LORD =LP/LLB', TRW. • The Conn met as ufoal nn Friday morning, and the Lord Chancellor havinr; takerilis feat at the table, the trial of Lord Melville was returned. Mr. Mark Sprott' was again examined, and proved as entertaining as on the preceding day, from the qiiaintnefs of his re plies.—The Right Hon. George "fierney, and Chas Bragge Bathurli, Efq. formerly Treafurers of the Navy, Mr. John Williams, Secretary to the Commit linnets of Naval Enquiry, Mr. John Men:, an Officer of the Board of Controul, Mr. George Fennel, of the Na:y Pay Office, Mr. Kennedy, Mr. George Sehnf• field, cif the Navy Pay Office, and Mr. WiliOn, of the fame, were alfo examined. Mr. Bathurft and Mr. Tierney both prntefted against leaving their feats' among the Commons to be examined in the Wit. mire,' Box. The latter, addreffed their Lord(hipa upon his entering the Witneifee Box, and complained of the refufal to examine him in the feat he had Pre vioufly occupied—oblerring that it was from nn per. fonal feeling that he declined coming to be examined like an ordinary witnefs, but from an imprellion that it was the privilege of a Member of the Houfe of Commons to be heard in his place.—He thould be forty that any privilege of that nature fhonld be vio lated in his perfon, and he therefore took that oppor tunity of protelliog again', the practice. The Court exhibited, at ulna!, a fplendid an. diem, and, as ulna', a decided riajority in favour of this Ladies. As Lord Melville retired, he was again addreEd by a number of Ladies, and appeared in good fpirrs. The attendance ors Saturday exceeded every one we have before witneffed; but it was contiJerably pail eleven o'clock before the proceffion entered. The Prince of Wal-s, and the four Royal Duke , „ as ufaal, doled the march of the Peers, and faluted the Throne. It was fuppnfed that the whole of the evidence fir the profecution had been finill:wd on the preceding day; this, however, turned out to have been a mil take; for Mr. Whitbread it,form.:4l their Lordtbins he had further evidence to offer. He then called wit neffes, and examined them relpeBing alledged ba lances in the hand: of Lord Melville, as Treaturer of the Navy, IR 1784, and the years immediately fib fegitent. He alto examined wirndles to prove the Noble Defendant's Intrces of emnlarnenr as Lord Advocate, Keeper of the Signet, &c. in Scotland, and the Managers then clo'ed their evidence. Sir Samuel (homily began to Cum up the whole of the evidence at half pail twelve, and concluded a little before four o'clock, having fpnke about three hours and twenty minutes. The Court adjourned till Tirefday morning, when Mr. Plumer is to enter upon the defence. Lord Melville continued attentively fixed nn the Orator doling the whole of his addrcfs.
