• • N t r .;I1E:t 10,489. TRIAL OF THE ittrEE.V. HOUSE OF LORDS, OCTOBER 3. DEFENCE-THIRD DAY 124 CONTINUATION. Mr. 'Mamas's, in continu stion frort the • and Editian of the 'STAR of yeetertkke :—lt meat operate most powerfully in favour 'of her Majesty (said the Learned Counsel), that these charges 'against her had .1:lat for three years? It was for the promoters to explain this, nut for him. He then proceeded to chew the Zits fawner between the evidence of Miss De Mont as tiven at One time and at pother. He particularly pressed upon the attention of the ilouse, the manner in which she. had been led to exaggerate .each time, until at last she gave a perfect answer. At one time she said, that the bed was a little de. ranged. When pressed further, she said it •appeared to have been occupied by two persons; and when pressed stiil further, she deerred she had not communicated before that there were stains upon the linen. Again, she in her first examination said ' nothing about the locking of the bed-room door when she..saw Bergasni naked ; but upun being reminded of her duty, she asserted, that the door had been locked .when be passed in. Now this was an example of the amendment of evidence which could meetwith no contradiction. Now, with respect to the case that r.-as to meet that of the prosecutors. It might be sup7nsed that the Queen was not prepared as those against her were. la ad. dition to the fact that all tli:tieulties had been thrown in Ir.lf way,' it would be considered that her evidence sea.; only in a atate cf beiug collected. He believed that a longer period would have been granted; but a longer delay could not he taken.— The (lace!: had. patience and fortitude. She lied given full proof of the possession of both; .but she had not patience or.for titude to let it slumber in the unfortunate equailniam with two speeches and a press of evidence in one scale, and not even a whisper or a bse sat in the other. There was tit a bane, but no an tidote. &regular a de: ail could not, under such circumstances, be exaeeted, as that which opportunity, and time, and influence, 'had contributed to ref:der it no matter of difficulty fur the other party to make. lite time was now arrived when it became his duty, by allusion to the particular branches of r he case,to chew the AarenkAls of Use adveraariesa and to state what he hoped to be able to prove. He then said, he should advert to what bad -taken place on board the polacre—a subject upon which his Learned Frieud had accidents ly omitted to speak, hut which he, and the rest of her Majesty's Counsel, thought of the first importance. Majocchi says that, the bath 'was made in the cabinet, but De Mont says that she only knew of its being made in the dining room. ho far, therefore, as De blont's testimony is nut con• finna,ory of Majoccht's, it is virtually a contradiction of it. But tfi. case uid not rest there. It would be proved that this bath was „tuna% In* a tub, because her Majesty had nothing better oa board ; and that the cabinet alluded to was so smala that wads the bed and other furniture in it, there could not have been room for the tub. The thing was physically huausadsle t the taws et Nature were against the evidence of .7 , lajocctii. It Was lilrae all the rest of the charges, a false, am. =Wait, nunicious imputation against the Queen. Again Pa te:•-zo, the Mate, sales, that when .Bergarai had changed his rpi g-cabin, it was possible for a person sleeping in I3ergami's bed to see the person sleeping in the Queen's bed. To this they would give a peremptory contradiction, anal spew that the situa- 1 lion of the beds rendered such a thing impossible.- It Was said, moreover, that the sleeping cabin of Bergami had been changed in ceder to afford h►m an easier access to the apartment-of- her :11 , jesty. But math how a plain tale would .put the slander down. At *Tunis a :surgeon was taken on board, and from want of room Li' the vessel, and solely for his accommodation, the . change in question took place, without the least interference: on the part : of ber. Majesty. It was done, in fact by her Majesty's attendants without any concert with her. • With regard to sleeping under the tent oil deck, it would be proved that at half a yard from it was stationed the steersman, who was constantly on the spot. Why was not this man called upon? If Majocchi timid, when below, hear, as he said, a noise of a particular description in the teat above, why was Lot the staersman called, who was within half a yard of the tent, and must have heard it infinitely better? It would besides be proved that the whole Crew of the vessel were in the habit, at all hours, by day and by night, of passing close to the tent, and that an Weer who had the charge of the vessel, and who was generally on deck at night, used often to communicate with her Majesty dlring.the night, as to the state of the Weather and the progress of the vessel von which occasions he was always at liberty to Fut aside any part of the canvass of the tent he chose, in order to speak to her Majesty. The Queen did not sleep in bed under the tent in the sense usually understood; her Majesty merely rei,esed under an awning with her clothes on. It would, he said; further -be shewn, that the communication by die hatchway between the deck and the dinint-room below was' continually open, and also that there wire several nights during ti.e voyage when Bergazni did hot repose 4t all under the tent. (fi h statement was received with a marked sensation by their ta , rdships)—Yes, that there were several nights during.the voyage un which Bergami did not repose at all under the tent, fur it was necessary to observe, that after certain events which had happened in Italy, sod - which had caused an appre hension* in her Mejesty', jesind for her personal safety, she had rioter afterwards takes repose 'without some person to guard and protect h: r. Whyi glen, were not some others of the crew, and above why werc•not the steersman,' and the elibcer who Lai the chaste of the vessel, called as witnesses, who must have F.:own strinuch better than Mai occhl what did actually take place? 'l'he Learned Counsel next - requested the attention of their 1. nalships to the eventsat Naples. On the eventful night when ties adulterous intercourse was said to have commenced—tile htil2l night—it would be proved that the Queen did .not, as sworn by De Mont, return early, but remained till the spec -- wet over, about c,t delock in the morning; that young .iustin had been iliztni::sed to sleep in a separate apartment weeks before that time ; and that the masquerade dress, in which her Majesty aepea: as the Genius of History, so far i:nm being indecent, was the character required, chaste, st-her, and demure. The course of evidence now brought the Learned Gentleman to Carlsruhe. liarbara Kresse had Lid the tune of the incident she swore to at between eight and nine o'clock in the evening; but it would be proved, that it no tine during the Qteen's stay at Carlsruhe had her Majesty aid au opportunity of being toge th er at that period of any night. Learned Gentleman said he would net oily prove the dress of Bessami to be such as he had stated by two witnesses, h::: he would adduce evidence respecting Kress:4 which would prove her not oily unfit to be credited to deprjpe a 'queen of b:r rights, but even to strip the wing of a sparrow of a single feather. He would take the circumstance respecting Berg:mil going to Inspruck for a passport, and he would prove that the Q leen did go to bed, but in all the clothes she had on during the day, and that on account of the little German Inn being blocked with snow. He would prove by a witness who accompa. lied lierganai, that on their return, they were both busily ens. ployed preparing for the journey, and that the witness was =ore /lan once in the room of the queen to receive orders. He ls'enid prove th is by four witnesses, all of whom could speak to the fact. He would now take the foul assertion of Sacchi as to .what passed during the journey, where lie said, he ban two or "Free Units looked into the carnage, as if to make " assurance -loubly sure" as to the indecencies he had detailed. Now be would prove, that the Queen on that very oecasion travelled in a landau, that there were no curtains to be drawn balongingto :_:—be would further prove (hut Sacchi was not the courier db that journey, but that another person, wile would be besought inward, was th e couri er; an d this would be corroborated by a region who was in the carriage at that very time, and would also megativa those ind:cencies which he would not name. He next 'would notice Do Mont's assertion as to the bed-room being than- Zed at the Villa d'F.ne, changed of course as all was wiehed to be proved, for ibe pur z iOse of furthering the adulterous intercouue. lie would prove that the bed-room used by the Queen smoked so al: , 711 in winter as to be insulierable, and that it became ne sts:4.r), to provide another, which was hound at the wry utmost (t,•, of the slain , ' apartments the Queen usually occupied in ccubequisc t: of whi ch the queen was obliged, in goin,; from her bed-room to her sitting-room, to go the whole tour of the AL/11%4:. To obviate this, a door (not a pew Apar, but au end 0 60 ..) 1 ) was opened, which f . .e 4 y.,refi t,bp ;notettunic4,tion ten • • • times nearer. 'With respect to the bathing In the Breaaa e rvbich he scarcely thought it -necessary to notice, the Brazela was a'mosenteln stream, drf in , another and rapid in. winter, and it would be roved that in winter it would Was agreeable for bathing as in the tareenrat Loudon Wag= In summer like attempting t o b a th e= the top of it. H. only 'notice one case mere, and it wait one which his Leotard Friends had challenged hjm to rebut; it was the tunieliluvian sfory of Itaggaloni: He trould prove that, tittetted ameba man Was when he said he saw the Queen and Be:gaol - amusing them selves so indecently with the sprees of our first parents, be could no more see them, than WI 'Mr. could, from the place 4liere he then stood, eon into the interior of , &. Paul's. He. would prove that ibis fellow Baggaxoni, like his partners in crime, was guilty of perjury. The Learned Counsel then ani madverted in strong terms on the whole evident!, -which, he contended, wis tomPletele'shaken,lnd totally nnworthrof the slightest credit 'The Journal kept •by the scheming chamber maid, during the trartie of the Queen, had furnished the data on which the superstructure of falshood and perjury bed been erected. When he was attending for the tht two - days to his Hooourablc Friend, and hearcifhith tear to pieties the case against which be was contending (it was true that be also was an Advocate, and a zealous one, he,shaeked Goo), but on hearing him shake and demolish the evidence, at he felt in his conscience he had done, it rend:Wed him of the following passage frosts Cicero : " 0 magna tis vaitetis, qua centre hominhas *genie, ealtPlita 'OA siertians,eentragne fields omniusi insidias,faiVe pet' w 'wet When he se* the direction which the case watnow taking— when he felt the confident expevtation that so niich could be proved, of which he, had now only Lid the outline r he was then disposed to fly from, the splendid declaniation of Cicero to the statement of the Attorney-General, and'to tar with him, that we were hound to *tribute all to . the Bounty of Paeviesarce, who, in the ebsence of human means, surrounded the ienocent with a shield, and interposed with, a ready help to defend the desolate and oPprsased ! He (Mr. Williams) would call the attention of their Lordships •to two witnesses which he would thew from the quiver of his opponents.. He 'would call Captains Pechell and Briggs, two Gentlemen, whom their Lordships must believe. Captain Nebel!, with some slight grounds of offence between the Queen end him, spoke nothing against her. Captain liriggs spoke decidedly in favour of her. And was it to be believed, if this paiaen of the Queen was such as had been described, a passion which sought its. gratification in the market-place and on ship-board, that the Queen shOultrhave passed three weeks on baud •tbe thip . of the gallant Captain without betraying it? HI begged their Lihstshipeeetreasadder the present state of the country, in which disaffeetiost stalked abroad unmasked, and not to cut alighted fire-brand of anti-mo narchical tendency into a magazine ready to explode! The Learned Gentleman concluded brexpressinga hope that these disgraceful proceedings would wise pushed tootheir . utmost went on such tainted, perjured evidsdce, as had been adduced at their bar; but 'that the judgment of their Lordships Would be such as to re move animosities, and,. peradventure, by. good _fortune, still maintain the peace of the country. This (said the Learned Gentleman) is the second wish of my - heart ; the first is. that at all hazards, and regarcilea of all other consequences; the cause of substantial justice may triumph." • • Earl ORE r rose to call the attention of their Lordships to two statements that had been made by the Counsel for her Ma jesty; of great importance. He alluded to the statements as td the difficulties experienced by the Queen's Counsel' in getting 'the evidence of the Chamberlain of the Grand Duke of Baden, and of: General Pince A Noble Lord on the opposite bench had said, that whatever influence the Goverment of this coun try had used with foreign Pesters to get evideece for the accu -1413i011, should be exercised to procure evidence for the 'Queen. He would now allude to the examination of Berbera Kresge.— When she was asked who told her .be should - receive compen sation? she replied, " O.ir hilsikeer, M. Berstedt : he said, if I woull not go, I should be foreed." She was then asked, 0 Is he not Mirister of Baden?" She answered,," Ido not know whether he is Minister for Foreign Affairs or not." Now, what was the case? the Council for her Majesty had stated that the Chamberlain of the Grand Duke •of Baden was a most important evidence ebe was appointed to attend on the Queen during the whole of her residence at Baden ; and there fore could contradict the evidence of Kresse. The Learped Counsel had stated that three distinct applicatiois had been made to the Chamberlain; 'who had - once agreed to tame s and to the Grand Duke of 'Baden himself; but they mild opt get leave for the Chamberlain to come over. If the Govern ment had used their induence to procure evirkeee for the prosecution, the same influence should certainly be used for the defence ; if It was not so usedelt* was a foul interference with the coorse of public *dee, and such as to justify their Lortlehips in suspending ell• further proceedings- until inquiry Was instituted on the subject: His Lordship was sure the .1-louse would feel, with him, that the circumstances stated by her Ma jesty's Counsel amounted to such i direct obstrtection to the administration of public justice as required to.be fullyexplained. He moved, therefore, that her. Majesty's Counsel should be called upon to state whether they are prepared with proof of their *anima? and if they are, that the House should proceed to hear fib Lord 7 LIVBRPOOL concurred entirely with the Noble Rae opposite, that ft would be a mockery of justice, if the same power which was exerted to produce witnesses en otre side was not as effectually exerted to produce witnesses on the other. Had an application been made to his'filljesty's Government, for Its assistance to compel the attendance of the Chamberhda-of the Grand Duke•of Baden, not one moment would have been lost ht giving it ; but the fact was, thit no such application had her been made. If her *Majesty's Counsel Would say now that his attend ance was material to their case, Or whether it was material or not, that they wished the influence of Government to be exerted to procure his presence, not two hours should elapse ishfore a special Alessengerftuld be sent over for the purpose. As to Gen. Piney his Lordship had good reason, for believing thht the cause given by the General for not coming over was not the true one, and besides, the order which the Austrian Government had been pleasecito makp With respect to appearing here, in the Austrian military dress was not pecyllar to the witnesses for her Majesty, but had been enjoined as to the witnesses on both sides. The Duke of WELLINGTON observed, iniustification of the rule adopted by the Austrian Court, that in cases of officers having to appear before Court's Martial, it was always the practice that they should attend in plain clothes. The LORD CHANCELLOR, addreising bar Majesty's Coun sel, laid, that be bad it no* in command 'from the House, to enquire, whether they were prepared to prove the facts they bad stated, respecting the obstruction to the attendance of the Chamberlain of the Grand Duke of Baden, and General, Pin° ? Mr. Dammam said, that with respect to' the case 'of the Chamberlain Of Baden they were prepared ;• bat as to Ge ' neral Pino all that they had relating to his detention, consisted of corresp ondence. Earl GREY observed, that since it appeared that no applica tion had been made to his Majesty's Ministers for - their assist ance in compelling the attendance of the Chamberlain of the Grand Dulta of Baden, it might be proper to ask her Majesty's Counsel whether they still considered the production of this witness material to their case The LORD CHA NCELLOR put a question to this effect. Mr. Baoconasa answered that most unenestionahly they did, and added, in explanation of their not having made application to iris Majesty's Ministers fur their assistance to compel the at tendance of the Chamberlain, that it vas not above a day or two since they" knew of 'the jnourrnountable obstacle interposed by the Government of Baden. - LAO LI VEA POOL saw no necessity for going into an eo illiniltlo23 all to the iitcr of the obstruction having taken lilac*, since It was admitted that the King's Government had no hand in The LORD CHANCELLOR thought very diAfeuently. The proposition of her Majcstys Counsel was p that they ought not to be called on to . produce any witnesses at all on her pat!, on account cf the obstructions thrown in l r way, in pro:pring their attendance ; and in support of It theyiliduced this instance of oie obstruction at 13aden.
