OCTOBER 7. 1920. ifr have this morning received Paris pal ars of the 0 instant. On the morning of the 2d, the Duke ,t e A,Norwtr, Madame, and the Princes and NOW'S of Ole Blood, proceeded in state to the m etr opolitan t Mach to assist at a fir' i), urn on occa . of the birth of the Puke of Bo tDE Srx. At noon t h e ,. partook of the festivities antl tither entertain ments that had been prepared in the Cit•onire-E!oce, t ad is the eiening there was a general illumination. The Bowe of Lords this forenoon has been occupied e y e ge with the examination of the valet of the lion. Kum INA, EN. One of the objects of this examin ation has been to shew the meretricious character of the cele u riti 4 w itness, Demoxv ; bis interviews with her while imbed up, by her, in her bed-chamber, Ste. Anotheraimwasto have exposed the mendacious cha racter of bee friend Maaocct. A discussion of some l engt h an d importance arose as to a conversation, which the valet had held with Majocci, respecting the outbid of Baron t)mpteda. This kind of exanttna tim was objected to on the ground that blajoeci had cot given evidence on the subject of the Baron. Mr. Brougham contended that hlajocci had been questioned as to a fact which he pretended he did not re member ; and that this Non nil rieurdo was al ledgetl,in order to conceal the truth. It was not pro bable or pogsible that this forgetfulness could bare actually taken place, fur Mr. Itant•ow.sM could prose that bl tam r t was not only present when the fart oc curred, hit even held a conversation subsequently re. 'petting it. ITOthit OF LORDII.—(Tres Moans's.) Prayers were read and the Peers were called over as usnal. The defaulters were Lord Selsey, Viscount Arson, and the Earl of Ousford. On the motion of the Marquis of LANSDOWNE, the gentlemen who had ailed as interpreters were called to the Bar and sworn. They gave in a translation of the correspondence which had passed between Marietti and his son. The translation was ordered to lie on the table. The Loan Cisaxceihori then moved that Connse should be called in. Shortly afterwards Mr. Attorney and Mr. Solicitor-lieneral. Dr. Adams, and Mr. Parke, the Counsel against her Majesty ; and Mr. Brougham, Mr. Denman, Dr. Lushington, Mr. Willisiens, and Mr. Tindal, her Majesty's Counsel, appeared at the Bar. Mr. BROVONAM then moored that William Carrington 51 Id be called in, as &witness, on the part of her Ma jesty, when The Earl of Ltvannoousase and suggested that Lady Charlotte Lindsay sliouid ha called in, for the purpose is! being examined as to the letter written to her by her brother recomnsertiling hey to leave her Majesty's service. Mr. Ilitocon AM observed, that at present Lady Char lotte Lindsay was not in attendance. WM. CARRINOTON was then railed in and sworn. Examined by Dr. LusitiarGrox. What is your situation in life am Valet to Sir William (Jell. What were you before von entered his service ?.—That was the lirst situation I hail as a t. lint I wish to know what was your station of life he fore you entered Sir IVilliam Dell's service?---1 was in the navy. What was your rank ?---That of a Midshipman. Did von attend Sir William (Jell towards the end of the rear ISII ?--I 131t1 you reside in the hirise of her Royal Highness the Princess of Wales?---1 did. Do you remember Bergand entering the service of the Princess?--1 do. I n what capacity did he enter her service?--As aC.onrier. Did you observe, that his coming into the service ex cited any jealousy any where ?—Noue whatever. What was said un the occasion ? Mr. Arroanter-UavaaaL.—•• I object to his giving evidence on what was said." Dr. LUSNINGTON gave up the question. Do you remember the first night of your arrival at Naples I-1 es. M you recollect where Bergami slept that night ? Id°. Where was it?—ln a small room over the Steward's. Who was the Steward ?—Siccard. Did he sleep in the same room the second night?— No. What was the reason for changing his room?—Be cause it was so low he could not stood upright. How near was the room to which Bergin:id removed to the Princess's room?—lt was sixty fret apart. Were there any oilier rooms between that of Bergami and the Princess?—There were three rooms and a passage. Can you say who cm-ivied those rooms ?—.Yes. W m . Austin the first, Ilieronyrnous the second, and Dr. Hol land the third. Then I am to understand that there were three MOM intervening between that of the Princess and of Her gami ?—Yes. Were any of those three rawasopen to the passage ? Yes. Do yes remember a masked ball given by the Princess at Naples do. Do you recollect the servants appearing in any parti solar ;hese at that ball t--No. Did you yourself wait upon the company on that occa sion ?---I did. Did you travel in the suite of the Princess on the jonr ney to Naples did. Do you muember Mr. William Austin on that jour ney ?-1 do. Can you say where Mr. William Austin usually slept, before you reached Naples s—By himself when there was a room for him ; and when there was not be soma times slept in the room of the Princess. Do you know a person of the name of hlajticci I do. Did you ever bear him speak of Ompteda ? The Arrnewer-Ouren A L.-1 object to that question. 1 object to any conversation between the witness Ma jocri upon the subject of Baron Ompteda. I am not aware that any question was put to hlajocci respecting the Baron any question therefore this question cannot have been asked for the purpose of contradicting his testimony. The SOLICITOR-0 ex tot AL contended, that his Learned Friends could not examine as to a fact collateral to the question. If they could not state what evidence Ma jocci had given upon the point, they were not in a con dition to pnt the question. Dr. Lonnirinvon understood his Learned Friends to have divided the objection into two points. First, that the question respecting Baron Otopteda, was a collateral point of enquiry. The Learnetleounsel was proceeding with his argu ment, when, Lord lIRDZSDALI moved. that Counsel do withdraw. He thought that Counsel had no right to state in -ar gument, what was not in evidence. Earl Omer did not agree in the opinion of the Noble and Learned Lord. He thought lie was not justified in stating that the Learned Counsel had exceeded the bounds of his duty. Lord REDRIIDA LI thought that any evidence of Na jocei's knowledge of Ompteila should be given by Ma joeci, and not by the witness at the bar. The LORD CiI•NCILLLOR said it was the first time in his life that he had known an attempt to prove the acts of a third person, by a conversation which took place with a second. Lord Hasatwe thought that the interference with the argument of the Learned Counsel had been Improper. The LORD CHANCE LLoa ordered the Counsel to be re called. Dr. LOSHINOTON said, when their Lordships were pleased to stop his argument, he did not coneeive that the declaration of Majocci could be cousidered as evi dence to anyone fact. He (Dr. L.) thought the evidence of that witness was completely destroyed. That, hoia ever, was not his argument. His object was to shew that the conduct of Baron thnpteda towards the Querns was of importance in their case, and bit argument was, that evidence respecting that conduct was not collateral bit that it might be consider 41 as prin:ipal. He stated Aortrnt T —Monday. we understand, is the o thus, because he thought it was a part of their case to day arpointed (or the °pada, d this small hut nursedemonstrate that a plot against her Majesty did exist, tire pace of publi c entertainmenL We heartily wish it that it was attempted to be carried into execution, and !Tett . encouragement : of this we ore sore. that if the that it was detected by. her Majesty, then Princess of Proprietors pursue the same liberal nonne they did Wales; for, by proving this, they would find a perm lost season, the sane brilliant success mast attend I fit apolocy for a great part of the conduct of her the m Royal Highness, which w as attributed to her as One of th e m os t eateni i„ and beautiful se l ect i ons a . criminal.

There certainly can be no objection to her Maresres Counsel par cling the defence if they think proper ; bat as they bare positively falsified one part of the evidence. they have (I.•stroyed the foundation of the whole. As her MainaTest defence has assumed that ap. ?mace of decision which must ensure success in the jailpest of all those whose judgment is worth a moment's notice, there can be no impropriety in refer► ring to a part of the case which, in an earlier stage, it was aleno4 dangerous to touch, lest her Al AJZSTT . A interest might be affected by the taking any notice of the opprobrium which was Leaped upon the person with whom she was charged to have been guilty. ficaessir was said to be a person sprung from the very dregs of the earth ; and, to be sure, if it were so, it well became the penners of the Bill to make nee of language which redected upon themselves and their lives. However, the fact turtle ont to be, that Bill SARI WAS recommended to her Maanerit's Chasm berlaia in the highest terms, as a person of exemplary conduct, aed of noble birth, though of fallen fortunes —that the Chamberlain engaged hint withal her Me )sty's knowleder, and that the person vs ho recom mended Beau . snt , a Nobleman a distinction, em braced him most affectionately at parting. One eir enuntance, indeed, came out on the cross-eximination, which leads us t o d en b t t h e f act o f Butoamt's being what is called of noble birth, according to the general acceptation of the phrase, and our knowledge.of its veal application. Mr. CRAVVE observes. " I re marked, from the first, that Beaciamr was neither focar..g nor aerri.'s ; and that on his advance :am. he demeaned himself like a geatlemen." Ibis, we confess, will very fairly offer an argument spinst the assertion of his noble birth, according to modern language; and should Mr. Arronsme-Gs :renal., in his reply, make use of the arguments we trust he will have the candour to acknowledge him self our debtor. 7 •• T.* The ATTORMRT•GICNCRAL Was surprised at the asser dos of Mr. Brougham, and asked him to point out where any objection, had before been raised to Ompteda's some on that Aisle of the bar.--(lmpatient cries of go os, go on).--Ilis Learned Friends dealt in these kind of assertions. They said the credit of Majorei was tie etroyea ; but they had no right to make that a. Lion. as it was for their Lordships, to judge set that, and the time was not yet come. He contended that the objections were perfectly well founded, for that his Learned Friend should produce evidence to support their assumptions. Ile slid not wish to impute slashers and calumnies to his Lem ned Friends, but in his soul he believed that they were calumnies, sod the only question before their Lordships was, whe ther the question put by Dr. Lusliiegton is admissable. Mr. Bnot•citau rose to make a few observations on the plot, wlieu he was interrupted by This Arvonnav-Onsauaz.--My Leernesi Friend has told your Lordships' that he had very little to add to the observations of leis friend Dr. Lushington. Mr. Bnovoitam.—Yes, but I have added nothing at all. (.1 laugh.) The LORD CH 4,:crt.Loß made a few observations which we could not distinctly hear, He said that if their Lord ships felt any difficulties in deciding, they might have recourse to die assistance of the Learned Judges. Lord Eustis said, that in his view of the case, the Learned Counsel had a right not only to refer to that part of the evidence, but also to accompany it with his continents. Their Lordships. as judges, were to con sider the testimony given by Majucci, and the Learned Counsel proposes to shew tor a conversation that took lace between Majorci and tie witn , that be had a knowledge of the fact. • Me. BROt'otia t hoped his Lordship would permit him to make a few observations on the subject in dispute. He contended th it Majoeri having to her or six ques tions give the shiver of " I sin not remember, or I sin nut know," that be hail a right to ask whether he did not only know, but was well acquainted with all the details of it. lie hoped lie should he permitted to take the only means by whirls lie mail m.. 4 •ative and coatrailict the history of ifujorci. For if he timid prove that at a cer tain period he we present, when a transaction relating to picklocks occurred, and when a person was kicked out of doors on account of it ; and if he could prove that he was not only present, which Irons a lapse of time, might have been forgotten, but that from a subsequent conversation which occurred, the fact was quite clear, why should he, Mr. 11., be prevented from proving it. And even if this matter was slerideil in the King's Bench, their Lordships had their own decisions, on the records of that House. Mr. 11. referred their Lordship" to the case of the Duchess of Kingston, and the rase of Elizabeth Canning, which dill not occur in that House, but at the Ohl Bailey. Ile wool.' not take a very circuitous route, for he hail it in evidence to sliew, that he was bodily present in the House. and can any one in their senses doubt that he did know the fart, and when he swore he did nor know the fact, that he did not speak the truth. The ATTORNivtirmitiAL expressed his serprise that a person of the talent awl professional acumen of his learned friend, should persist in contending that this evidence was admissible. lie would appeal to every lawyer present, whether, in the 'inns below, any evi dence was offered in contradiction to the general scope of a witness's evidence until the way for that contra diction had been first prepared by asiing him to a dis tinct fact. It was perfectly clear, he submitted, that the present question was merely collateral, and therefore. not ahltnSssihle ; but collateral or not. bis learned frieu4 had not, in his cross-examination, asked the witness respecting the transaction of which lie now wished to offer evidence in contradiction, and therefore he could net offer the contradiction at all. In either view of the ease, he submitted, that the ground taken by his learned friend was perfectly nntenal.- and lie should sit down with perfect confidence that their Lordships would not depart from the known clear and established Miles of other courts, which lie humbly conceived their Lordships wash! do, if they were to admit the evidence then tendered by his learned fiewl. V Lord &mums expressed his great surprise at the oh jeetion itself, u well as the arguments bi which the Attornev-fieneral attempted to support it. Ile gro•ind and leading rule which slionla govern the proceedings of the douse was, the discovery of truth and the ad. ministering of impartial jutice ; and would their i.ord shipe.shut out a piece of evidence so importani tb dot eliciting of truth, as that which was then offered Vslbe Queen's Counsel i He was sere they would not; errs if the missies' rules of ',ideate stood in their way, Who •.••• • t • : 4: .1 • I. .. S. . denied that they did, ant he was really to contend tb the proceeding contemplated by the laearned Counsel of her Majesty was its perfect conformity v ito those rules. He recollected well that when lie was the liar, he had over and over again at Nisi Prius taken the course now proposed by her Majesty's Counsel, and hie doing so was never opposed, although his adversaries were the leading advoratea of the day. Ile submitted to their Lordships that SlaJoeci might he called hack, art confronted with the witness, which was • course usitady and properly taken when it became necessary. in to Courts below. His opinion on this subket was , t decided. It was true, he was getting out of slate, and it had now been many years since he had practised, lost !lc conceived it impossible to reconcile to any rule of justke the exclusion of the evidence now u tfeeed at the Bar. He repeated, that if what the witness swore Ws. in MO.- stance inconsistent with the statement of the witness brought its emitradietion, the evislence of the latter wit nnieossiltwhaas already t th e adt 4ne,.ii oiss si i .o bl u r : a mr o i al I s e should iat eone bei was of mmitt,. lp t. b: proceed in the way they proposed. The Loan CHANCELLOR %Ai I, lids was a enhet o: considerable importance, and w hates er might he is op'. ninn, lie could nut offer it with sufficient ulers•rence whom ever it wu opposed to that of Isis Noble Friend. whose practice and experience in that branch oldie pro fession peculiar to the !present case had been so owes snore extensive than Isis own.

Warning to the remat% of his Noble Friend, that the witness 'night he called hark. and confronted with her 3lajestv's witness, his Lor, , - hip observed, that he thirtglit the House couiit not b.• boat cautious, lest they should tweak in u p on thwor rules of the other courts to Which their Loribli:rs had exp d so laudable a desire to conform themselves. His Lordship concludial, by propos ing two questions (eiebr tring the matter in argument) for the consideration of the Judges. and st steal, that un til that opinion shook' hr before t h e House, he tioold refrain from giviiig his own. Earl linty considered the objection of the Att. rney.General as very narrow, an I t.erooliArly trrhnicsl It., thought the suggestion tit a !kohl, that 'a•rLi should be called back. sought to be acts sl niloon ; 31111 be would propose, therefore, that Niajocai should le• :di ed in. The Earl of Livrnecont. then rose an.l observed. tii;•t although hr perfectly cuiuridrd in opinion n s Noble and Learned friend on the Woolsaeli, he vrt should he afraid to consent to the adoption of !list opinion, and in preference, he declared lie wonlii rather that 31ajoisci should be calle I back At m o re ; for in what a situation would the House find itself if the Judges should be of opinion that this evidence was nut ad missible. Their Lordships must then either art n! • r to the opinion of the Judges. or they must •t an apparent act of injustice by excluding evidence which was offered on the part of the Queen, in contradiction to one of the witnesses against her. Lord ER4IIINC explained. The Loin Cit INCFLLOR thought that the best Wly of getting rid of the ililticul!v would be tv ca ll Alasoc,•; again, restricting his examination to that point. this could not be dime uitl t consent of both side.; and if Counsel had ally objection to such a coarse they lead better signify it. The Avrivaxxv-firxrnat., was proceeding to ar; , fle against with a course, %%hen The LORD CIIANCI'LLOR sug,rsted that lie had simp!y to give, or to withhohl, his consent. The ATTORNEV-I;ENERAL did nut feel authorised to give his consent. The question was then referred to the Judges, soot, to save time, 3lr. Brougham said he would call another witness.

This question was objected to am; withdrawn. Lady Charlotte Lindsay-then withdrew. Lord Hoke %ND was of opinion that the Judges ought to put out of their mind all that they had heard from the Counsel at the Bar ; and that the House ought to listen only to theJnilger, He thought such a mode of prac• tire muteness'l is the dignity of the House, alistinetly In understand and to adhere strictly to the functions of the Judges. Lord Latinists tke maintained that so long as the op posite party had any thing to say on a question, that question ought not to bepht to those learned personages. It was conformable to the practice of the-House that Judges slorl.l hare the benefit of the arguments of ()mussel ; and hr was cleritledlr of opinion that a second argument should be permitted in this case fee the al - of the judges.

By re ferring to the minutes of his evidence, their Lordships would find, that when questioned by Mr. Brougham whether he ever saw Ompteda; he said he had not. Ii he knew the name? He did not. Even after the long voyage, he acknowledged baring seen a Herman at the Villa Villani •, he did not know his name ; bnt it was Baron, Baron something. If, therefore, he (Dr. Lushington) could thew that 3lajocci was in the habit of speaking to Omptetla, that he was in the habit of speaking of lion, his credit would be entirely destroyed ; and if it were of importance to discredit this witness, it was of importance to produce the testimony he was contending for. Majocci was asked if during the whole period of his service in her Royal Highness. bonsehold, he had seen or knew of any blacksmith being hired to pick locks, or of any locks being picked. Ile did not remember. Did he recollect soy thing about any false keys? he did not remember to have heard. Any thing about a quarrel between Lieutenant Hownam and the gallant Baron? he did not know ; and lie went on persisting in a long series of non mi rieurdos. As the conduct of Baron Omptella was of importance, it was of importance to prove what that conduct was; and as he hail sheivii that they had a distinct legal right to ill. so, his Learned Friends were wrong in inter rupting him. Having ahewn that 3lajocci denied all knowledge of the plot, it was plain he should do away with that denial if he proved that lie had some time after spoken of locks anti keys, and of the plot itself, which he believed he should tie aisle to do, if he shrived that he said, speaking of (hnpteda, that `. if his Royal Mis tress would permit him he would kill him like a dog." His object was to discredit this witnees, and be could not see that his Learned Friends had any valid objection ; to what he was doing. Mr. linot:Guast.--311 Learned Friend who has jest spoken, has so ably stated the case, that there is little less for nie to do, further than to remind their Lord ships what the purport of the defence of the question was. Your Lordships will observe, that we do hut coil tend, that no mats can contend. and that ivy Learned Friend did not contend, that we have a right to prove a fact collaterol to the evidence. We desire to bring the conduct of Ompteda before your Lordships, in the shape of contradiction of evidence pioduced by the opposite side at your Lordships liar. The Loan Cu ',MELLO% stated, that it would have saved much time if the Counsel had told the House that what the witness was about to give in evidence was with respect to evidence already given at the Bar. Mr. 111101:GPIAM sail, lie was well aware before the question was asked that it would be objected to, for it hail so happened that Ompteda's name hail never been mentioned without a s:op being put to it by the opposite side. 3 - 410.•••.-- • ....••••••••••=11P.R..........tai... • .6. —... .asl• •••• ~--- , .....eatr r - wr - ^ ~~~ Fr" v!...,,, r 4 .
