Swett, but be was now satisfied, and %wished to bear no Tunis. Every suspicion, therefore, as to the motives of this more of thens-b-(1/sordisar,kerw). alteration, must be removed. A second change then took Adjourned at twenty minutes past 'Mee • tee, on the e Queen h ret ad ura of the vessel homewards with the Princees. 4 --- • — the awning on deck converted into a sort THE EVENING of tent, and there, for the remainder of the voyage, she STAR. repotted. What was the cause of this change ? There were seven horses and two asses in the hold. the stench from LONDON. which made it impossible for her Royal Highness to remain . below. What then was the next inference ? Why, that under that same tent Bergami slept with her Royal Highness ER for four or five nights. Whether he slept there once, or twice. or always, he neither knew nor cared. He would feel m uch 4'131 iei; astoredif his Learned Friends would venture to say that the ado a LT belie of Mr. Hownam, arising p artl y from hearsay, could be g r 4 undin a criminal proceeding for holding such a fact proved; it er:C would be the first instance of the kind since English jurisprudence 4avy had taken shape or form. He was far from wishing to defend the a BI Queen by forcing upon his Learned Friends the deficienc dye- of -Om evidence: by which their case was suppor ted ; very far from siring to extort from their Lordships a verdict of Not Guilty, while there remained on their minds the slightest impression of guilt. In the name of the Qu een, he disclaimed and abandoned ' JE any such imperfect acquittal. He would rather account it It 0 happiness and a blessing to h ave a verdict of Guilty pronounced at once, than that his Illustrious Cl ient should go forth from 5.3 their or dships' Bar, acquitted in name, but d is g raced, disho- Lng noured, and degraded, in the private opinions of all those whose opinions were worth regarding. " No, my L ords," said the ilt Learned Counsel (Doctor Lu shin g ton), " I say this : that, tlinl granting that Bergami slept under the same tent with her re Majesty, granting that he s le p t the night after night, I will ie.h all -1 justify it." Ile had aliewn, that there was good and sufficient eeason for her Majesty sleeping on deck. He would now ask, what sort of tent it was she slep t in? It was a misnomer to call i el it a tent. It was the awning of the ship, which extended across Qv nearly the whole breadth of the ship, and was gathered together hat in the clumsiest manne r ; fas tened with pins, and accessible to ;chi - e very one, who had only to turn the canvas aside to enter at plea- sok sure, It was not even formed and fastened so as to exclude the winds; nay, when it was once remarked t o her Ma j esty, that the tent or awning impeded the course of the vessel, she eat' said that she would as soon sleep without it. This was not all: it appeared from the e vidence, that besides the men to, at the helm, tligre never were less than ten men on deck during in I the night ; that the hatchway was always open - and that, be sides, both the Queen and Bergami remained dre ssed during the Us, whole night. But it was said that there was no light under the ITN teat. True it was; but h ow was that fact explained? It had been shewn by the evidence, that the Queen bad bee n a a advised to have no lights undr the tent, on accouinks:ll. nt of foul the danger the ship was at that time in, from p So much, then, for the opp ortunities. To some now to the WS C d t} evidence of what actually p assed under the tent. Majoechi s wears, that, sleeping below , he heard the creaking of a bed on the deck above; and the onl y inference the Learned Counsel ere I c o uld draw from this creaking was, that an act of adultery had iU I b een committed. This was riaiet: etl lous enough, but look how t h e evidence of ltlajocchi was confirmed. Some the he s ii w i tne sses stated, that sleeping where Majocchi did of , could not have heard what he pretended and swore he had hard : and none of those, who from being on deck during the ime night, must at least have heard anything of the kind much better But than Majocchi—neither Garguilo, the Master, nor Paturzo, the Mate—nor Lieutenant Flynn, the Captain of the veasel—had oses deposed even to the semblance of such a fact. How unjust was 1 01 it to draw an inference of guilt from the m ere existence of a possible opportunity, when d etection was so easy, he bad almost tilt sho said so unavoidable. What ! wa s it to be credited, that her Majesty wou ld exchange her bed, in the cabin below, where, if she bad entert ained the criminal passion imp uted to her, she could have Zee I indulged it free from all intrusio n or observation --was she, 45 4 fur any inconvenience t o which she might be there subjected, to exchange it f ,, r a couch up on deck, where she was to be o th exposed to inconveniences of a tenfold worse descript i o n—where far he could only repose with hey clothes on—where she was liable every mo ment to intrusion—where she was exposed On l to the curious eyes of the lowest individual on board the 11 g s hi p — w here the first gust of wind mi g ht sweep the cover ing from over her head , an d ex p ose her to the observation g , b , of a whole ship's crew in that very act of crimMality which .that was imputed, so falsely, so foully imputed to her ! Could their bat Lordship lend an ear to anything so grossly, so extravagantly impropable ! Never, too, let their Lotdships forget that remark- 1 hil a it able fact, that her Majesty , feeling under the tent or awning the sa me as if the eyes of all the w orld were u p on her, had said at z I o nce on the observation being made to her that the thout tent with imp it - ravi ded the ship, tha t s he wonideels soon sleep wi as . Was such a fact as this to b e * p ossibl y reconciled with the sup- sari position of any guilty intender.? He would not appeal to the tan ; r e asoning of his Learned Friends, for reasoning therind none, e th but he would defy all their legal eoph stry to reconcile such a )rinl fact with the ordinary principles which regulate the actiomi of human life. The Judge who could condemn an individual on ECTiI such an inference as that here contended for, would be guilty port of nothing less than a judicial murder ! The Learned Counsel, d ? (Dr. Lushington) then proceeded to animadvert with the same er e eloquence and acuteness on what was called the bath scene.— What must be the malignity of the temper and the diepositiOn of rsist tose— w hat must be their rancorous feelings--who could dare b to bring before this High and distinguished Tribunal a case which rho' must stand for ever blasted as a mockery of just ice ! Their Lord- y tal ships might here s ee what a vicious disposition would attempt, is pc re that of perverting innocence to g uilt, iu order to ruin the p first s ubject in the British Empire — the Q ueen Cohsort of his Majesty. In the mass of contemptible evidence with which this prosecu- i de tion was loaded, there was that of Galdini, who stated, that he to 1 weut toe room in the... Willa d'Este to look for Guggiere, and at CI there saw her Royal Highness and Bergami together. H. begged their Lordships to look at this monstrous babaimprobai- ionl fit pe-sa common mason, going to look for his master royal palace, meets no servant, no Laterruption, but passes, undis- at ti Wised, into the room of the Queen. lie says, he opened the 3 011 door and shut it instantly.but he saw Bergand with his arm round the neck of the Queen, and her neck bare; and yet he dues not we know whether they were sitting on a bed, a sofa, or a chair. r the He says be escaped in the twinVing of an eye, and yet he ae- l bm kuowledged stopping long enough for Berganai to say to him oSe , " What do you want here, you dog? this is no place for masons." This was a fine sample of the evidence his Learned Friend had. - auk , b r ought forward—the man re all y seemed a distinct specimen of he c ma th e human species, and ought to be exhibited at Exeter (liana. il Then, in regard to the bathing in the B rescia, a river only three- ERN qua rters efa yard deep—no danger of drowning; and this .Ma was at least one instance of Royal Highness's prudence; and the witness who s aw them sa y s, that when they came out 10lit 11 , -..t. . of the water, their clothes were wet at the top ! As to Mahomet's ; spe dance lie would not trouble their Lordships. Ile (Dr. Lushington) e-enl bad wished to procur e him as an evidence, to exhibit it before MLA their Lordships! in this, however, he was disappointed; but they would soon have the opportunity of witnessing him on a catic larger stage, as he un derstood Mr. Elliston had engaged him to ottpl perform it at Drury - La ne Theatre! se 0 i The Learned Doctor then proceeded to notice the affairs a t e to the Baroua and Carlsruhe , and commented in strong terms on the co nd u ct of the Minister of the Gra nd Duke of Baden, who must Writ lat 2 in have either stated a false hood, or Barbara Kress: there was no a l terna tive whatever, unless to suppose b oth cases, which he ,1 thought extremely probab le. There was one fact, however, nt in incontestable —influence had f ailed to p rocure witnesses for the Queen, where influence had p rocured evidence against her ! )efot The Learned Counsel next alluded to the reason why t he tun Countess Oldi, the sister of De Mont, Schiavini, and William funk A ust in, had not been called for the Q ueen : this was not ne- in& ce ssery, a; the Queen's defence w as triumphant without them. i und es i B u t had this been necessary , he would not have brought forward f e males to expose them to the merciless fangs of such a cross-ex- , that am l ua tion 31 that to which lad y C .

Dr:I.J7SHINGTON'S Address to the House of Peers, yesterday, produced a strong impression on their Lordships ; and, indeed, it is impossible even to read it without receiving and feeling such convictions of the justice of the cause which he advocates, as can alone-be produced by the all-powerful influence of unsophisticated truth. Was ever woman so unde servedly slandered as the QUEEN of ENGLAND ? Slandered I Was this all that was purposed against her MAJESTY? And is not this monstrously wicked —especially when we look at the stain-spring whence has flowed the torrent of 'calurnny ? When we look at the Agents who, from a lust of power in some—and of reward in others, have been en gaged in this foul, traitorous, and treasonable con spiracy ! It is true, as observed by this learned Ad vocate, that though 'Kings are, in many respects, above the laws of man, it would be impiety to affirm that they are above the laws of Goo : and, we add, nor are they placed beyond the power of his super intending government. Were it otherwise, how could innocence be vindicated in any case in which the Minions of Power, to please their Master, might will - the ruin of an unprotected individual—a miserable outcast, made so by no crime, but by the caprice of his or her persecutors? But "Ha who shelters the shorn lamb," often interposes defence, in unforeseen ways, for the helpless and oppressed : HE, " before whom the darkness is as the light," brings to light " the hidden works of dishonesty," and " takes the crafty in their own snares:" Hz, who established the laws of the Universe, says to the contrivers of wickedness and ruin, as to the sea at first, " Hitherto • shalt thou come, and no farther." Did the conspirators against the QUEEN ever once imagine that a plot so well got up, according to their own view of the bantling, but so despicable in the eyes of common sense—that a plot fostered by such ample means—supported by such yeritabie testimony —vouched for by such high legal authority and learning—brought upon such a stage—decorated with such an imposing paraphernalia—managed with such address and gravity! We say, did these conspirators ever once suffer themselves to imagine the possibility of what has actually taken place, that the whole should bettome the laughing-stock and de rision of mankind, and bring upon as contrivers their ' contempt, scorn, and execration? But is this al l that 'the contrivers, the supporters, and the dupes of The conspiracy have to dread ? Time, which has already effected what they never expected, will answer the question. Will Ministers still persist in attempting to carry this odious Bill through Parliament, notwithstanding the exposure that has already taken place? A veryfew hours , may possibly decide this point--nay, will decide it, if there be any truth in a report very general last night, " that Ministers have determined, now that the Queen's case is closed, to proceed no further with the Bill ; and that one great cause of their adopting this resolution is, an intimation from several of the most dii tingUished of the Tory Nobility (whose names are con fidently mentioned), that they cannot possibly vote for the measure."—Should our Reports from the House contirm this fact (for we are writing these observa tions while waiting for them), n e shall rejoice to find, 'that our coontry still boasts a high-spirited Nobi lity, adorned with those virtues which alone confer real dignity on high rank. • Whatever may be the degree of credit due to the above rumour, it is certain, that, in consequence of a sign from Lord LIVERPOOL, the Lords GREY and GRENVILLE, and the. Marquis of LANSDOWN, with drew with him for about a quartet of an hour, while Dr. LUSHINGTON was speaking yesterday, and that Lord GREY, on his re-entering the House, went im mediately to Lord HOLLAND, to whom he seemed to make some communication. With this it is impossible almost to avoid coupling another circumstance, which, to the surprise of many, occurred yesterday, but which will cease to be any longer surprising if the forego:4 statement shall prove well founded— namely, the tact, that as soon as Dr. LUSHINGTON sat down, Earl GREY immediately withdrew his no tice of the important Motion for the production of the evidence given before the Milan Commission, is, from what had since transpired, he found it MIMEO. sary to make any further inquiry on the subject.... This fact the Morning Oronsck considers as 6 , pee. fectlyilecisive of an u n derstanding between Ministers and the Opposition that the Bill *to be withdrawn:" and we think it next to impossible to draw any other conclusion. But we have yet another, and a powerful reason, for believing that it is now decided that this abomi nable and putrid Bill is about to be consigned “to at tomb of all the Capulets," and that the funeral ;obsequies are now in actual preparation, and by thoie too who bigat and nurtured the filthy banding ; and it is this :--ihe amiable and veil dutiful son m-law of the Qualm, his Royal Highness Prince LEOPOLD, yesterday 'found his way to Brandenburgh House,' to enquire after the health of 'her MAJESTY !! From this it is impossible to avoid inferring, that either the Bill is abandonid, or the age of miracles bas retuned . . bUt, as we ate not among the n umber of those,pho ' ffic have filth in the eacy of the Royal .

The Court Circular , on the'ccintrary, gives . the following account:—" Prince LEOpoul;called at. Brandenburgh Hohse yesterday, to inquire after the health of the QUEEN, having been ipfnrmed that her MAJESTY had been taken suddenly ill. His Royal Highnesidid not alight from his carriage, but Colonel ADDENBILOOKZ was deputed to make the necessary inquiries of Lady A. HAMILTON." . We might. mention yet another reason for the ex, petted demise of the .Bill ; but it comet from rather a suspicious quarter, we mean the City, which is .often affected with the tainted atmosphere of the Stock Exchange: we mean a report current this morning, that " Lord LIVERPOOL has sent in his re signation." If true, the ,vhole batch of Ministers of course have done the same ; but the rumour is pro- bably premature. [While writing, we have received notice from the City, that, in consequence of this rumour, Consols, which were yesterday 673/4, opened this morning at 68, and that the Market looks still highern It is expected, however, whatever degree of truth there may be in the reported determination of Mi nisters to strangle, by some means or other, their own illegitimate child, called " Bill," that, for the sake of form, the ATTOSNET-GiNERAL (and the Some TOR too, perhaps) shall be permitted an op portunity to give a display. of his enviable powers, before the high tribunal which has for so many weeks been edifyingly occupied in receiving and giving high lessons of morality to the Nation !—We had,' written thus far when our first messenger arrived with the commencement of our Report of the Pro ceedings of this day, from which we find that the ATTORNEY-GENERAL has actually commenced his Reply : TWENTY-SECOND 134% 1 Y OF THE DEFENCE. HOUSE OF LORDS. Their Lordships appeared this morning in most excellent spirits, with the exception of onn or two who seemed to be un errelk A great deal of conversation was carried on In the House, and the Newspapers were in very general use. The LORD CHANCELLOR took his seat at the usual hour, but a very long pause took place after the Clerk Isaddlied ever the him', during which, those below the Bar, were em ployed in conjecturing favourably is, the popular side of the minden. Ate bait past 10 o'clock Counsel were called in, and The Arrosuev-Ganasoe (Sir R. Gtrroas) immediately com menced his Reply. in wady the following- words ; "My lords--The defence of her Majesty being now closed, It once more becomes my duty to address you upon the part of the prosecution. The vast importance of the case, the anxi ous and universal interest which it has excited, would in themselves be sufficient to entitle me to the indulgence of your Lordship; independently of the fact tbet no Advocate ever ileod more in need of that indulgence ; but, my Lords, it if not bums* I am oppressed by the difficulty of the undertaking, lima I now stains more than ordinary consideration, but because year Lordships have been long occupied in this painful investi-1 sation,and my Leain4d Friends have been employed the last three days in addressing your feelings on a subject which has now be muse stale. I cannot,my Lords, but see,under these eircumetancrs, that the great length of the observations made by my Learned Friends, will place me tinder the necessity of making a larger Armand upon your time than I should otherwise request. Before I proceed to take notice of the evidence, I shall advert to a topic which has afforded much opportunity for declamation, but whisk his been wholly unsupported. I mean the topic of the-peculiar &advantages under which her Majesty is said to have lahousod. Al the witnesses on the part of the prosecution were marnimal —all the charges were made known to her Majesty, and youiti lordships permitted the ease to stand still at the doge of the evidence against her, and gave her the time she demanded; an. lobed funds, and all the facilities which could be grantedindei any circumstances. I trust, my Lords, that this precedent will ' not, in future time, be acted upon. Nothing can be more dagger. On than, after the close of a ease, to afford time to answer the :charges, and procure, what it has been admitted upon the part of her Majesty's Counsel, it is most easy to procure —the assistance of perjury—in the cause of the accused. U time and money were likely to be effectual in pining to a cause the benefit of corrupt evidence, her Majesty has no right to complain; for unlimited time and ample means were afforded, and her Majesty has gone into iter defence under cir cumstances of the moat powerful advantage, not only -from this extraordinary ledulgessee, but from the zeal and great abilities of her Counsel. I have not the power to appeal to the passions of your Lordships. or to excite your feelings against the Illustrious Defen dant, neither is such a course that to which my inclination tends. To work upon those feelings has been the employment of my Learned friends, who have enriched their appeals to your Lord ships with quotations and illustrations from the mighty stores of antiquity and the refined sources of modern literature. They have availed themselves of all that thus presented itself, while to me it falls to examine, coolly and dispassionately, the eel. deuce and the facts—au employment in which I know your Lordships will participate with me, without regard to the topics which have been so eloquently, but so irregularly introduced. The charges in the preamble, my Lards, have been so frequently stated, that it is unnecessary for me to do more than generally to call your attention to them. Let me, in the outset, avail my self of that admission which my Learned Friends have been *impelled to make, namely, that the ease on the part of the Bill, Teen believed the evidence in support of it, fully proved all the &urges in the preamble. There is also another admission which I shall not refuse—the admission that the case at its close was sub stantiated; and three weeks were employed in hearing the evi dence for the defence, and several days in -heating the ad dresses of Counsel, to prove her Majesty's innocence and purity ! When your Lordships advance to the'diacussion of this subject, you must never forget that this has been admitted by my Learned Friends opposite, and it will be for your Lordships to consider how far the ease has been refuted or weakened by the defence. In the examination of this case, my Learned Friends have bad re course to a very artful, or, at least, for them, a very judicious mode ; they have selected insulated facts, and kept . out of ,your Lordships view the general features of the case; they, have not viewed it as a whole. but have argued and dwelt on each particular incident, as if the whole case for the Bid rested upon it. Tour Lordships will have to take the while ease, and to decide upon It. Before j advance •to Oak mere' minute exuainatiaa of each Dart of die awe s I advert to ..... . . , . Inmill.••••••••••. 'some leading facts, which not only stand uneentradieted, btu hen been admitted by the damsel for her Melody. The feu is, that Bergami, whose name bib been a coosplemett its these rending% was taken into the service of her Royal Highness as a inetdd, in the mooch of October, 1514; that, in a few menike, without any reatentahle cause, *inept proceeding boot • • licentious conduct, which I will peeve beyond deeposalbe, ifky of a doubt—before that advaissememt, I are, my Lords, Batumi, when holding , that menial altnedon at Mika, bad his daughter, dal 'several mite members of his may, introduced into the house of her Royal Highness. While a courier, he dines sit the table of .her Royal Highness, and shortly after be was pieced .in a higher eituatien, sed loaded with titles and homists, which were, beyond an deabt,,rocared by her Majesty. He lives in the meet fan diar intercoms and the greatest intimacy with the Queen; from this time until she reaches the opposite shores, where be is not dismissed, but retina to a mat which the Queen had purchased and conferred upon him. These, my Lords, are facts that have not bees contradicted, bat admitted by my Learned Friends, and thereon. must remain .er the consideration of your Lordships you are not to eituniee each fact as independent of everrother circumstance; ft 'eked my Learned Friends to do. this, but you must view the case m a whole. I deem it my duty to state this now, and after. wade I shell advert to each feet more particularly. Before I approach the facts of this case, from whence the dither. oss intercourse has not merely been presumed, but proved to exist, I most beg your Lode*tt to coodder the admitted facts respecting Bergami that be entered the service of bee Royal Highness a mental; that he was promoted ; and that titles, honours, and estates were, in a few short mouths, osa ferred.upou hiss. I sow come teethe examination of the est. deuce in detail, which has been brought before your Lordships. Bergami had been hired as a courier at Milan, and proceeded in that capacity to Naples, where the Queen arrived in November. At Naples begins the evidence of those facts, on which the preamble of the Bin has been founded. My Learned Friends, in conducting their case, did not contrast their evidence with that produced fur the prosecution, but with my opening speech ; and, because the evidence did not support that opening speech in every minute particular, they contend, that the case has failed of all proof. Although this has been the conduct our. tray Learned Friends opposite, yet your Lordships must (M- Imiss from your minds that opening speech, which was ()sly for explaining to your Lordshtpi the nature of the evidence to. be brought forward in support of the Bill. My Learned Friends well know that a Counsel is not compelled to prove every tri fling and minute circumstance which may have been noticed in his opening speech. Were this to be the way, I will thew you* Lordships how my Learned Friends have failed to supping their case—nay. have not even ventured to prove it. The charge against me tsl that I have not preyed every minute circumstance in my opening speech; my charge against mg Lamed Friends is, that they promised to produce evidence which they have net dared to bring forward. My Learned Friends have tried the Naples case Witty opening speech, and they have proved it by their own witnesses. The case is, that at Naples her Royal Highness altered the sleeping roomsi (he the second night, Bergami. who had previously slept among the other servants of the Princess's suite, was removed to a Clibiilet, mar the bed-room of her Royal Highness, and with which there was a private cemmunleadon. On the sight of gin Opera, her Royal highness exduded William Austin from has rams, where he had always slept ; and then follows the ed., aeons sF those facts which clearly prove that the adulterous ht tercourse between her Royal Highness and Bergand did take niece. De Mont** evidence is, that previous to thit night Wil. ohm Austin usually slept in her Royal Highness's room. Mr. Impel Craven, who was her Majeny's Chamberlain, and ought to have taken that of monitor, stases, that while in Oen. "Deny, he stated toles Majesty the impropriety of Wm. Austin sleeping any longer in her room; but no alteration then took place; .and he thinks Austin only slept once *et of his rum. Carrington cannot swear that . he slept more than once or twice out of the room ; and Sieard stye; he did not make the alteration, expecting that Austin would sleep, as usual, in the Queen's room. Sicard says, that soon after the arrival at Naples, she told him she thought it improper that Austlb, then about twelve years of a ge, should continue to sleep in her room; and De Mont swears to a similar conversation with the Princess; and thus eoneradiets the evidence of Carrington and Mr. Craven, and supports the testimony of &card. The next fact k that of Bergand being reviewed to a room peer the Prlnems. Stand mye tlds !image meet was made by him, withost-thiknowledge of the Princess. Medd says, be had no coonnualeation with her Royal Highness on the subject, but he had a cemeteries with Ilieronimas. who -could have explained it, but Ise was not The not calling Hieronimus. I say, my Lords, proves-that the arrangement was made by the Princess herself. Sicard, when inked his reasons for making the alteration,' stys, that there being a glaaadeor communicating with the garden. - be though, that some paean should sleep in the cabbie', to protect .her Royal 'Highness. But if that was the, only object, why was not the communication between the room of her Royal Highness .and that of Bergamat cut offs" Why, I say, nay Lords, was not the door locked up, for then it would have added much to the security of her Royal Highness?— But, though Bergami was placed to protect her Royal High ness, there was no precaetion taken to protect her from him self, or from any permit that might go through his room.— Carrington did not know of any such reasons; he never heard of any danger to her Majesty from the garden, but states the only reason for Bergami's being removed was, that he complained the room he first occupied was out high enough. It has been said that there is a contradiction to De Mont as to the time her Royal Highness returned front the Opera. I say, my Lords, there is no contradiction. All that De Mont says, is, that it seemed to her that her Royal Highness came home early—she does not say positively that she did. ' Mr. Keppel Craven, and Sir William Gell, were called to prove that her Royal Highness did not return at an early hour, but in all they say, there is no contradiction. The fact remains as it stood on the testimony of Mademniselk De Mont; it has met with no refutation whisever. Neither, my Lora, does the fact, as to the existenee of a free communication betimes the rooms of her Royal Highness and Bergami, rest pn the evidence of De Meat and Weeds' alone; it has been distinctly confirmed by Sicud. It bas been said, that ano ther part of oar case has not been proved, namely, that on the morning ever Wet Royal Highness'► return from the Opera, she did not appear at so early an hour as usual. But what does De Montatate? She swears that the next morning, after she had dressed the Princess, her Royal Highness went into a small a bbots next Bergamrs room, and reinained there an hour and a half. Sicard was called to contradict this fact, but he did not. My Learned Friends could not have assumed that the evidence en thin point bad failed, had they not overlooked entirely the testimony of De Mont. Now, my Lords, there is another fact which we were told was to be contradicted—the state of the We De Mont swears that the travelling bed appeared u if it had , Mt been eccupied. but that the large bed had those marks upon it which I need not do mere than suggest to the remembrance eg Lordship. What, my Lords, did my friend, Me state in opposition to this, in hie opening of her • Majesty's case He told your Lordships that he would `prove, that the night being tempestuous, the wind had blown open the casement of her Majesty's room, and that she hid f NJ' .
