THE ENGLISH BAR.  At Bow-street Police-court, Henri de Tourville, aliaa Perreau, a Frenchman, naturalised an English: man, and a barrister of this country, was charged before Mr. Vaughan, on an extradition warrant, with the murder of his second wife, Madeline, an Englishwoman, in the Smlvio Pass, in the Austrian Tyrol. Mr. Poland and Mr. Montagu Williams appeared for the defence.  Mr. Vaughan having examined the warrant, said it did not appear to be legalised according to the Aot of Parliament by the signature of the Austrian Minister here, and it would be necessary to send the paperli back to the fimbassy,though this pould be done after formal evidence had been taken, Georgians, Louisa Seott, 42; Addison-road Nensing.i ton, said: I have known the pricoiter since the I.lth of Nov., 1875, or about a month before he was Married.: Ile married a friend of mine named Madeline Miller, a widow. After -the marriage they went straight over te Austria, from whence 1 heard of them frotei time to time. Mv friend was travelling in this Tyrol, and I first heard of her death on the KM July in,the present year. I heardit from hen maid., I received a letter purporting to be written by the prisoner, and in it us an account given purporting to state the circumstances attending the death of his wife.  The letter wee read by the clerk of the court and expressed the sorrow of the writer at the death of his wife by falling down a ravine in the Stelvio Pass. They had, be said, been to visit the Pass, but on their return his wife became very nervous, and left the Carriage, wishing to walk. In looking at the splendid view she went too near and fell down the rocks, and when her body was found life was extinct. Ho would have written at once to Miss Soott, but the man at the inquest vas so stupid that be would uot allow him to write or send over mall the inquest was concluded. Miss Scott, continuing her evidence, said : I saw the prisoner after that on the 17th August in this country. when a conversation took place relative to the death of his wife. He then told me that she' brut committed suicide by throwing herself off from the rock at the edge of the road. She had, be said, thrown herself over three separate times. He told me it moon very steep and rough place just there. He said it, was a long way from any place where he could get assistance. It . was after twelv.e o'clock in thn day. He told me that he had sent the carriage away, and that my friend bad said that she mould prefer walking down. I saw him again: in the evening, when we conversed again on the same subject. He said be bad seen Mr:Robinson and Mr. Wilding, the executors, but no further conversation took place in reference to the wife's death. I have seen him since, but he !Ms made no further staterunt an to his wife's death. I believe he had been acquainted with his wife about five months before the marriage. . .
