The LOTTER' TRIAL OF THE QUEEN. TENTH DAY-IN CONTINUATION. HOUSE OF LORDS, AUGUST 211. Lord GREY said it was a question whether it was not in cumbent upon their Lordships to drop the proceedings alto gether—(Hear, hear).—lf he understood the proposal of those, who had instituted the proceedings, it was that the House should no longer allow her Majesty's Counsel that latitude which they had pledged themselves to sanction; and that if, after an examination and cross-examination, it should appear that facts arose which it would be necessary to elucidate or contradict, no opportunity should be afforded for accom plishing that very important object—(Hear, hear).—He had supposed that the peculiar difficulties in which her Majesty was placed, by the bringing forward against her a number of vague and indefinite charges, and by refusing her the list of winterises, would have been in some degree compensated for, by granting her Counsel the power of crosseexaminine the evi dence against her, under circumstances that would leave no cause of complaint. If, after having assured the Queen's Coun sel of this indulgence, some reasons arose for restraining their power, he would advise their Lordships to consider well be fore they wculd withdraw the privilege of the queen's Counsel, and hear them urge their arguments against such a proceeding. It was not his intention to go back to the arguments up . on the propriety of granting a li4t of witnesses; he should merely allude to them, for the purposes of elucidation. Ile 'Assented that the House had not adopted the advice of his Noble Friend (Lord Erskine). If they had done ep, those difficulties which now presented themselves would N.o longer exist, and, the considers. Con of the present question, calculated as it was to protract the proceedings, would have been rendered wholly unnecessary.— He (Duel Grey) was the first who had proposed to their Lord ships to grant a particular specification of the charges and of the witnesses, and he would ask their Lordships to consider whether there was an example upon record of a person, he had almost said a criminal, having been charged with a number of acts: wi•hout a specification of those charges? This was a departure from the ordinary course of justice altogether, as he had before expressed himself, but the house had thought otherwise. He did not arraign the judgment of the House ; but when he was told that the granting those advantages which were granted upon all other caers,were contrary to all precedent, he must dissent from it. It was argued, that if the imputed offence had been committed in England, the charge would have been one of high treason. How then would her Majesty have been proceeded against? She would have had, by law, a specification of the charges, a list of witnesses, and all other advantages which were now de nied to her. If she had been proceeded against in the other road, that of divorce, a course stated to be equally unmain tainable with that of proceeding against her upon a charge of high treason, as the King being Head of the Church, was not amenable to the Ecclesiastical Courts, what would have taken place? She then would be furnished with a distinct specifica tion of charges, a list of witnesses, and as much time for taking full advantage of all those privileges as was necessary for the completion of the case. Besides, if any new matter came out in the course of the investigation, she would be allowed to doun terplead, and to call witnesses to support her argument.—(Hear). Was it then asking too much to request that her Counsel should be permitted to cross-examine, under such circumstances as would in some degree compensete for the refusal of those ad vantages? Certainly not. It had been,distiactly stated by their Lordships that her Majesty shoulu have an equivalent for those advantages, and could the)' with propriety refuse that which was the only thing that could answer the purposes of en equiva e ient. :Is to a precedent upon velsich the person charged could be strewn to be entitled to a spectlicetion of the charges and a list of witnesses, the cese of the Dechess of Norfolk, which had been cited at their Lordships' bar, furnished our of great force. A divorce having been applied for in that I Icuse without any I erevioue proceeding in the Ecclesiastical Court, a specification of the charges was applied for and übtsired. A hat of wit nesses was also applied for and obtained—(llene, hear).— Those advantages had been granted upon the special ground of the peculiar circumstances in which the Duchess was said to stand ; and the I louse thought fit to grant, without hesitation, that which they now deuied to the queen of England. Nay, even a preliminary examination of the witnesses, for the purpose of ascertaining their places of residence and other important par tit:tilers, was permitted. It was not his wish to arraign the de ci,ion of their Lordships, hut having adopted a course by which the Queen would be furneled with an equivalent for the advan sages granted to everybody else, they were bottod to consider well whether they shrink' take away from her Maie , ty's Counsel the privileges which they had promised? He had understood that a reservation Of cross-examination was to be made. He was aware of the numerous inconveniencies resulting from this course, but these inconveniencies amounted to nothing when put in com parison with the injury that must result from a dcroul of those privileges. There wa s but one of three courses to be adopted.— The first was to abandon the proceedings altogether. The se cond wa4 to correct the error into which they had Arcady by furnishing a Do of witnesses, and a specification of charges, and the third was to do. that which they had engaged to da, by allowing the ptesent Counsel to reserve a cross-examination fir a subsequent period. He knew that an accumulation of diffi culties must necessarily arise out of the last course, but if one of the three were not adopted, a severe wound would be inticted upon the. character of that House. The question upon which they were now engaged was one upon which the public opinion .ought to have an influence. The cha racter of that House had suffered already in the public opinion, and how much more would it suffer if their Lordships consented to depart from their rule at the suggestion of the Counsel for the Crown? We understood Lord Eases* then to move, that Counsel should be calked in. Lord RE NV I LLE said, it was not necessary to make any positive rule to allow the Counsel for the Crown to call a witness a second time, if any new fact or circumstance arose which wouki render such second examination to the interest of their client, since this would be granted in every• Court of Justice, and much more so in that House, which would grant, without reserve and without restriction, liberty for the Counsel to bring every circumstance forward favourable to the defence. The re examination of a witness had already been found of great im portance; but on Saturday their Lordship* had adopted a course of proceeding that did not extend but limited the right of defence They had interrupted Counsel in asking a question, which, if cross-examination was at all to be allowed, he certainly bad a right to put. But in that interruption their Lordships looked to the effect the question might have on a future cross-exami nation. Thrill. Lordships; had, unfortunately, set the example of limiting and restricting the cross-examination for the defence, and had thus violated a rule they had laid down but an hour 'before. Their Lordships had interrupted the Counsel in a question which, according to the rules of law and the prin ciples of justice, ought to have been permitted—(Hr r, hear). — Their Lordships had now nothing to du but to recur to the course they first adopted, which was, not to 'reetraie the Coun sel from putting any question which he considered of import ance to the interests of his client ; and as, from a list of witnesses having been refused, his knowledge of each witness must be ins perfect, he should afterwards be allowed to again cross-exa mine any witness that he thought necessary to be re-exa mined. Their Lordships ought to listen with the most favoura ble ear, and to give greater latitude than in ordinary cases.— If they proceeded any further in their proceedings, this ought to be the course they should adopt. The only question now was, what was to be communicated to Counsel when they were called in? If their Lordships adopted any rule of proceeding which the 'Counsel thought injurious to their client, they must hear that tounsei. Their Lordships, on Saturday, had acted wrong its asking Counsel what deviation they wished from the ordinary course of examination? for was it ever knoe:ri that any Court of Justice, much leas the High Court of Parliament, ap plied t.) Counsel for advice. Their Lordships should adopt their own plan, and, if objectionable, hear Counsel against it. The Earl of LIVERPOOL rose to correct an error into which the Noble Marquis (Jeansclown) had fallen. Whets ha (Lord Liverpool) wished to offer an equivalent to her Majesty's Counsel for any disadvantage under which they supposed they laboured, by not having a list of witnesses, au adjourned cross examination was never contemplated; but that if new facts or new circumstances rendered it necessary, the House would feel no hesitation in allowing witnesses to be re-examined. He %elated particularly to impress on their Lordships, that there was no understanding in the mind of any individual, or its the House collectively, to allow an adjourned cross-examination. Earl G REY did understand that the equivalent to the defence for not giving a list of witnesses was, that the Counsel should choose their own time for the cross-examination; that is, either to make it immediately after the examination in chief, or to be deterred altogether. Lord ItEi)ESDALE made some remarks, which were in audible below the Bar. The LORD CHANCELLOR was proceeding to put tke Resolution, when The Earl of LIVERPOOL wished it to be understood, that it was only on some new fa. t or circumstance arising that the Counsel for the defence should be entitled to apply for a new examination of any witness. A long desultory debate ensued as to the form of the commu nication to be made to the Counsel; the speakers were Lord Exonsosxx, Lord LAUDERDALE, Lord Dowoucauoax, Marquis of Lassoows, Earl Rossini, Lord Lrrintroox, Lord Ensxurr, Lord CALLNARVON, and Lord ELLEN11011,01;01i. It was finally ordered that Counsel should be called in. Counsel having presented themselves at the Bar, The LORD CHANCELLOR stated, that he bad it in com mand from the House to inform them, that it having been pro posed that the House should discharge the Order made on Sa. turday, for hearing them on the mode of proceeding which was then adopted, and that the Counsel for her Majesty should now proceed with the cross-examination of the witness last before the House in the usual way; under this understanding that they might afterwards apply to have the witness re-examined in con sequence of any facts and circumstances coming to their know ledge not presently known. 1-lis Lordship had it now also in command from the House to say, that if the Counsel for the in terests of her Majesty had any objections to make to this course of proceeding, the House were ready to hear them. Mr. BROUGHAM now commenced one of the most eloquent and argumentative speeches which has yet been made in support of the case for the Queen. The Learned , Counsel said, that he might have felt under some difficulty had he been called upon to state any course of proceeding which was less-objectionable or liable to fewer exceptions than that now proposed to be followed by their Lordships; but that the difficulty was not great when he was called upon to say whether any objections existed to that course of proceeding, and whakthose objections were. Ile would first of all beg leave to say, on the part of her Majesty's Counsel, in vindication of their interposing any objection at all, that what ever difficulty existed in the case, the dculty was none of their making. Whatever difficulties there were, be they many or few— whatever obstacles now presented themselves, be they great or small, or even altogether insurmountable—they did not arise from any fault on the part of her Majesty's advisers. The party patronizing the Bill—hi s M a j est y s Attortr-y-general— had had his own way in everything. The Counsel for her Majesty had made made many objections to the course of proceeding followed, but it had always seemed good to the wisdom and justice of their Lordships to rejeet.every suggestion of theirs, and to adopt the course proposed by their opponents. If, after having done so, the lIous: found themselves in any difficulty, he was entitled to say, that that difficulty had arisen from re;ecting the supplications made on the part of her Majesty ; and this it was which formed tire strongest reason ' he could possibly urge against the course of proceeding now pro ', posed to be followed. It was a most cogent reason why an ex traordivary ludo:gene': should be granted to the Counsel for her Majesty, that they had been thwarted in every attempt they had made to obtain whatever was ordinarily allowed in all cases, whether civil or crimileal--(licar, hear, hear). — They had been denied what was Anted in every ease, and therefore it was that they claimed indulgencies which were called for in no other case. Their Lordships had refused a list of witnesses without her Majesty's Counsel ever having been • heard in support of the demand fur it—the decision was made on a motion by one of their Lordships own number. - But what was still more extraordinary, their Lordships had refused a specification of the places where the alleged acts oteriminality ; had taken plade. Li a case of High Treason the indictment I *mild have stated the county where it would be proved the crime was committed; but here the rpm; was spread over j three quarter:, of the globe—Europe, Asia, and Africa! In some one or other of the empires, kingdoms, provinces, cities, ports, town% countries, inhabited and uninhabited, wiltkernanws, PUP !"-‘1•:' N-PENCE. rivers, seas, &c. of the said three quarters of the earth.— This it was which formed the t.east extraordinary of all the pe culiarities in this extraordinary proceedi..e. The party accused knows nut when or where the crime with which she is charged is allcrid to have been committed. This was tile defence of Inno cence, not of guilt. If there were gniat, a knowledge of the ' places might exist, and, of course., an ide.t of the pm - tinder na ture of the charges would suggest itself. But because the ac cused was not in those places, and because she was innocent, no judgment could be formed as to the persons of the wito nesse e or the places of which they spoke. Upon the second de. mand their Lordships had also decided without hearing Counsel ; and, notwithstanding that peculiarity of her Majesty's situation, and the difficulties which the Bill of Pains and Penalties heaped upon her, the advantages granted to others were denied to her. Fier Neje:ova: Counsel had ventured to conclude that they had oloained the meining of their Lord:hips' order; that in lieu of the advantages denied they were to have certain advantages peculiar to the case, t:evi:vd l.y the wisdom and justice of their Lerdships, to meet the diffieulties in which their Lordships' justice and wisdom had placed her. It was little thought by her Majesty's Counsel, that when those advantages came to be sifted, they would be found to be the common advantages allowed in all Courts of Justice, as matter of indisputable right It was little dreamt that the comfort her Majesty was to have tinder her first disappointment was all to be taken away by a re fusel of everything. After having made such assurances, would they depart from that rule which they bid promised to be it:flu enced by if the Queen's situation was without all parallel in any judicial proceedings that ever were known to have existed? Then, it was equally unprecedented to deny her the only means of defence. In the case of the Duchess of Norfolk, all the ad vantages here denied were granted. The Duke was called upon to state the particular periods and places when and where the acts were said to have been committed. The use of the Duchess of Norfolk was one of barren interest. Iler Proctor attended at the Bar. On the 14th January an order was made by their Lordships; upon the Duke to specify the places and witnesses. On the 16th, the specification was objected to, as of to;, general a nature. The same day the objection was answered, and a more particular specification ordered. When the examination proceeded, the Proctor of the Duchess appeared before their Lordships, who, at his suggestion, delayed the examination in chief three days to obtain materials for a cross-examination- This great leading case was that to which their Lordships should look for a guidance in their proceedings. To say that it was no authority was childish sporting. Upon that famous case, three or four witnesses swore directly to the fart of adultery; but, notwithstanding those depositions (so material was the cross-examination, not one word of which could have been given, except a specification of witnesses had been supplied, the evidence was discredited, and t heir Lordships threw out the Bill). How monstrous and crying an injustice was it to pretead to found a denial of the advantages sought for upon the practice of the Courts of Law? Such was the wiy in whe.h they were de sired to look into the Courts of Westminster. In ordinary cases, examinations never remained unquestioned, and should this case furnish a solitary instance of the permission of that !louse to let the evidence remain unexamined to a canyti.i,oht perit,d, for the purpose of beirg digested ? Was the evidence to go forth to the Public basely and malignantly misrepresented ? Sup pose a witness goes through a fair examination, such as we may say the first witness tiatlerwent, yet under what stalking slisadv.unag -e shies a Counsel labour in the cross-examination, who, until that moment, was ignorant of his existeace., name place of reaidenen or the facts that he was culled on to prove. If their Lordships had allowed a list of witnesses, and I specification of the places where the crime was alleged to have been committed, and had granted the two months' delay asked by the Ceunsel for her Majesty, instead of suf ferieg the charges to ga forth, then they (the Counsel) would have had no diffirul:y, nor would they have asked for any delay. To their Lordships, however, it seemed good to do otherwhe. It was, i eh cd , extren-.ely easy for Noble Leeds to say, do as in Courts of Law, and to assert that it would he wrong to allow any breathing-time for the defence; but they should also consider how totally different these proceedings were fiom these in the lower Courts of Justice. Did Noble Lords believe that there was such virtue in Counsel, or such magic in the dress they wore, that the moment a witness comes and states anything, the Counsel may be enabled from his ap pearance to know what he is, or whether he speaks the truth not?tar One serious injury in the present case was, thet ail the examinations on one side were permitted to go forth and poison the public mind, and that the Judges in this tribunal mixed in► finitely more with the Public than in ordinary cases. " Suppose, mid the Learned Counsel, that a month hence it is discovered -that A B, a witness, has received a sum of money for swearing against.the Queen, nay, that the condition of his receiving that sum was the conviction of her Majesty, and Learned Lords know how important it would be to prove such a fact, yet I cannot do this, according to law, until I have cross-examined the witness. I ask hint, dal you receive so and so? If be confesses. I gain my point ; if he denies it, then I bring forward my proof." The Learned Gentleman continued.—There were numberless ways to impeach the credibility of a witness, and among them that of counter-deeffiretions was very important. He appealed to those accustomed to be in the Courts of Law, hew many counter-declarations had been elicited by a sifting cross-exami nation ; but he was to be fettered here to cror-enunining a wit ness of whom he knew nothing, and then not to have any op portunity of examining him after, unless he came before their Lordships, asked a hearing, and stated wleat he meant to prove. His Learned Friends oe the opposite side, although they appeared here for nobode, would not fail seizing the advantages of which they woad thus become possessed:— Was it ever known, since we had just Judges and bold Counsel, that the nature of a cross-examination should be stated before it commenced ? If so, it was a mockery to call it a cross-exa mination : it was asking fur a permission which he (the Counsel) would disdain to accept as a favour, but demand as a right from a Court of Justice; and yet their Loid:hips appealed to' those Courts where no Judge would date to refus e it. The Learn e d- Counsel said, the astonishment of him self, and those who were engaged with him, was as great as their disappointment, that all the favourable anticipation raised by thsir Lordships :haunt be nothing—that the cup et hops should be dashed from their lips— that they should labour under greater doedvantars than ever. Their Lordships compelled them to hear wi nesses on subjects Of which they were ignorant, and facts elk eed to have been com mitted all over the globe. When the House had come to this ill-omened situation, dee Counsel for the Qtecn were allowed to State their objections to the proceeding. 'hat Learned Counsel concluded a speech replete with force and elegance by imploring their Lordships to pause before they plunged tutu any new difficulty. Mr. DENMAN rose, and with much eloquence protested, as Counsel for the Illustrious accused, against a course of proceed lag which tended to make her Majesty's Coursel parties against her, and to deprive her of the legitimate grounds of dte'ence.— Ile contended that there was no security for the Qiteit—no se curity for the meanest subject—no security fcr any individual iu that august assembly, it a person charged with as offerer should be deprived of the right of a free, full. uarestricted, no. shackled cross examination ; for it was on that the innocence of the accused often materially depended—(Hean hear, hear). — If they were deprived of the means of sifting the evidence, not in a particular way, but freely and fully, when furnished with the means of doing so, the life of every man would be at the mercy of any infamous suborned wretch that alight be brought to swear against Mtn. It was on legal points, and dry techni calities, that he was speaking; but he would appea) to their Lordships, and caution them to beware how they laid down rules from which they must afterwards depart; and to be ware how they stripped an unfortunate accused of all means of defending themselves from an attack.—( Hear, hear, hear Here the Learned. Counsel stated the great advantages whis t a person accused of High Treason possessed over her Majesty.
