THE QUEEN. --.0.-- sarISMAN-OFFICS, THIS DAY, Two *Taws. HOWIE OF LORDS, Aye. el shindy before ten o'clock the Lord Chancellor arrived, l ed sok his seat on the Woolsack. p r ayers were thee read by the Bishop of Winchester, so d the soles of the Peers were called over, The Earl of LAUDS aaaaa immediately rose, and ad dressed their Lordships on the point of legal precedent l e n U nilecided on Saturday last. He contended with ge st force sad earnestness agaiost the propriety or re sistive of calling in Counsel, to be heard at the Bar of EsHonse ets this subject. His decided opinion was, one and all of their Lordships must, on reflection, s ome to the conclusion that the adoption of that line of m e et which they were about to take os Saturday would b e mo t prejudicial, as well as being utterly nnprece- I w e d by the usages of the House, and derogatory from 1 i ts dolts.. No doubt it was more prudent that the Hoene * o w c omet° some fixed resolution as to the course to be used is the examination of witnesses ; but to lean it to contiselto argueopon,and suggest what thatcourse should b e , was a thing withont precedent in the House of Peers. 1 To pot it to five members of the House of Commons (for F uel the Counsel at the Bar were) to point ont to the , Hose of Wers what mode they should panne in a judi eisi enqu i r y, was opposed to all Constitntional usage, hi g hly insulting to the dignity of their Lordships. a retrospect•ve view of the proceedings which tam place, his Lordships thought that the whole ,c, ily is which they really were, or *opposed to be hi g hly placed, area, not from the event of a fixed and perfectly c J asisterit rale on the subject, but from a misunderstand. iriT of chat that rule actually was.. The general prac tice in Courts of Law he apprehended was, that after a witness had undergone his examination in chief, he should be insutetliotely croimexantined : and if at a future Feria I either of the parties could substantiate a case to the satisfaction of the Judge for calling up a witness a second time, the Courts were in the habit of ;allowing it, subject however to this condition—that the second exa mination should be made through the medium and receiring the approval of the Court,and indeed the very practice of the House had been followed up to Saturday last. In the important case pending before them, Majocci, after his examination in chief, had been cross-examined by the counsel for her Majesty at con siderable length; even till they acknowledged they had no further questions to ask. Vet after this an application wasmatie by her Majesty's Counsel to the House to have this w i tness called up a second time; anti having convinced the House that there was sufficient cause for the demand, their Lordships had been pleased to grant it. Wu is not perfectly evident front this, that the Counsel on both sides were well aware that the Howie was following in t4'at case the very line of proceeding that have been followed in a Court of Law : Where then the dif ficulty in which the House was supposed to be involved ? For himself he could see no difficulty, further then that which bad arisen from a misunderstanding of the ex isting rule, and imprudent, indiscreet attempt to do date from it. The credulity of witnesses brought to this bar :uiglit be affected in two different ways ; either hr cirenmstances `arising and of their examination in chief, or by witnesses to be afterwards proclaim*. This he thought was a clear line of distinction whi there would be no difficulty in observing. The Counsel of her Majesty should proceed instant)) with all that arose oat if the esaminauen in chief I its( the Boss had resolved that when the ease for the preeoeutios was dosed, they would allow her Majesty ample oppertesity M produciag• whatever evidence. witnesses es her own pan, which she might think proper. He agile repeated that the Howse was in no difficulty but what might arise fun the mironderstanding of their own ride.—(Hear. bar.)--Let them adhere to that rule, there would be no necessity for compromising their own dignity by calling in Counsel to advise them what should be done.—(Hear.) Lord 31axxces contended, that their Lordship were perfectly consistent, and had fallen into no departure from the roles of other Courts. He founded his argu ment on this proposition: in ordinary cases there was an examination and a cross-examination, and after the closing of the cross-examination, any further question was to be put through the medium o( the Judge. This he proposed should fie done in the present case. Any extraordinary question should be put through the Noble Lord on the - Woolsack, and their 'Lordships would then be perfectly consistent with the roles of other Courts. He would here slightly advert to the motion of the No ble and Learned Lord (Erskine), which he had made 1 on a former °erasion for a list of the witnesses. It was known that the existence of such a List was erased em elusively to the cases of High Treason, and. he bellowed there was no Judge upon the Beech that had any dealt about it. It hail been said that their Lordships might, to be governed by the peculiar gifelleiliaille 4 Mg case. This would be a bad primal& ad woibl la productive of intolerable mischief. Ile dlosigbe tbo Noble and Learned Lord was not seniler! whoa be said. their Lordships ou ght _ to guide thiamine by the roles of other Courts. How would he tonmeile this? What was it possible her Majesty's Ceased Mil wish beyond an opportunity to examine to esiestlihng which was not previously within their knowledge ? The Noble Lord concluded by moving, "that the Noble and Learned Lord on the Woolsack *WM state to the Bar that they were at liberty to otandoe." Lord Eas ma. after referring to the irreralarity of the interruption which bad been oared to Counsel on Satur day, conceived that the Home had brought Wolf into its present dilemma by the rejection of his former mo tion. If the House should refuse to ;Mears the cross. examination, the whole of the evidence Is itepretent shape would be berme the public for the space of two mouths, and it mold sot but have the most powerful et feet on she public mind. His Noble Friend (Lord Lauderdale) had said be wished these proceedings to be regulated like them of a Court of Law. HolLord IL) wished so - too, bat could be to a come which ap peared to him as opposite to a tt r a i t e of a Court of Justice as light was from diatoms? Hi cooceind that bee !k- J ,ti's Counsel had a redoebted right to examine as fir as dui pleased estistsp WWII they pleased. The emotion then would be, what was tots dose afterwards. He would sot at present adroit° that. "Sufficient for the day was the evil thereof" The Noble Lord (Manners) had talked of difficulties.

To address himself to the subject immediately before the House, he would observe that, be was one of th ose w h o could not observe the very great great disadvantage which would a tt e nd th e Q ue e n y a continuance of the cross-examination. He was ready to admit that a partial disadvantage would be occasioned by it, but he contended that that disadvae tare was more than counterbalanced by the delay to 1 which the Queen would be entitled on the closing of the Attorney General's case. This Was an advantage which never attended ordinary cams and was more, much more than an equivalent for the possible disad vantage. The, Queen by this delay wonhl be ea• abled to make the most scrupulous inquiry into the character of the witnesses.; and if upon that inquiry she could shake their characters, it would be competent for her to do so. She could likewise be en abled by this delay to controvert the facts deposed to by these witnesses, If the facts could be controverted; and he would repeat, that in every point of view, the Queen's case would gain by the course now proposed. It was net, however, to be understood, that by that course, her Majesty's Co unsel were to be positively excluded from calling back any of the witnesses. If they should state any special circumstances which should arise hereafter, and consequently 'which were not at present within their knowledge, the House most assuredly would give them the advantage which should be asked by the Learned Counsel. The House, in looking at the circumstances which might be stated by those gentlemen, would be guided by that liberality which ever governed its con duct. (Hear). Nay, he would go further, he would advocate the adoption of a much greater latitude in this, than that which attended ordinary cases. (Hear, hear.) But this ought to be obtained upon special grounds to be laid before the House, and should not be treated as a tostter of course. The difficulty, as it appeared to him, was this. In ordinary cases there was an exa mination in chief, a cross-examination, and a re examination. If the Counsel for the accused sought . to put any question after the case was closed, it must be put through the evidence and with the approbation of the Judge. By analogy, then, if her Slajesty's Counsel should seek to put any question after the closing of the case, the should apply to the House uoder the spe cial circumstances which might induce them to de sire to put the question. But the course pointed out by the Noble Lord (Erskine) was totally impracticable. The cross-examination of Saturday ought to have gone on, or it ought not. If it ought not to have gone on, then Mr. Brougham had no right to go as far as Redid, f or it would be in their Lordships recollection that the greater part of his examination went to impeach the credit of the witness. She was asked as to what rnonev she had received, by whom she had been examined, when and where, and a variety of other questions, not confined to asking who the witness was, but substan tially to affect her credit. If their Lordships had fallen into any error, no people were more ready to retrace their steps than their Lordships; but the question now herein the House was not as to the bringing up or the whams again but whether the Cannel should be allowed*, patch tee eroerezautirtatioe altogether. Now it would be to see in what situation their Lordships would be I if the suggestion of the noble Lord (Erskine) were mkt I ed. if the cross-examination were pat off, it w conceived, establish a precedent that their Lo o gliflps i themselves could not examine. It was evident that most of the material circumstances bad arisen out of the en, ! initiation of their Lordships. The reason was obvious. The CRUISER] on each side, examined to the points only, which they intended and wished to establish; but the 1 Peers examined as Judges and endeavoured to bring the ease to a fair and proper issue. Upon the Fro tad there fore, that a postponement of the cross-examination would be unprecedented and mischievous in establishing a pre ' cedent, his Lordship concluded by expressing his deter mination not to consent to the delay. ILord ERSKINE explained, The Marquis of LANIDOWItit observed, that being one of those who wished to call on Counsel to state what they had to urge at the bar, he was desirous of explaining the impression of his mind on that 'abject. Counsel were called on the opinion stated by many Noble Lords, that it was necessary to lay down a rale of proceeding, and that it would be satisfactory to the House to hear Counsel, who might communicate instruction, many Noble Lords, being like himself, unlearned upon the strict rules of law. He kit, and should feel, throughout thp whole of this, extraordinary proceediug, this the House ought to ap peal to Counsel for their views of the law. Tote Noble Marquis adverted to the understanding aLlnilial to by the Karl of Liverpool. He was ready to admit that the subject of an adjourned crose-exansination was not in contemplation when the subject was men tioned, but that question was open. He could not see how it was in the power of the House to give Counsel for the Queen any boon, which could be an equivalent fur prompt cross-exassioatioa, after the examination in chief, when the evidence for the bill made an Impres sion on the House and the Public. By the course the, House had pursued, the Queen's Counsel were deprived of that advantage. A doubt pressed strongly upon his mind with respect to the propriety of rewind'sg all that passed on Saturday. How /mold the House get rid of the didiettity under which they were placed. In the instance which occurred the other day, namely, the examination of the witness from Trieste, the Queen's Counsel had Do opportuity of knowing what and whcr he was. Whether he had been living at the, ion at Trieste, or whether he had sot. In that cue, no cruss•examinatioti could fairly take place without farther information was obtained. If so, was it open to the Attorney-General to sum up to the Hesse ? C.rtainly not. It then became neeessarf for the House to consider, whether they wore not in sash a sitnadia with respect to the witnesses to be called to t►e bar, that Coined could lot be called ea to crew' examine. Weald they say they could Wm* Ceased the opportunity of levity ? la his tiniest shot could not.

The decenniums established a fatal pre cedent wliteh might hereafter give counsel in any case the means of delayinr the proceedings ter twisty-hat hours. He thought to delay the eross-examinatios upon a case made out after ail the evidence had been heard in support of the Bill, was as mash as use Queen's Cannel could require. It was more than an eqnivalent for any ,inconvenience arising from the want of a list of witnesses. A short delay in the Courts below, was always considered the readiest way to get up a sham defence. If the House allowed the cross-examination to be delayed ten weeks, the Atter• ney-lieoeral could not close his case. The Lord Coartcatton.--" 1 feel it to be my dray on this,occaslen, to remove as far as I can any 'mbar moment in the proceedings. It is not my iatention to trouble your Lordships on the motion for a list of witnesses upon which you came to a determination. It ie enough for me to say, that having considered and re-considered this question, I gave Hie vote It was my Wooden duty to give. 1 am convinced a list of witnesses would not hays removed one-fortieth part of the di& eulties4his case." Parliament did not always govern them strictly by the Mee of the Courts below, be mast say the more strictly they were governed by those rules in the present case, the safer they would go. The Noble and Learned Lord was of opinion it would have been better, had the House themselves put question to the first witness, Majorci, when be was allowed to Wean el up by die Queen's Counsel. The House would end. ' that when Paturso was examined, Counsel stated that not being aware the witness was to be examined, be begged to be allowed to put a question at a future tints. He distinguished the ground on which he made the ap plication, namely, in case he received material informa tion. He (the Lord Chancellor) stated, that the House would judge of the questions to be put when the appli cation was made. So the case stood in a correct point of view, and upon another slay, when Majocri was al lowed to be examined, questions were pat by the House. That was es. regular, but on Saturday, that Counsel should postpone his cross-exituination, and the House came to the question whether they should do what never was done before. Ile asked what situation would the House be in, if after examination in chief, they postponed the cross-exainins lion. It was important that Counsel should not 'meditate for days and weeks as to what he should say to a witeees. On the other hand is was also important. Counsel *AI have the fair opportunity of cross-examination him. diately after examination in chief. It was clear am Lords could not without examination, cross-examination, and re-examination, call on the Attorney-General to sum up. He did not mean to say, there were not difficulties in this case, but there was no reason why they should not grapple with those difficulties. They could not remove the land-marks of justice, be cause they could not go comfortably to t he question, but they ought to proceed in a fair and regular course to remove the inconvenience. If he gave his vete it would be for allotving Counsel' to follow the .ancient mode of proceeding. Counsel ought to be called to cross-examination according to the student forms of law, but if a special ease was made out for the consideration of the House, it would dew's.* due attention. It would be betterl to, acquit 10,000 persons thou break in upon any rule of law. Onsv.said, he ha 4 not received a satisfactory volutioo of any cleat objeatims to the proposition of his Noble Friend. This was not a subject on which the House should shut its eyes. They ought to grap ple with the diScolty. In meeting to pass the Bill before them, they should take into consideration the ditficulties which made it impossible to proceed with- out violating the forms of proceeding. The difficulties which existed must be removed, or I the House would be led to injustice. The Noble Earl called on the House to consider whether it was not advisable to abstain from any further proceeding . on the bill, rather than depart from the established principles of law. Before they advanced, it was expedient to deter mine whether they were travelling on the right road.— If be understood what bad passed, it was their Lord ships determination to enable the Queen's Counsel to cross-examine, in such way, as if they bad known the charge; and that such should be granted, as some com pensation for the vague and indefinite character of the charge. If, however, that privilege was to be with. drawn from the Queen's Counsel, they ought tab, beard at site liar, as to the propriety of withdrawing such op portunity. He had proposed, that a specification of the charges should be given to the Counsel for her ll*wy, for, if ever one rase were more important than aaetber= if ever there were a case where it ought to be granted— ' thia was that case. So he bad argued, but the House I thoteght otherwise; and he was not for setting up hie private judrusent against the decision of their Lordships. Pat, it was said. there was no precedent for the grant lag of a list of witnesses and a specification of the , charges ; he thought far otherwise—all their journals paved the contrary. Had the Queen been Pie. sadad against for High Treason , or for Divonie, Ai o would, however. have had these advastagos t awl was it too much.-3ras it contrary to Justice to her ht ',situation equivalent in itilvantage to what tnitd4 hoe but, if pr osecuted for High Treason, or ._ (far, hear As to precedent , the ease of the Ir Norfolk bail been alluded to.

But be dlti not think plat the Conn eel ought to be called on to dictate to the High Court of Parliament what coutse the Howie should adopt; they might be asked whether they had any sug puma to make regarding the interest-of their client. He should be sorry to decide ea any new course, without first hearing all that Counsel could urge ou the subject. Lord Livtaroot. admitted that it bad been agreed to afford in equivalent advantage, for the advantage lost by the mode of proceeding; and that eqnivaterit he con wilwred to be an adjournment of the Bill, after the whole of she accusation Lail been preferred. But an adjourned Min-examination Lad never been considered; he cer tainly never felt that there had been any understanding to slimier any adjourned Cross-examination.—(Hear.) Earl Uttar ex pl until—He thou h : that there was sr me such understanding most clearly conic 'to; and tie instanced what took place during the cross-examination of Theodore diajttcci, when some interruption took place, the Counsel was required to elect whether the cross-examination should be pursued by them at that or a subsequent period. Tlac Counsel elected to' go on then. The LORD Cn tIVCILLOR wished to know whether it was understood that he should inform Counsel that the eross•examinatioi were now to be pursued as far as knowledge would permit, reserving the right of recalling should sew facts arise. He was also to enquire whether Counsel had any reasons to urge against such rule. Much desultory conversation took place between the Chancellor, Lords. Lauderdale, Urenville, &ix. as to the words of the role ; when liCord ORRT said, he understood the question now was, • whether the reserved right of cross-examining at a future period, should new facts arise, should be token Way. Lord Livsaroot thought a case most be put to Coun sel. Ile understood crow-tzaminatiorts were to be put• sued as far as possible; then to permit the recalling of witnesses should new facts corns to the knowledge of the Queen's Counsel. Lord 011111 r said, this would justify the recalling of . every witness, all being unknown to them.
