agreed to, consented to answer questions.
Q. Did you know Lavalette before his tri.l?-110.
Q. Have you known him since, and did you see
him in prison never saw him in prison.
Q. Did you know for some time before the Bth of
this month, that Lavalette was still at Paris ?—I can•
not recollect the date, but I think I was informed

that he was as Paris on the 3d or 4th January; I had
only heard it said so. _ _ _

Q. Did you not then propose to join in a project,
the object of which was to facilitate his escape out of
the kingdom ?—I was spoken to with that view.
Q. Who was the person that so spoke to you ?-4

- .
%VAS born and educated in a country where the sncial
duties are • resisected as public duties, and thus my
memory is not trained to betray frienclealip and con-
fidence.

Q. Oa Sunday the 7th instant, did you not ke in
.the evoiting to the residence of Captain Hutchinson,
Rue du Helder, Nn. 3, and did yon not tied your.
self there -with Lavalette ?--I du nut, as I beforc
said, recollect dates. 2.11 y, I regret, c.v. the ground
of my preceding ai,s..ver, the tri..!s!iun regarding Cap-
tain Hutchinson. 3 Ily, I have rave~ boen,in the vs..
ciety nt any one where L heard Ote Lame of

Q. In that society !lave y'.o seen an individual •
whoi7e name might not have been pronounced before
you, but whosr figiire wrs %unknown to you, amt
whom, from the air of mystery maiutoined by Cap-
tain Hutchinson, you might have reason to suspect,
had come there to conceal himself ? I have not said,
that I passed the evening with Mr. Hutchinsou, and
1 ani,ly again here the pteceding reflections.
V On Monday the Vieth instant, did y4l not go is
watiel tn the le rii.!,t; MC tit ti"-- .4)4•4251 •
not slescend for the purpose of mounting into a chaise
which was in the street, near or in front at the great
gate, and had you not by your ride a man, whom
you found in the Captain's :ipartment ?—As.troin the
nature of these interrogatories other persons besides
myself may be implicated, I ought to hold myself
on the defensive, and keep silence.
Q. Do you agree than that you aided Lavalette to
quit Paris, and then to go out of France, ini7ing him
by your side in the drei.s of an English Officer ?—I
repeat that no person ever appeared fore me under
the name of Iravalette. It is very tree that at the
epoch of which you speak, or near it, I accompanied
out of France an individual dressed in at: ulifctiel
great curt, but that is not es.clusively confined to the
military, and every individual has the right of wear-
ing one. I did not observe that under this coat he
had on an uniform dress.

Q. llitdvr what name was this individual known to
you ?—As that individual had prio.mbly, reasons for
concealing his name. I do not th;ok mysllt autt,u-
rized to %tate it.

Q. If you did not know it, wh-it powerful motive
could have determined y.lu to take so long and exp
pensive a journey, to acconipany f3iat to the frontiers?
—My motives ara not acts 4,t win..... 11 I feel myself
bound to render an account ; but I should be a.sharned,
of myself if friendship, or merely the desire of ran.
dering a slight service to any one wto stood in need
of it, were not sufficient to induce nie to undertake a
journey much longer and more fatiguing..
Q. When you passed thri• ;h Valenciennes, and
you wished to Clain a post permit, did you declare
your real name ?—lt is true that I passed through
Valencia tines, and I think I mervioned ray real name;
but it. every and when to at: diyitrised,
the t:ait:ty of tke person t.tcc tnpa,-,ying me would
sufficivntiy justify this precaution, it L tho3gl:: it i!.
cessary. On my return to Franr.,-, I never concealed
my name, and with my name I passed the froetiers
and the strong places.

9. liqyourcogiiiy..! the permit now presented to
you, as that delivered to you at Valeucieubses, to:
yourself andethe per.un who accompanied yeti?--j
do not recollect it.

Q. When you arrived at Compiegne, where you
rested, were you and your companion received b.,' as
Englishman or a Frenchman ?—I cannot, nor will I
!AMC what is not purely personal; I owe is however
to-truth to declare upon my honour, that no French•
man, of whatever rank, at least to my knowledge,
was concerned in this affair at. the moment when I
took charge of the individual : this declaration an.
plies equally to Paris as to the other parts of A;
journty.
Q. Did you act of yoarself, er by the inducement:
of a stranger, in taking the journey ?—I was inform-
ed that the journey was necessary to the interests of
an individual. I never needed either the efforts o?
the persuasion of any person to induce me to de an
act which I think honourable, and which my con.
science approved—honourable because this act wa;
pcticctly disinturested—approved by my cornett:lm
