The Honssarts TRIAL.

Toras, March 22.-The High Court Of
Justice opened lite session at II o'clock this
morning. Slight changes were made in the
arrangements of the courtroom. The
Judges now sit at the upper end of the hall,
with the p,ocureur- General md his assist
lnts Oh tho right, the clerks and officers OF
the court in the centre, and the jury, pri-
;oner's counsel, and reporters, on the left.
The remainder of the apartment If devoted
10 spectators, but the space IL very limited.
The first witness examined to-day was
Mllllerc, who came into the court between
iwo gcndarmes. He gave his testimony with
llrmness, but made no attempt at display.
tic SAID the letter sent by Prince Bonaparte
to Rochefolt was not provocation, but In
suit. Being asked why he wore arms, he
replied that he lived in district outside
the city, and going home late at night was
obliged to carry arms for self-protection.
He incidentally blamed the Government
Tor delay in the arrest of the Prince after
the shooting; whercupon he was repri-
manded by the president of the court. The
Prince rose excitedly and declared that
Mlll'ere and Grousset had both sworn that
they would yet shoot him. This the wit
ness positively denied, and the audience
seemed inclined to hiss the Prince. The
Procureur-General insisted that the witness
be remanded to prison, and the lawyers fo-
the prosecution demanded that he should
remain and give the remainder Of his tes-
imony. The Court decided that the wit
ness should remain and he concluded his
testimony.
Several servants of the accused we're
placed on the stand, and some of his per-
sonal friends were examined. The latter
damaged the defence by displaying too
much zeal. Paul Cassagnac was next ex-
amined. He was insulting in his manner
toward the lawyers for the prosecution.
Lo-ocea. who testified in favor of the ac-
cused. was at one point called toquestlon by
the court because he showed too much
warmth. All the witnesses for tho de-
fence testified that they noticed contu-
sion on his cheek after the affray, but the
physician who was called in at the time
to examine the Princes face was placed
on the stand, aud swore he saw no signs OF
L confusion.
He was confronted with other witnesses,
but repeated his statement. The audience
we're much excited b. the contradiction.
| Tie defence attempted to prove that the
Prince did not shoot until Fouville had
drawn pistol, and also that o plot had
been made against the lite Of the Prince
before the affair Of the Rue d'Autell, but
the evidence failed to sustain either ALE
cation.
1t is expected that Rochefort will be ez-
| nmincd tomorrow.
