T 7 ESTMKSTEB COUSTI COURT . ACKBHLEI V . THE ZOOLOGICAL SOCIETT . —MUD CHIEF JUSTICE CAMPBELL A WITNES 3 . This was an action brought by the well-known Captain Charles Henry Ackerley against the Zoological Society , to recover the sum of £ 10 for a penalty incurred by the breach of the act 5 & 6 William IV ., cap . 59 , called Martin ' s Act , against cruelty to animals . The court was crowded , the lord Chief Justice , several members of the House of Commons , ana other influential persons , having been subpoenaed to give evidence . —The plaintiff appeared in person , and the society was represented by a solicitor , who , upon the opening of the case , called his Honour ' s attention to the plaint , note , or summons , which would evidently show that h « Honour had no iurisdictiDn . —fisntnin
Ackerley applied to have the summons read out in court , which request was complied with by the judge . —The learned Judge : You see the objection is , sir , that there is no remedy under this act of parliament . —Captain Ackerley ( a little excited ) : inen , sir , I beg to be sworn , for nnder the existing laws that act is supposed to be repealed . I wish to show that there is a false record in the House of Lords . ( Laughter . ) -Tbe book was then given to the captain to be sworn , when he exclaimed , " This book put into my hand is a book , I apprehend—liber —•( laughter )—but I am sworn in under the standard j ^^ i ,. W *™*^ ¦ feugWer . ) -The learned Judge : That is not the New Testament , but the OR-Captam Ackerley : If this , then , is the same substance , m swear ; but if it is not , I . have nothing iodo with the other nart . / Great
laughter . ) Because I argue that the 6 th and 7 th chapter of that book is the whole snm and substance of the Bible . { Increased laughter . ) For the cause of justice ( emphatically ) 1 kiss anything , rm now sworn . —The Judge : That is not swearing . You refuse to be sworn , then?—The Captain-I beg your pardon . This is the Book of Hebrews . -The Judge ! : But you refuse to be sworn upon the Gospel ^ -The Captai n ( spiritedlj ) : We ll , sir , if justice is to be performed , and as we are at Borne we must do as Borne does . ( Great laughter . ) Captain Ackerley then entered into a Ion * and desultory statement ; in which lie complained of the cruelty on the part of the society of which he alleged he himself was a member , towards curtain
animals in the gardens . He spoke in particular of Jeedingtheserpents wkhlive pigeons . —Thelearned Judge here interrupted , and drew the plaintiff ' s attention to the aotof parliament , showing that he had no jurisdiction—Captain Ackerley ( with much liveliness ) : I beg your pardon , sir , you have . —At the plaintiffs request Mr . James Gilpin was then called . —Mr . Gil pin said he was a clerk in the House of Commons . The plaintiff had certainly applied to the house for the act . of pariiament , 12 and IS Tic , within this last week , relative to the "cruelty to animals , " bnt continued the witness , he was not allowed to give any evidence with regard to the practice of the house without an order .- ? The Plaintiff : The . certifying to false records by the liouse is a felony , and the act specifies that they or any one shall be subject to be called before a court of justice to answer any such charge . But , sir , I find that that act is partially repealed , and therefore I have summoned this witness from the Honse
of Commons , as it is clearly a falsification . This gentleman says he is not allowed to bring the necessary papers without an order from the House of Commons , and therefore I must apply for an adjournment to complete my case . He then quoted the act 5 & 6 "Viet ., cap . 92 . —The Judge : You must go before a justice of the peace to recover any penalty in this matter . —The Plaintiff : I have been there , sir , and that has induced me to come to you . The case is so extraordinary that I have subpoenaed lord Chief Justice Campbell , who , I Believe , is here now for the purpose of savintr you from any sort of error . ( The whole court a » ain became convulsed with laughter . )—After much more discussion of an equally ludicrous nature , the learned judge decided that no order could be made , as it was clear that the case ( if any ) would be one for the consideration of the justice of the peace . —Captain Ackerley then applied for his hearing fees to be returned , but which was of course refused . ¦

r , y removed to the Auglers , where appropriate resuscitating means were employed for three-quarters of an hour under the direction of a surgeon , but in vain . The deceased was attired in a straw bonnet , purple silk ^ visite , and red silk gown ; she was wearing a gold chain , attached to which was a locket , a gold brooch , a wedding ring , and two other rings . On searching her clothes he found : i German purse , containing a half-crown piece and loose in her pocket a florin , 12 s . ii . in silver ' 3 $ d m copper , and a bunch of nine keys , as also the letter produced , which was addressed " Mr . Pratt 2 , Angel-terrace , Hammersmith . " ' The Coroner , at the suggestion of the jury , read the letter , which was as follows , and was written in a very neat , ladylike manner , and not with a
nervous hand : — Kingston , Friaay . -Jaines ,-For the lasj time I address you . May God forgive you , as 1 do , for the wicked acraaturns you have brought against me . When I took an oath to you last night it was quite true , and all I said afterwards a he , prompted by the fear of being murdered . May every wife do her duty to you as well as I have done , even though she has a drunken husband . Goofl Die I never expect to meet you again .-Your broken hearted wife , Mast B . PSaxt . Jase Jeass , housemaid in the service of Mr . James Pratt , was next called as a witness . She was attired in a superior dress of deep mourning , and gave her evidence in so guarded and hesitating a manner that , although under , examination a very long tune , the coroner had great difficulty in elici"
ting any important facts from her . She deposed she had been in Mr . Pratt ' s service about three weeks before his marriage . She first heard of de . ceased s death on Friday afternoon , and the last time she saw her alive was on Friday morninc . About half-past six o ' clock she rang her bell , and witness found her in her bed-room dressed , all but her gown . Deceased , put on a red silk dress instead of a morning one , and witness fastened it . Deceased did not say wh y she did so . She was not with her more than five minutes-when she went down stairs , and soonafterwardshea rd her mistress leave the house b y the private door . Mr . Pratt had gone early to market , and he did not return till ton q clock , when he inquired for his wife , and the witness said she had gone out . He sent
her to the City , and also to Bayswater , but the deceased had been to neither place . Witness was not aware of any dispute between the deceased and her husband on the previous night : They were on good terms , except when he had too much to drink . Deceased appeared in a sound state of mind , and witness never apprehended she would commit suicide . Deceased went to bed first on Thursday night . Mr . Pratt was the worse for liquor , but deceased made no complaint . Witness did not know what the words " Wicked accusations" meant . Had not heard her husband accuse his wife of anything wrong . Thoughtthe words referred to a Mr . Nntt . She believed her master was jealous of him . Mr . Pratt married his wife from Mr . Autt s . She understood he was her guardian and
executor . - _ John Pcbsham , a fisherman , living at Hampton Wick , said he rented some ground in the upper ait off Kingston , and was returning home to dinner on Friday , when he saw the deceased sitting on a log of-timber , which was alongside the towing path , on the Mtddlesexside ; he looked at her and thought what a beautiful woman she was , and never supposed she was about to drown herself . He saw her afterwards walking about , and thebargo walk terminating at that pointy he lost sight of her . On returning from dinner he saw the deceased ' s parasol lying near the spot where he had seen her before . . .
The : solicitor attending for Mr . 2 Jntt here observed it was highly important that a letter which had been written . by the deceased , and bore the Kingston post-mark of Friday , and had been received by Mr . Kutt the same evening , should be publicly read , as it would explain the deceased ' s state of mind . ,..-. . . -.. ¦ . Theletter . of which the following is a copy , was then read . It commenced : — ' UydwrMr . andMM .

Mr . Nuti expressed a . wish to be examined , and was so . He said he bad . known the deceased from a little girl .. He had known her father , who was but recently deceased ,, and a more worthy and upright man never lived . He was incapable of-the act imputed to him , and with respect to himself he had never acted otherwise than as a . father to the deceased . Deceased . was six months at his house before she married . ; He gave her away . Had seen both her and her husband several times since , and had no reason to . dpubt they were happy . She was a noble-hearted woman , aud of very sensitive mind , and he had no doubt such an accusation would drive her mad . '
After some further proceedings the . Coroner summed up , the room was cleared , and in a short time the jury returned a verdict of " Temporary derangement . "

EXTBAOBDINARY MUBDEB , IS BELGIUM . Since the trial of Madame Laffarge in France for poisoning her husband , no more remarkale case has ever been tried than that which now . slowly unfolds itself before the High Criminal Court of Ilainault at Mons . The accused are the Count and Countess of Bocarme , of a family" which is stated to be one of the oldest in Belgium . The crime laid to their charge is that of having poisoned the countess ' s brother Gustave' Fougnies , in order to obtain his fortune . ' ¦ '•' - "¦ ¦ ¦¦ ' - ' - The trial of the Count and his wife is now proceeding , and therefore permits us only to give the facts of the case as they are' disclosed by the wit nesses examined , and by the document in form of an indictment , which is usually called acted' accumtiem . ¦ . ¦ ¦ - •"• ¦¦
• Count de Bocarme resided at the chateau of Bury : he married in 184 S , for her fortune , Xydia Fougnies , the daughter of a ' retired grocer ^ - and got with her a sum representing' a hundred a-year of English money . This , after all ; ' waB no great sum . and as the Count was somewhat'of a spendthrift , his affairs assumed gradually a most embar ^ rased state ; His wife ' s brother ] - Gustave - Fougnies , had become possessed , by his father ' s death , of considerable property , and as he wa " 3 unmarried the Count and Countess had every prospect ' of inheriting his fortune . Gustave though weak in ' constitution - and amputated of a leg , "determined in November , 1850 , to marry . ¦ ¦ -. - ' "•" ¦*¦ ' ' : - The state of Count Bocarme ' s exchequer was at
this time quite ruinous ; and it is evident from the depositions of numerous witnesses , that he resorted to the most disreputable artifices to contest the payment-of the smallest debts ; He owed large sums to his legal adviser ? , and had mortgaged most of his property . . Fougnies' marriage would have been a blow to hia hopes . Suddenly the Count became addicted , in the beginning of 1859 , to the study of chemistry . He went under a false name to a manufacturer of alembics , corresponded also under a false name with a professor of chemistry , and ultimately succeeded in distilling from tobacco leaves a deadly poison , known as nicotine , and for which hitherto it has been impossible to find a reactive . - : This poison he tried on various animals , and according to bis own statement he obtained tremendous results , death being instantaneous after the slightest absorption of the poison . In November , 1850 , Gustave Fougnies , who bad hitherto refu .
sed- . to-go to Bury because he feared poison , was in- " duced to accept an invitation to dinner at Bury it being proposed to him to become trustee for the Count and Countess during a voyage they" intended making to Germany . He came on the morning of the 20 th November , and after dinner on the" same day died in the room where were present both the Count and Countess . Bumour spread the report of sudden death , and the officers of justice arrived next morning to report and declare how Gustave Fougnies had died . A ' post mortem examination wbb made , and it was found that death had ensued , not from apoplexy , as at first stated , but from the forcible injection of a poisonous and . corrosive substance . There were marks of violence on the face of the dead man , and part of the poison had run down the side of his face , corroding the flesh and blistering it . An examination of Count Bocarme ' s hands , showed the presence of a bite from human

The Count , however , denied all knowledge of the mode of Fougnies' death , and said only that whilst the three sat after dinner , his brother-in-law cried but and called for him as if in pain ; that he , Bocarme ; ran to assist ; they both fell , and > crutch breakine had wounded his hand ; ^^ . ^ {] f
At this time the doctors had not found out the poison which acted so instantaneously . There were no trases of chemical instruments or of any apparatus for the distillation of poison . . ' . ; The false name assumed by the ' , Count in his dealings with -the chemical . instrument maker , however , became known . After six weeks search the alembics used in producing nicotine , were found , and Bocarme , when informed of these 'discoveries , for a moment gave himself up . ' to despair .- He now admitted that . Gustave Fougnies had drunk . poison distilled by him , but said that he had done so accidentally , it having been given him by Madame de Bocarme , who mistaking it for . wine , poured out some , which he drank . This statement , however , the Countess denied , and she now openly accused her husband of being the murderer . She said that
the precautions taken to remove all' servants from the vicinity of the room where the victinvwas to be despatched were taken by her , at the instigation and orders of her husband . She said that hei | husband speculated on the death of , Gustavo ; that she knew : in the first days of November that . ; the nicotine distilled by her husband had . been prepared for the purpose of destroying her brother , and that on the 20 th . of November Bocarme told her that on that day GustaveVlife would be taken . ( Son affaire wraitfatte . 1 She knew all this , jet when her brother came ahe remained silent . She described how , after dinner , her brother expressed his determination to go home , and Bocarme went out to order his horses . -In his absence she and her brother were
WfflK together , when Bocarme . rushed in , se zed & | te / ? lders « an * threw hi « n down : bne fled , and did not return into the room until all was over , and the body of Gustate lay lifeless on the ground .. .. , , , . . . «^ Countde Bocarme , on examination ; denied having ever ill-treated his wife-they sometimes had domestic quarrels , and she had said that he had beatnrhar . The , accused was then examined as to . his criminal intimacy with a girl in his service , Louis Legrain and his haying obliged his wife to receive their illegitimate offspring . To both 3 au fcW ^ oppe 8 e ? deni al « » ddi ° g ' that the ctald had been received voluntarily by his wife . Madame . de Bocar i . e , on being asked whether this the
was . case replied that she had been constrained to nmn the child , her husband having told her that lfshe did not they must separate . In answer to the question why he wished to learn the process of preparing nicotine , the accused , replied , beoause myfather traded m cotton and tobacco . The studies I pursued wereto ^ scertain . the different qualinT . ri f b , ac co >; I succeeded : . in ascertaining the quality of , tobacco by the greater , or ' less quantity of nicotine . which it , contained . ( Sensation . ) The President continued-rOn the 20 th of November you were , informed , of the arrival of , Gustave at the tbateau ,. and you immediately ' acquainted your wife ?_ As my wife was in the habit of lyinglate in bed , I urged her to rise , as Gustave was co ming . - ?? 2 ¦^ J ! * ul ? is 4 ay I- mean to settle his

( Sensation . ) - How ?—My wife is afraid to speak the truth . I think . she does well . ( Prolonsied . sensation ) - Thi 8 is- language . you have never before uttered . It would be the height of perversity for your wife to act thus . The accused , on being pressed with questions , persisted in maintaining that his wife ought to make false statements and accuse him in order to repel the charges of the indictment . On being asked , Binee his wife was afraid to speak the truth , to deolare ; himself who was the guilty
per son , he , replied , " It is she herself ; but she is innocent . ( Prolonged agitation ) . My wife often is not aware of what she is doing . It was by accident that she . took . the bottle in which there had been wine , but which unfortunately contained nicotine when . Gustave asked for something to drink . It was withoutknowing it that she took this bottle ' and gave its contents to her brother to drink . This bottle was m the closet after it had been brought in the morning from the cellars , to where it was in the closet of the dining room . It , was a mistake which caused this misfortune . " This explanation was received with marks of general surprise . On being further questioned , he said : — «« , M y wife took two glasses and a bottle , placed them on the table
and poured out the contents of the bottle into the glasses .. M . Gustave Fougnies drank , and immediately exclaimed : — « Ah , « acrenom / ' I raisfed my glass to my mouth and instantly pushed it away , exclaiming : — « God ! my wife , this is , poison !' ( Sensation . ) My . wife immediately ran away frightened . Gustave drew near the dumb waiter crying , Aie , aie * Hyppolyte , help . ' -, I went up to him and placed one hand on his shoulder , while with the other I closed his mouth to prevent his screaming . But at the same moment I felt myself seized with a heaviness , and fell back senseless from the effects of the poison . When I arose again I ran to the kitchen to ask for warm water , and found my wife at the door of the vestibule . " After adding
that he had gone into another room , called ' the salon rouge , where he was seized with a-fit of vomiting and'fell against the door , causing a wound on his forehead , he said he , went into his own chamber to seek his wife , and then returned down stairs . On being asked whether ho had not gone to the privy in order to throw away , the bottle containing the nicotine , he replied , that he had not . —President : L ydia Fougnies , you have heavd what your husband says . —Madame Bocarme : I was reading . I could no longer see , and I went out of the room to fetch a light . It was then that I saw Hyppolyte throw Gustave to the ground . —Ifc was then that he cried
out sacre nom ?—Yes , —Did Gustave ask for wine ?—No ; he never drank any but at his meals .-Did you bring a bottle and two glasses?—No ; there is no truth in all that my husband has stated . —He asserts that it was you who involuntarily poisoned your brother ? -It is not so if . it were I should say so ; If I had poisoned him voluntarily I should also avow it . —Tne remainder of the examination turned chiefly on the behaviour of the accused immediately after the poison waa administered , and the orders he had given to wash theb « ldy with vinegar , ¦ to clean the floor , and to have his clothes and those of the deceased placed in a boiler in the washhouse . —The court then ad . journed to the following day . .

The following is the reply of Mr . GK F . Young to the letter of Sir Eobert Peel : — TO THE EDITOR OF THE TIMES . Sir , —The columns of your journal are usually so free from offensive personalities , that I was somewhat surprised at observing this morning , that I am stigmatised byname as a "miserable impostor , " in a letter bearing a signature which even I should have imagined would have constituted a security against coarse vulgarity . It appears I was miataken . The present Sir Robert Peel ' s taste in composition is on a par with his eloquence . I shall not bandy . 8 currility with the hon . baronet ; be appears to be a proficient in the art , and I am unacquainted
with it . But he is unfortunate in the designation be has affixed to my name . lam conscious of many defects ; I' may entertain erroneous opinions ; I may commit indiscreet actionsj but I . never , put forward personal pretensions , therefore I am not an impostor , the convictions I entertain conscientiously I express fearlessly ; but I never attempt to deceive others by professing what I do not believe ; and I never deceived myself into a belief that I was so capable of expounding the sentiments I honestly entertain as the friends of Protection throughout the country have been pleased to consider me . It has been only at their earnest solicitation that I . have ever attended any of . the ' numerous meetings in
which , at much sacrifice of' time , convenience , and expense , I have taken part ; nor have I ever originated or stimulated any of them . ' But I sincerely rejoice they have been held , and I am proud that I have been permitted to offer even the humble por- ; tion I have , contributed to their uniform and signal success . ; . And now , air , having shown , what is not , allow me briefly to describe what , in my judgment , is an impostor . If . a man should be discovered who , representing a pure and virtuous Sovereign in a foreign embassy , should be discreditably distinguished as a profligate and a gambler ; if as a member Of a British House of Commons he should' aspire to the dignity of an orator , " write his ' speeches , and break
down in delivering" them ; if ; after breathing for years the atmosphere of . the very land of freedom , he should return to his native soil , professing to be the champion of liberal principles , and be found practising on his vassal tenantry the moit contempt ! - ble freaks of impotent tyranny—should such a man be discovered , well indeed might he be branded bb an impostor ; and if he should have ventured to fling tbe foul epithet at men more upright and consistent than himself , deservedly might he be set down as a calumniator -also !

tyranny .

: . , MONDAY , Josb 2 . HOUSE OF LORDS . —Lord L ^ sdutoht said that he Bawthat Lord John Russell- was about to bring in a fresh bill for the improyement of the administration of justice in the Court of Chancery , He hoped that the Lord Chancellor would have more hand in this measure than he seemed to have
had in the . last , and he wished particularly to draw his attention to the satisfactory working of an act passed last , session , which had effected a great reform in the Irish Court of Chancery . The Lord Chancellor thanked his noble friend fov calling his attention to the subject . Some of the facts stated , as : to the progress of Chancery reform in Ireland had taken him , by surprise , but he would make inquiry into the matter , anil spare , no pains to make the bill , about to be laid before the house as effective as possible .
i After some further desultory discussion the subject dropped .. 1 . . . . . ' . The order of the day for the Registration , of Assurances Bill was discharged on the motion of Lord Campbell , and the 'further consideration of the measure postponed till after Whitsuntide . Lord Wharncxiffe moved for certain papers connected with public works and internal improvements in India , and after , entering at . some detail into , what had been done and had not been done in theBe respects in India , admitted that the Indian government had lately taken steps in a right direction , which he hoped would not bo interrupted by any new hostilities , ¦ . ¦' . ¦
Lord Bhouguton agreed with almost every word that had fallen from Lord Whavncliffe , and had no objection to produce the papers , adding , in conelusion , that he concurred entirely in the hope expressed by his noble friend , that no more wars would . occur . to interfere . with those measures that wei'e-necessary . for . the ; improvement of India and the development" of her resources . , ;; . , ... ; Lord EiiLENBonouGH . expressed his . - gratification that this , motion had been " brought forward , and gavohis ' opinion on several-measures of improvement as . necessary for : the commercial prosperity of India . . : S . .: w ; , , •!¦„;•) . > , ; ; -., ! ¦ . . . r /!

HOUSE OF COMMONS .-Tiie No "House . "Sir J . Wauisley complained with reference to the " no boose" of Tuesday , that sufficient notice of the Speaker being at prayers had not been given to honourable members serving on committees upstairs to enable them to be in the house in time . The Speaker said he had made inquiries if ' the belb had been duly rung , and . messengers bad gone to the committeo-rooiDs with tho usual notice , and was informed that this had been done at the proper time . , Mr . Home admitted that tho anouncement that the Speaker was at prayers had been properly made , but complained that tho distance of the committee-rooms prevented members from reaching the house in time . -
Sir R . IxGLis . —Four years ago the house had the advantage of the electric telegraph in communicating with committees . ( A laugh , ) An Honourable Member . —Had we not better lay down a railway ? ( A laugh . ) Sir R . Inolis . —Every member , however , ought to be in the house at a quarter before four . Mr . Ewart bore tositmony to the fact that ample notice was yesterday given to the committee of which he and the honourable member for Bolton ( Sir J . Walmsley ) were members , Sir . J . Walmslet . —All he could say was that he left the committee-room before the officer delivered the notice , ( hear and a laugh ); and that
nrcviousto , doing so hc expressed his anticipation to the members of tlie committee that an effort would be made , as had been done before on Mr . Hume ' s motion , to prevent a house being formed . Sir J . " 6 nAiiAM . ~ The honourable member for Oxford had alluded to a rapid means of communication—the electric telegraph . When he ( Sir J . Graham ) first camo into that house , many years ago , there was a practice somewhat slower , " buthofc less sure—namely , the sergeant-at-arms went round to the various committee-rooms and summoned the members to the house ; and the revival of a practice of that kind might not , he thought , be inexpedient now .
Mr . BROTnERioN said the Speaker entered the nouso yesterday at ten minutes to four ; that the bell was rung in fivo minutes after ; and that there was ample time for members to have been , present . Mr . W . Williams said that forty or fifty members were in the lbbbey when the houBO was counted , some of whom seized him by tho coat , to prevent his entering the house . ( A laugh . ) , Mr . S . Cra \ yfoud suggested , as a remedy , that the evening sittings Bhould be assimilated to tbe rules by which the morning sittings were regulated ; so that the house might not be counted out until eigM o ' clock in the evening . ( " Oh ! oh ! " and
Mr . Reynolds said that when he was on his way to the house he met at least forty members in tho avenues leading to it . ( A laugh . ) But he feared that upon such notions as Mr . Hume ' s it would require a much more powerful machinery than that of the electric telegraph to ensure the attendance of that number of members , ( near , and a laugh . ) . , * . . » Mr . H .

( Vehement cheering . ) And now , gentlemen , I will not pollute my lipB , neither will I desecrate the objects of the present meeting , by further reference to a matter which is , as 1 have already said , of ao purely a personal nature . 1 will consign it to the contempt which it richly deflerves . ( Renewed cheers ) .
