WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 25, 1820. PARLIAMENT. lIOUSE OF LORDS-YESTERDAY. THE QUEEN'S DEFENCE. Continuation of the Cross-examination of Captain BRIGGS by Mr. BROUGHAM. Q. You mentioned to him - (Lieut. Hownam) what Captain Pechell had said of Bergami : then Pechell, I suppose, had made some difficulty, had started some objection to her Royal High ness dining on board his ship ?—A. He positively refused to sit .down with Bergami ; he had no objection at to her Royal Highness. lie would not sit down with Bergami ?—I do not know that positively, as I was not on board that ship. What led to the conversation you were speak ing of ; were you talking about Bergami sit ting down to her Royal Highness's table ?—No, not about that. I understood the conversation to begin with a statement that Captain Pechell had seen Ber gami standing behind.his chair ?—No. You have mentioned the observation Lieute nant llolknam made to you, did that observation operate on Captain Pechell as a reason against his sitting down at the same table with Her gami I—No, I cannot say that ; it occurred long afterwards ; it was when Captain Pechell saw her Royal Highness for the second time. Did you make any note of the conversation you have mentioned at the, time it took place 1— None whatever. You have now spoken then to what you recol lect of a conversation that took-place five years ago ?—I have a perfect recollection of the con versation. When did you mention it ?—I believe I have mentioned it several times. But do you recollect any one particular time ? —I remember that it was brought particularly to my recollection by a letter which I received, inquiring if I recollected such a conversation. At what time did you receive that letter— since these proceedings commenced ?—Seven or eight weeks ago. Since these - proceedings commenced ?—Since the House met the first time. You say the conversation was brought to your recollection by that letter ?—lt was never ab sent from my recollection, and when I was written to to know if such a conversation had taken place I answered, to say that it had, and that it was true. It was never a moment from your recollection? —I always remembered it well. But that letter brought it to your recollection A PEER objected to this question. Mr.l3nouGnAm admitted it to be unnecessary, as the fact was already on their Lordships' Journals. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL begged pardon, but this was not the fact. The last questions and answers were then read over, from which it appeared that the witness had stated the conversation to have been more particularly brought to his recollection by the letter which he had received on the subject. Cross-examination resumed. Q. Now, Captain Briggs, as tl►is conversation was always More or.less in your recollection, will you mention one of the occasions on which you spoke of it ?—A. l have ►mentioned it on several occasions that I could name : I once mentioned it to Sir G. Cockburn. O! you mentioned it to Sir G. Cockburn; you mean one of the Lords of the Admiralty About when ?—This was sonic time ago. How long ?—Many mouths ago. Some tour or fire. I men tioned it to him long before I knew that I should have to mention it here. Had Sir G. Cockburn questi9ned you on this subject ?—No. . . How did yon begin the ,conversation—What . led to it —I forget what led to the conversation, hut I remember the fact of my mentioning it to him. You say this was four or &re months ago?—Yes. You have had the honour of dining with the. King lately, have you not ?—I have ; at Portsmouth. Since you were last examined in this House ?—Yes, since I was last examined in this House. Ite-exandned by the ATrORNEY-GENERAL. Q. I believe you have the command ofaguard-ship at Ports mouth ?—A. I have: I hate the command of the Britannia. Had you that command at the time his Majesty was at Portsmouth ?—Yes. Did you dine with his Majesty in company with the other officers of the fleet who paid their respects to his Majesty ? Yes, the officers of the navy at Portsmouth ; every. one of the Captains without exception, Examined . by Lord NIORLEY. Q. Now, in narrating the conversation which took place between you and Lieuteuant Hownam, can you take upon yourself positivel y to swear, that the words were,'' had gone down upon his knees to ask her Majesty not to let Ber gaini sit at her table ? Or, "I could have clone so ?"—A. I understood him to hare said, he had entreated her upon his knees not to suffer Bergarni to sit at her table. I understood you to say that you made no memorandum of what passed ?—Yes. • And that this conversation took place in the month of No vember, 1815, and consequently five years ago ?—Yes. - Now he good enough to say whether you can recollect pri vate conversation by hearsay ?—The circumstance of toy hav ing had that conversation. • Vben this conversation at first passed, did yon conceive it passed front the circumstance of Bergami's - first introduction to the table, or do you suppose it arose from a previous ar rangement for that introduction. The ATroast.Y-GcxERAL.—My Lords, I am unwilling to interpose any objection; but, do your Lordships think that what this Gentleman " conceives" can be evidence ? The Loan CHANCELLOIL—The question is, what was said by one to the other. The examination of the Witness resumed by Lord Mon LE y. .Q. I would ask whether or no Lieutenant Hownatit stated this to him the first time on which Bergami dined at the table of her Majesty, or did it arise from incidental circumstances, or in consequence of previmis arrangement?---A. I under stood him to say so in answer to a question that I had asked him ; and I understo o d it to have happened on the day th e change took place, from the circumstance of that change. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL.—My Lords, as the case now stands, I kill not trouble your Lord ships with any more witnesses. Will you allow me to suite that Captai❑ Briggs, having a com mand at Portsmouth, which requires his constant attendance, he requests you will indulge him by allowing him to go to Portsmouth. The LORD CHANCELLOR.—Leave was given to other witnesses under similar circumstances. Mr. BnouuttAm.—l have not the slightest ob jection to it, my Lords. I have no wish to in commode either Capt. Briggs or the service. The Duke of SOMERSET expressed a wish, be fore the Counsel for the Queen summed up, that he might be allowed to recal Lieut. Ilownain. Mr. BROUGHAM, interposing, said, that per haps it became him to state whether he had any evidence to offer in rejoinder. He added, that, under the circumstances in which he was placed, he had no evidence to offer further. Lord LIItPOOL.OR reference to the request of the Duke of Somerset, observed, that as the ob ject of the Noble Lord's motion was the re-exa mination of a witness who had been already done with, it might perhaps be convenient to state the particular points with reference to which the re examination was desired. The Duke of SustEnsET stated, that he wished to ask Lieutenant Kownatu some particulars, as to the tent or awning o❑ the deck of the po lacre, which, to his Lordship's mind, were not exactly clear. Lord LIVERPOOL had not the slightest objec tion to Lieutenant liownam's being recalled, nor would he now enter into any argument with re ference to the right of• Noble Lords to call back witnesses; but he would suggest to his Noble Friend, whether, for convenience sake, as well as for the sake of regularity, it would not be better that the examination which had been closed, should rest where it did ; because, if one witness were recalled, to state more particularly any minor facts, all the witnesses might be recalled for the same purpose. The Marquess of LANSDOWN perfectly concur red in the observations of Lord. Liverpool. If the proposed course were to be pursped, every witness might be recalled who had not clearly and conclusively established any particular fact to,which he had been interrogated. He was sure the Noble Duke would abstain from a course whicl might be productive of much in convenience. The Duke of SOMETISET - withdrew his appli cation. Lord GnosvExon l for the same prudential rea sons, declined making a similar application for the like objeot.—(Cites of" Go on ! go on !" now proceeded from various parts of the House.) _ - The LoRD CILPICELLOR then asked Mr. Brougham whether they were now prepared to proceed to the summing up. Mr. BROUGHAM.---43 , Lords , to save vour Lordships' time and tro u bl e , my riend, Mr. Den man, tells me he is ready to goon. Mr. DENMAN then addressed their Lordships as follows:—" Under any circumstances in which it is possible for any advocate to be called on to proceed to the discharge of the solemn duty now imposed on me, I might well request some indulgence from your Lordships : and it may be that there are circumstances in my situ ation that seem more particularly to entitle me to more than an ordinary share of your kind ness. For after the application which was yes terday made to your Lordships by the Attorney- G eneral, to postpone the further proceedings in this case, until he should be enabled to procure the attendance- of Colonel Brown, it might have been expected that not a solitary witness—not a single point of evidence, was all that it was contemplated to produce in support of this case, in addition to those which had been so amply supplied at the commencement. This I con cQive to be the more deserving of yeui? Lord ships' consideration, when you reflect that the cross- , :?xamination of the witnesses for the defence led plainly to the inference that it was the inten tion of the Learned- Counsel for the Bill to go at length into evidence in reply, and that this must have tended to divert our minds from that connection with the case made upon the other side, which it was necessary for us to preserve, in the contemplation of being required, to proceed immediately with • our summing up. But 1 should have been wanting in my duty if I had suffered any circumstance so far to draw aside my attention from all the prominent points of this case, as to be under the necessity of requiring any delay in the discharge of my particular duty, which might have occasioned a delay in the _proceedings, or any inconvenience to your Lordships. I shall, therefore, my Lords, pro ceed without further preface to lay before you some observations on the case, by which I trust I shall satisfy your Lordships, and convince the public mind, if any conviction yet be wanting, that the Queen has established her complete de fence, and is entitled to a.full acquittal from all and every one of those charges which your Lord ships have permitted yourselves, to try against the Queen of England. I wish to proceed to this great and solemn inquiry with all the calmness and soberness of judgment that the importance of the case demands; and, if, in the course of th e in terlocutory contests which have abounded through the course of these proceedings on points that h av e arisen, some things may have been uttered that appeared harsh in their nature, or severer in their application, I trust it will be attrib uted to an excess of that natural anxiety which th e na ture of the case would call up. I feel it due to the Attorney-General to disclaim what has been attributed to me of personal disrespect towards him, and if I could believe that what dropt from me yesterday, was construed by him into a doubt of his veracity, Ishould know o f no ad,.. [PRICE SEVENPEN CE. quate reparation for such an attack upon his feelings. Warm I may have been, and it is impossible for any man who comes here with right feelings not to be so ; but I would be the last person in the world to wound the feelings of those who are opposed to me in the discharge of an unpleasant duty. When I consider that the Queen of England has been, from tire hour of her first landing in 'this country to the present moment, visited by the most cruel persecution, it is impossible for me not to feel influenced by those sensations which must influence every feel ing mind. These sensations have occasionally, per haps, made me more warm than I should have been, as it regards my Learned. Friend the At torney-General, in his personal character; but I will not for one moment forego my right of anim adverting upon his conduct as an Advocate. I will not scruple to assert that he has betrayed too much of the spirit of this prosecution, which in its disgraceful duties has weighed him down, and for which no honours, however extensive, can compensate ; a prosecution, my Lords, which I would not have conducted for any earthly consi, deration, for I feel -that no purchase can be large enough for the disgrace w hi ch must attach to those who upon such grounds have sought to crush the wife of •the present King of England. Before I proceed, my Lords, 1 must once more refer to the indictment. It is there charged—" That her Majesty, while at Milan, in Italy, had en gaged in her service, an individual, in a- menial capacity, and that while in that situation a most unbecoming and degrading intimacy soon com menced between her Royal Highness and that individual ; that he was not only advanced to a high situation in her Royal Highness's household, but that he was received by her Royal Highness with great and extraordinary marks of favour and distinction; and that she, unmindful of her ex alted rank and station,and wholly regardless of her own honour and character, had conducted herself towards him, both in public and private, in the various places and countries which she visited, with indecent and offensive familiarity and free dom, and carried on a licentious, disgraceful, and adulterous intercourse with the said Bergami, by which conduct of her Royal Highness, great scandal and dishonour had been brought upon her Royal Highness's family and this kingdom."— The evidence can only apply to the proof of the allegations made by the A ttorney-General ; and it is a subject of complaint, and I say it is most grievous to her Majesty's Counsel, that the charges in the preamble should have been so vague, so complicated, and have occurred, as is alleged, at such a distance of time, that it cannot be a matter of surprise that I and my Learned Friends should complain. It is true that Bergami did enter her Majesty's service in a menial situation, if the situation of courier in her Majesty's' ser vice is a menial situation. It is true that her Ma jesty promoted him to a higher and more confi dential situation. It is true that Bergarai re ceived honours from different Sovereigns ; and, my Lords, when that is made a subject of charge against her Majesty that she procured them, it is not too much to say, that I and my colleigues, and indeed every body, expected that evidence would have been' offered to prove that these titles and . honours had been procured by her Majesty for him. But, my Lords, What is the fact ? not a tittle of evidence has been of fered to establish this charge.. The only proof of Bergami having received any honour is, that her Majesty, when she travelled an arduous and most tedious voyage to Jerusalem, rewarded. her suite, who accompanied her in her difliculties on that journey, by instituting an order to com memorate the extraordinary undertaking of a British Princess. It is proved that she did in stitute an order ; but, my Lords, was that a crime ? Bergami was not alone the person who received the honour ; all her suite who were about her person received the honour. I say, my Lords, what crime did my Illustrious Client commit, in instituting this Order in commemora tion of her journey to Jerusalem, the Holy City ? No crime whatever. It was no criminal offence for a subject to institute an Order, when abroad, or even at home. In France, Noblemen and Princes had established Orders and had never been called to an account by the reigning autho rities ; they had established orders of . merit, and more, three brothers in Italy created au Order of knighthood, to reward their faithful followers ; a merchant had adopted a similar course ; and many other instances can be cited of a similar character. I have, my Lords, treated this charge with seriousness, merely because it was so treat ed on the other side, though, as an offence, it was truly absurd ; but it was put in the bill to swell out the charges against her Majesty, and I believe that such must be the opinion of your Lordships. The Dukes of Orleans and Bourbon had institut ed Orders, and where was the criminality ? My Lords, I believe that I have dwelt longer on this point than it required; but as it is alleged as an olfen •c that my client instituted an Order, .I thought it my duty not to slightly handle this charge, but to satisfactorily show to your- Lordship;, as I trust I have, that the charge ought not to have been in the preamble of the Bill. Now comes, my Lords, the charge of adulterous intercourse, and the real question for your Lordships' consideration is, whether an adul terous intercourse has taken place between her Majesty time Queen of this realm, and Bartholo mew Bergami ; and also •whether that adultery took place under such circumstances as to bring scandal and disgrace upon the Royal Family in the eyes of Europe, as, is alleged in the preamble
