marquis of Hertford
kept an account there. I sent on the 13th April,
1840, some coupons to be sold, on account of the Mar-
quis of Hertford, to the house of Sir John Price, in
the City. Those coupons had been sent to us by the
Marquis. Another quantity of coupons sent by the
Marquis we sent to Messrs. Rothschild for disposal,
who received the produce of the sale, and placed it to
the credit of the Marquis of Hertford. (The witness
then gave evidence of several transactions of a similar
nature.)
By Lord ADINGER—We are in the habit of re-
ceiving coupons from various customers, and we send
them all to Sir C. Price's house. We have no means
of ascertaining to whom the different coupons belong,
except from the return made to us by Sir C. Price's
house.
By Mr. BODKIN—I copied the entries in the ledger
from a waste book which was made up from another
book furnished as by Sir C. Price.
Cross-examined- by Mr. THESIGER—I know no-
thing of the receipt of that sum of money, except that
I copied the entry into the book produced from
another book.
Mr. W. H. Thomas 'examined by Mr. KELLY.—I
am a bullion-dealer in Cornhill. I know the pri-
soner. He brought to me on 16th March last a quan-
tity of coupons to be converted into English money.
I took the numbers and the amount. (The witness
then stated the numbers and value of the coupons,
and the dates when they were payable.) Altogether
he brought 70 coupons, and the sum amounted to
87,300 francs. They were all due at the time. I sent
them to Paris, and he was to call again for the money.
He called on the 28th March, and I paid him 32,000
francs, being 1,2371. 18s. 2d. I sent a cheque to my
bankers for the amount, and gave him the money I
received from my bankers for the cheque.
Cross-examined by Mr. THESIGER—I have seen
Suisse before. I understood that he was steward to
the Marquis of Hertford.
Re-examined by Mr. KELLY-.. 4 first saw him in
October, 1841. He then came to me to get- cash for
some coupons.
Lord ABINGER—To what amount ? Witness—
Three thousand francs. I had other transactions with
him between October and March. In November for
10,000 francs, and in February, 1842, for 17,200
francs. Those are all the transactions I had with the
prisoner.
Mr. William Thomas examined by Mr. C. Pau,-
LIPS—I am cashier in Glynn's banking house—l
know the last witness—On 2d March, I cashed a
cheque drawn by him for 1,2371. 18s. 2d.—One of the
notes was for 1,0001. No. 12, 66-13th June, 1842.
Another was a 2001. note, No. 88,404, dated 10th
June, 1842.
Mr. W. Rawlins—l am a silversmith, in Coventry-
street—l know the prisoner ;he came to give me an
order in March last. He ordered a small service
of plate of the value of 2,2001. On the 4th of April
he paid 1,8001. on account. That consisted in part of a
1,000/. note and a 2001. note; the 1,000/. note was 1,266,
13th Jan., 1842 ; and the 2001. note was No. 88,404,
dated Jan, 10, 1842.
Cross. examined by Mr. THESIGER—I knew Suisse
to have been in the service of the Marquis. I have
known him well for years. During the whole time
his character has been a first-rate one as an upright,
honest man.
Mr. F. Brennan examined by Mr. KELLY—I am
one of the firm of Capel and Co., solicitors to the
late Lord Hertford. Lord Hertford died on the Ist
March. We had communications with the executors.
Suisse came to our office on the 4th April. At that
time we ascertained there were accounts unsettled
between him and Lord Hertford. He came volun-
tarily. He came for permission to go to Paris. I
told him to come again in half an hour, and in the
meantime communicated with the executors. On
his return I called his attention to a sum of 9,200/.,
which he had received from Lord Hertford's
bankers in the month of February. He said
that he had credited what he had expended
in his book, and had paid the rest into his Lordship's
hands, he added that the accounts which he had sent
in to Mr. Capel would show how a great part of the
money had been applied. He renewed his application
to be permitted to go abroad, and expressed a hope
that the executors would settle his accounts, as he
wanted money to pay his passage. The executors
were in the house at the time, and they refused to
permit him to go.
Cross-examined by Mr. THESIGER—Mr. Croker
was the executor in the house at the time.
I saw the Marquis some time before his death.
Suisse complained when he was refused permission
to go abroad of the had
in which he was
treated. He said he had nearly killed himself
twice, and he would not do so a third time.
Suisse had been very ill. Mr. Fuller attended the
Marquis in his last illness. Mr. Fuller is not here
He was examined at the last trial for the prosecution.
The amount of the balance claimed by Suisse on his
book, as due from the executor, was 1671. The will
was proved on the 10th of June, 1842.
Mr. Inspector Partridge examined by Mr. C.
PHILLIPS—I went to Dorchester House about April
last to apprehend Suisse—l found him in his room—
I told him I came to apprehend him on a charge of
embezzlement, he asked what the meaning of em-
bezzlement was. I told him, appropriating the monies
of, others to his own use. I gave him into custody
of Sergeant Luff, and I searched his room and found
the papers produced. I then returned to Suisse.
Among the papers found was a letter with a piece
torn off. On the following morning I found the
missing piece under the grate, in the fire-place. I
searched Suisse. He gave his keys up. In the
drawers in his room I found 13 sovereigns in a purse,
and 42 Napoleons. In his box I found several memo-
randums, and an estimate for plate from Lambert and
Roffe.

late Lord Hertford. I was present when possession
was taken of the effects of the late Lord Hetiford, and
when certain inscriptions were found. The inscrip-
tions produced by Mr. Engleback, of the
house of Coutts and Co., were among them.
They were sent to Coutts. The inscriptions
produced, are all that were found, 27,200/. Three per
Cents., and 8,000/. of Five per Cents. That is the amount
of the annual dividends in francs. The value of this
would be 1,0801. a year Three per Cents., and 3251. a
year Five per Cents. The value of the capital would
be about 30,0001. These were all the certificates of
French stock found payable to bearer in his Lord-
ship's possession.
Cross-examined by Mr. THESIGER—The amount of
inscriptions standing in his Lordship's name in the
Book of Finance in Paris, not payable to bearer,
amounted to somewhere about 8,000 francs a-year,
besides another receipt for 500 francs a-year at Mal-
let's the bankers. They were dated, I think, in 1823.
Mr. Sasse, examined by Mr. BODKIN—I am a pro-
fessor of languages, and have made a translation of
the letter produced. (The translation was then read.
It was from Caille and Bac, the Paris bankers, and
stated that they had received 58 coupons from the
prisoner by the hands of M. Benoit Caille, and had
placed the same to his account. The witness also
read a translation of a letter from the prisoner to M.
Benoit Caille, relative to the purchase of a carriage
and horses, and to the transmission of a service of
plate to France, which the writer was having made
for himself, and stating the writer's intention to visit
Brussels in June, on his way to Nancy. He then
read a translation of another letter from the prisoner
to Mr. Benoit Caille, urging Caille to come to London
at his (the prisoner's) expense.
Mr. Lawson examined by Mr. KELLY—I live in
Paris, and act as a law-agent. I have applied fre •
quently to M. Benoit Caille to come here as a wit-
ness. I was present when certain inscriptions were
delivered to M. Mallet. I produce the examined
copy of certain proceedings pending in the French
Court in a suit in which the executors of Lord Hert-
ford are plaintiffs, and Suisse, Caille, and Bac are de-
fendants.
Lord ABINGER thought that evidence could not be
admitted.
Mr. KELLY—That is the case, my Lord.
The Jury then retired for a short time for refresh-
ment. On the return of the Jury,
Mr. THESIGER inquired whether his Lordship
thought there was sufficient evidence to go to the
Jury ?
Lord ABINGER intimated that he should not feel
himself justified in withdrawing the case from the
consideration of the Jury.
Mr. THESIGER, upon this, addressed the Jury,
contending that there was not the slightest proof of
any felony having been committed, and he said that
the case, at most, was only one of suspicion. He
would not, he said, leave the case as it was at pre-
sent, but he should call some witnesses, whose evi-
dence would be found to be most important, and
when that evidence was adduced, he felt satisfied that
the prisoner would receive an acquittal at their hands.
It would be shown by the will of the late Marquis,
that up to his dying moments he had placed the most
unbounded confidence in the prisoner, and in the last
codicil, dated in November, 1839, the Marquis be-
queathed 8,0001. to the prisoner, at the same time
calling him "an excellent man." The Learned
Counsel then made some allusion to the conduct of
the late Marquis, and put it to the Jury whether it
was not very probable that the Marquis might not
have given him large sums of money.
The will was put in, and the dates of the several
bequests to the prisoner, and which amounted alto-
gether to the sum of 18,6001., were read.
Thomas Foote, examined by Mr. CLARKSON—I
was formerly in the service of the late Marquis of
Hertford, and had been so for seventeen years when
the Marquis died. I attended about the person of
his Lordship for the last few years, to assist the pri-
soner, who was his valet. He accompanied him in
his travels, paid the bills, and acted in fact as a
steward, and the Marquis appeared much attached to
him, particularly towards the latter portion of his life.
The Marquis was in the habit of receiving females
both at Dorchester House, and at the house in the
Regent's Park, and he also travelled on the Continent
with such persons. The prisoner was chiefly em-
ployed in the transaction of these delicate matters for
the Marquis. The Marquis could not go about with-
out assistance for the last twelve-month or more. The
Marquis was visited by females up to the time of his
death, and one who was known by the name of Hen-
rietta, was in the house at the time the Marquis
died. A woman named Burel came to live in
Dorchester House, about six weeks before the
Marquis died. His Lordship's health failed him very
much during the last twelve months, and he could
not help himself on necessary occasions, and it was
necessary to wait upon him both in the day and
night, and this duty principally devolved upon the
prisoner. I remember when his Lordship returned
from France in October 1841. At that time he was
accompanied by Mdlle. Burel and another woman
named Dubois. A short time before his Lordship's
final attack I remember his taking a journey to Rich-
mond, accompanied by some women. The Marquis
and Suisse appeared to be very much attached to each
other, and I remember upon one occasion the Mar-
quis gave him 1601. When abroad Suisse paid for
everything—he made payments of all kinds. Ido
not know who used to pay the Marquis's women.
When we landed at Ramsgate in October last, it was
necessary for Suisse and me to carry him from the
boat to the pier steps, and this was accomplished with
great difficulty, Suisse holding the Marquis by the
body and by the neck, and witness assisting him, and
there being considerable danger, the boatman called
out to "let go," but they kept hold of the Marquis,
and succeeded in getting him safe on shore. After
this occurrence the Marquis seemed more pleased
with Suisse than before, and he rang for him much
more frequently in the night. Suisse was very ill,
and was confined to his bed for several days during
the latter part of the illness which terminated in the
Marquis's death.
Cross-examined by Mr. KELLY—Lord Hertford
used to keep boxes in his room which contained a
good deal of property. He kept the keys of these
boxes in his own possession, but sometimes they were
lying about the rooms. I have seen money taken
from the table drawer in the library by the prisoner
in the presence of his Lordship. On the same occa-
sion that the Marquis gave 160/. to Suisse, he gave
me 501. I also had a gift of 201. a-year besides my
wages.
Angeline Burel, examined by Mr. THESIGER—I
am a native of France, and am 24 years of age. I
knew the late Marquis of Hertford, and lived with
him between 7 and 8 years. When I first knew
the Marquis I was sixteen years old. The prisoner
provided apartments for me, and the Marquis paid for
them. I used to visit the Marquis at Dorchester
House, and frequently dined there. The Count and
Countess Zfchi used to come to see the Marquis at
Dorchester House, and on those occasions I did not
dine there. I have dined at Dorchester House with
Mr. Croker. Suisse used to come and fetch me. I
remember the Marquis having an attack of the gout,
and after that his health suffered much, and his speech
was affected, and at times it was difficult to understand
what he said. Suisse was in constant attendance
upon the Marquis, and he appeared very much
attached to him. Suisse paid for everything. I had
a regular allowance from the Marquis, which was
always paid me by Suisse. I generally expended
7,0001. or 8,0001. a-year, and whenever I wanted
2001. or 300/., I used to ask the prisoner, and some-
times he gave it to me, and sometimes the Marquis
gave it me. I have now an annuity of 15,000 francs
a-year, which was left me by the Marquis. I have
heard Suisse say in the presence of the Marquis that
" thanks to his kindness, he had become a rich man."
In October 1841, I was with the Marquis at Paris, and
a short time before that the Marquis had promised to
purchase a house for me, and while we were at Paris
I told the Marquis that I would not live with him
unless he fulfilled the promise. The Marquis then
offered me some coupons, but not knowing their
value, I refused to take them. On the same day, the
Marquis gave me 211,000 francs. A day or two
after this I asked the Marquis what was the value of
the coupons he had offered me, and he told me 100,000
francs, and he at the same time told me that he had
given them to Suisse. I went with the Marquis to
London, and continued to visit him until December,
when, upon going to the house one day, I found
another woman, named Henriette, with him, and I
then refused to live with him any longer. About
two months after this time, the Marquis gave me 1201.
to buy a carriage with, and he also gave me a cheque
for 500/. upon Messrs. Coutts.
Cross-examined—l went to Paris, and remained
there for some weeks after the death of the Marquis ;
and I afterwards went to Geneva, and then came
again to Paris, and staid there until I came here to
give evidence. The Marquis told me the coupons
were worth a hundred thousand francs, and that he
had given them to Suisse. Mademoiselle Dubois was
present when the Marquis said this, and she is in at-
tendance here to-day, to give evidence. I received a
summons to attend and give evidence, and I was here
at the last trial, but was not called upon to give evi-
dence. I have never gone by any other name than
the one I now answer to.
Clara Josephine Dubois, examined by Mr. JAMES
I knew the late Marquis of Hertford, and I was
travelling with him and Mdlle. Burel in October last.
I heard the Marquis say that he had given 100,000
francs to Suisse.

Cross-examined—l was in Court during the ex-
amination of Mdlle. Burel, but she did not speak loud
