Hit ittensoryin every thing that was tit make against the Queen, was astonishingly retentive; but, when he was asked any ques tion for which he was not so well prepared, he answered by a nose oaf ricoodo; although that very answer was often in direct contra diction to his former statement. The Learned Gentleman am , untied to point out various iastances of such contradictions, all of ' which were evidence of direct perjury on the part of the witness. Ile alluded to that part of we crees.examination when Ma. jocci in reply, to a question upon the subject of his applicatiou to be restored to his situation, said " It was a joke." and com mented upon the conduct of this witness, upon being told that he could nut 1140/C joked with Hieronimus several amiss. The reply to that was Non tad ricordo.—Now ;het was gross perjury, and was certainly equalled by his conduct in saying, that " he would rather eat grass than go back to the service in wnicj he had been engaged." Now as to those witnesses who had bees so well paid for their service's the House were aware that a great deal was to be drawn froth the demeanour of wampum When witnmsos were determined to veva to what was false, they were ex tremely apt to be impertinent and flippant. When the mate of the vessel, shah was represented mute scene of some disgrace. ful familisrities, was examined, he answered. that To be sure they were, they were not in his pocket !" And other answers of the sainecharaeter. marked the evidence of this cralitable per son. Now a batter paid winless was never seen than this Mate. for he was paid at the rate of two thousand pounds a year. The aunt was called a compensation for his losses ; but what would be said when It was known, that at Messina, where this witness had made those great sacrificers, there was no land proprietor, no mereanule dealer who would not look upon himself as a person of unequalled influence it he was in possession of half the sum Ills mune would resound throu,;ll the world, and persons from the country would be rejoiced to get letters of recuounworlation to him. The Captain was paid still higher—at the rate of two thousand four hundred woods. All his expenses. too, were paid, _and Ins expectations were nut limitsal to that sum, for he looked to the bounty of a Hord Husband, whom interests lie was to serve. This man, too, had adrnowleslged, that lie had a quarrel with part of the- est.blistundit of the Queen ; end evidence was built upoe revenge. Now it was unouestion able that a Prinotm of Waits sitting on a gun Oliva maaaial see ant, whose arms were rotted her neck, was an extraordinary occur rence, likely to make e lasting impres. , lo l end yet the Captain and the Mate materially.

The two witnesses apnea of the same ume—for the Captain said the Mate saw Clem k.ssing as well as he. Tae House then knew what credit to give to this Captain, whose delicate feelings of honour was suet, that he sent tae Mate to another part of the ship. in miles that he might not witness a scene of impurity. It was strange that the Mate had not received the order to retire from the guilty pair ! No, no. they were too intent upon pleasing each other, and derived en additional pleasure from publicity. Their Lordships must be convinced that this was the grossest of false hoods. It was the Mint of a mind desperately bent upon obtain ing an ample reward for its ingenuity in fabricating : laying a foundation for a claim upon Royalty, which, under such ay. cum stances. could never be disappointed. Those witnesses were well drilled too—they were models of the art of drillinp.crack men. They were paid and drilled to perfection ; but happily there were limits to that art, or God help the innocent 1 Tile Learned Counsel next directed the attention of their Lordships- to the evidence of Mademoiselle De Mont. Taking her character from herself, she was the 'most perfect specimen, most complete model of a waitinganaid that the world had per haps ever seen. lie had heard her praised for great ingeauous nem, in confessing that some things she had said were true, and others nut; that sometimes she really meant what she said. and others only spoke in doable elltendres • and, doubtless, if it was any merit in a winless to coerces that nobody could tell vberi to believe her, she was the most ingenious liar he had eve known.—The Learned Counsel proceeded to tame, with great ability, the • contradictions in Dumont's evidence, which welt such, he contendgb as rendered the whole of her evidence lat terly unworth of — aedit.
