Examined by the LORI'S. Lord LLENBOROUGH.—Q. When Bergami was taken into her Royal Highness's service, did you make any inquiry as to his character ?—A. None. He was introduced by a Mar quess, whose recommendation was thought sufficient. Did yon observe that his behaviour was superior to that of most couriers was, in my opinion. He hely:Ned very properly. He was• nut quite so chatty as Italians generally are ; and I believe he behaved very properly. Was his not being so chatty the only reason you had flit thinking him superior to most couriers, ur was his behaviour gentlemanly?—His behaviour was not particularly gentle manly I—He behaved well; hut I am not in the habit of knowing couriers. Did you consider him too much of a gentleman to act as a courier ?-1 - le never shaved himself.' He never refused to du any thing he was told to do.—(A laugh.) Did you consider his manners more those of a gentleman. than that of a courier ?—They might be rather the manners of a gentleman of the lower sort. %%There did William Austin sleep during the journey to Na ples I—ln her Royal Highness's room. As far as I recollect ' he - slept there on the way to Naples, hut at Naples I believe an-alteration ti ok place. • The wittiest was then examined by Lords DONOUGHMOttE and CATIICART• Witness stated, that none of Bergatiii!s family were in the service of the Queen when he went, to Na ples.
