B0ulanger on Trial.

PARIS, Aug. 9-The trial of General
Boui anger was begun yesterday before
the High Court of the Senate body of
military guarded the court The Procu-
reur-General, in a speech, accused Bou-
LANCER of attempting while in Tunis to
play the role of Viceroy, of assoc iatiue
with immoral characters, and, while Min.
lister of War, of having his portrait taken
as Cromwell the protector, and showing it
to secret agents. These agents the Pro.
cureur denounced as swindlers and
DULLES. NJ Rochefort and Count Dillon
were described by the Procureu. Gen eral
as accomplices OF General Boulanger.
Count Dillon he said had been expelled
from the army and was worthy to parti-

MRS MAVERICK combined appeal to
the Home Office for her reprieve.
Their action is based not only on the
confusion in the medical testimony
taken, but also on the peculiar be-
havior of the judge. which has ex-
cited ferment of indignation through
out the country. The foreman of
the jury has been interviewed concerning
the verdict which he and his fellow jurors
so hastily brought in. and he has shown
himself by his answers to be possessed of
only a confused notion of the evidence
which had been presented in court He
did not know that Sir Charles Russell had
offered in court to call witnesses who
would substantiate the statement of the
defendant and that the justice refused to
hear this important testimony. He adj
mitted that he would not be sorry If q re-
prieve was granted notwithstanding his
vote was in favor Of the verdict of muir
der. The general impression left by the
interview is that the jurors allowed them
selves to be swayed and biased by the
grossly one-sided summing up of the
judge and that they gave a hasty verdict
without giving the case and the evidence
any personal consideration

most heartily in the view of the court
that an investigation ought to
be made; and further, that the par
ties bringing the charges should not be
allowed to abandon them at the last
moment, either. The 10th of next
month would be ample time; and &c
wanted the matter pressed to an issue.
ZANE merely wanted time to get in
his W'tnesses-that was all.
JUDGE SANDFoRD-Mr, Williams, how
much time will you want to put in
your evidence? Will three days be
enough?

think; we will be content with that.

opportunity; we will facilitate the
matter by every means in our power.

ing for February 18th.
ZANE-It is matter OF great lmpor-
lance. We want to find out what the
receiver is doing with the $3.50 600 in
bis possession. We don't want to be
limited to any time. We want to find
out all abou. it-whether there has
been any misconduct. We want to
have ample opportunity.
JUDGE SANFoRD-Was there anything
SAID about that amount before?
ZANE-No;I Colt know that there
was exactly.
WI1LIAMs-Now, that is just what is
the matter with them. The suggestion
shows the perverseness of the investi-
ga ton by the counsel on the other side.
This was thing he row wanted to 1Es
vestigate that he had never before
thought of.
LAMENT. Williams, we have.
WILLIAMs-(Warmly) That is new
feature; and We want to know just
what they mean.
JUDGE SANDFoRD-The examination
will be in regard to the misleading of the
court.
ZANE-Is that all?
JUDGE SANDFoRD-No; it will take in
all misconduct.
