PARLIAMENTS HOUSE OF LORDS-YESTERDAY Conclusion of Yesterday's Proceedings. Lord SOMER.' said, he should be most h a ppy if he could a gree with the Noble Lord who bad just sat down. Nothing would give him more satisfaction than to be able to say that in his judgment the Bill ought nut to pass. Sorry he was that a conviction directl+ the contrary was firmly and decidedly fixed in his mind. The subject, with whatever levity it might have been treated on some occasions, (and in.some instances there were among their Lordships those who had treated it with levity,) appeared to him of a most grave and serious na ture. He thought it nearly impossible to doubt that the guilt of her Majesty had been established, when.a consider able majority of their Lordships had voted for the second reading of the Bill, and when many of those Peers who de cided against its being read a second time, had expressed strong suspicions of her Majesty's conduct, while several . of them had positively declared their conviction 'that she was guilty. He felt, that in this last stage of the Bill, he should fatigue their Lordships if he were to go at great length-into the evidence given at their Bar ; but it was impossible for him to do justice to the opinion he had formed, without tres passing to a certain degree on their Lordships' time, by re ferring to what had . been stated by some of the witnesses brought forward to support the Bill, It appeared to him, that several points were to be considered in. deciding on this case. The first point was the positive proofs which they bad of the Queen's guilt. By positive proofs he did not mean that any persons bad sworn to having actually seen the adultery com mitted, but he considered that they had proof of the adultery in the long train of circumstances which had been sworn to, that led directly to the inference that the crime had been committed. It had been argued that the character of the persons who had gl ve rt evidence at the Bar was such as to deny theta' all claim to credit, and that their testi mony was sheWn to be such that it-must be regarded as de structive to the whole charge. To him it appeared that the direct reverse of all this had turned out to be the fact. This he would shew their Lordships in one instance. He parti cularly alluded' to the evidence of Barbara Kress. Her evi dence was ,such, that a N ob l e Lord o p posed to Kress. H had given it as his opinion, that she was a fair and ingenu ous witness; but he had argued that she might have been mistaken; that she might have' mistaken the Countess of Oldi for the Princess. He (Lord Somers) must contend, that on every fair consideration of evidence, the testimony of Bar bara Kress could not be in any degree invalidated. It • had been proved, that she had lived at a number of places, in very low situations—in situations which exposed a young woman like her, in a remarkable degree, to be led into the commis sion of acts which were degrading to the female character. But after all the inquiries that bad been made with respect to her charactero not a sin g le act had been proved against her. Now, what was the case at Carlsruhe ? The Princess slept .in the room No. 10. Adjoining that apartment was No. 11, which was used as a dining-room :- awl next to that was No. 12, which was the room in which Bergami slept. There was a door opening from each of the rooms 10 and 12, into the dining-room, so that it was only necessary to cross that apartment to• pass from the bedchamber of her Royal Hi g hness to that of Bergami , or from the sleeping room of Bergami to that of her Royal Highness. It had been stated. by the witness that a broader bed, a bed.different from that which had been commonly used, bad been placed in Bergami's chamber before the arrival of the Princess; but after the ar rival of the couri er who announced her approach. Under these circumstances, it was impossible to infer more or less than that that bed had been placed in Bergami's apartment by directions given by the courier, who preceded her R. H• T e heir Lordships would t hen find that one evening, during th abode of her Royal Highness a t Carlsrbue, Barbara Kress carried water, nut by the directions of any one, but in the re gular performance of her business as chambermai 12, the d at the in where her Royal High ness had put up, into No. of Bergami, and in that room she saw Bergami and the Prin cess ; Bergami was in bed—the Princess was satire: on it. The witness naturally staid b ut a moment, being frightened by what she saw, which was the arm of . Bergami (that arm she described to be white) round the neck of the Princess. What could be stronger than this? If this were not very like a positive proof of adultery having been committed added, , be knew not what ought to be r eceived as such. Kress that as soon as she entered, the Princess let the arm of Ber gami'fall ; she seemed alarmed, and jninped up on perceiving the witness. Their Lordships would remember the discus sion they had bad on the mentninig of the Word which bad been rendered " jump ;" - and they world recollect that it had been proved beyond all doubt, that that which the witness intended to state was, that the Princess bad jumped up, alarmed at her opening the door. The witness further stated that she had made op the bed in the room No. 12, and being asked if she had found any thing on it, she had mentioned a cloak. The Attorney• General then in quired whether she had found this cloak "on " the bed or "in" it. The an swer was, that she found this cloak in the bed. This fur nished another corroborative circumstance. The examina tion proceeded — Q. Was that a cloak appearing to belong to a female?— A. Probably, because behind it had a kind of hood. Q. What did you do with that cloak ?—A, 1 took it out and unfolded it. Q. At what time of the day was it you found this cloak in the bed ?--eA. It was is the morning when I made the bed. Q. Describe a little more particularly the cloak, what it was made of ?—A. It was of silk, the colour grey. Q. Did you afterwards see any one wearing that cloak ? A. I have seen a cloak nest day on the Princess, but I cannot say that it was the same. —Here, in his opinion, - was a very strong corroborative cir cumstance. The witness had then been asked, Q. Was it a cloak of a similar description to that yon had seen upon the bed, that von saw the Princess wearing ? The answer was, " Yes; it was of the same colour."' Q. Do you know whether it was of the same make? whether it was of silk that you saw upon the Princess-?—A. Yes; it was likewise silk. Q. Had the cloak the Princess was wearing a hood like that you saw in the bed ?—A. Yes; it had such a hood. Now, if it was possible to trust to the evidence of any woman, the evidence of Barbara Kress seemed as strung as any that could be given. Bergami was seen in bed, with his arm round the neck of the Princess, who was sitting on the bed, and the next day a cloak worn by her Royal Highness was found in the bed! What could be stronger than this? His understand ing might be weak, but certainly such' facts carried conviction to his mind. Hethen noticed the evidence given by Kress, with respect. to the stains which she had observed, and commented on the natural wayin -which her testimony bad-been given. The facts site had stated,-be thought, under all the circumstances of the case, supplied positive proof that the adultery had been committed. Barbara Kress, it appeared, had been reluctant to come as a witness—she at last came to England, accom panied by her brother, and nothing whatev er had been p roved against. er that could , at all tend to discredit her evidence. Upon the whole, his Lerdship considered that the case spoken to lay the witness Barbara Kress was established upon the most clear and satisfactory evidence, which had not been in the slightest degree shaken or impeached. His Lordship here alluded to several of the leading features of the case, and begged to say, that certainly 114 bad been absent from the House When Lieutenant Flinn gave his evidence; as also dnring that of Lieutenant Hownam, whom he considered as haring a strong interest in the case ; but as to the subject of his being absent daring any per iod, he be gg ed leave to say that his conduct had been wholly misrepresented by Tine Morning Clawilele. That paper had asserted that he was pre sent during the whole of the ease for the Bill, and absent dur ing all the Queen's case. •. He would here state to • their Lordships that such an assertion was a positive falsehood. The only periods in The Progress of the case during which be was absent were while the evidence of Lieutenant Hownam liMi•Flinn, and during the somonng up, of the Queen's case tiy_ftlr. Denman, and during the Solicitor-general's reply. HIS Lordship thought it proper to have this matter set right before their Lordships, and having made this observation he should take no further notice of it: His Lordship now came to that part of the case which shewed that Bergami, the cornier, dined at the .satire table with the Princess-of Wales, attired in that livery in which - he had waited behind her , chair, anti discharged all the offices of a menial servant. If any thing could hate remained wanting to S . :111;g any reallpable Mind of tlol4ncL-iture.of that Connection whith was subsisting -bet weet a 21143 P;-;el%-iikr-bia.. Lord ship thought this proof di-coive of their guilt. A circum stance • Strinigly corroborative of the criminal' familiarity with Bergami was derived front the evidence of Lieutenant 1-lownam, from which- it appeared that site was so hurried away by the excess of her passion, that she could not wait un til be was promoted to a iligher rank, before she admitted him :into her-familiar society; but she placed him at her table, she took her meals with him repeatedly while lie was yet a servant ; she sat at table with hint repeatedly when he was in the livery of a courier. It was true an attempt had been made to set up that - the courier's dress was a splendid uni form; but—a courier in uniform ! as_ well might.their Lord ships have been told that the royal livery was a uniform. Lieutenant Hownam too had said, that he thought it na de gradation to her, Royal. Highness to sit at table with him in that_ manner. But could that opinions have the smallest weight with their Lordships? Was it not . degrading'to the Princess to dincewith her servant in livery? The Noble Lord then proceeded to read and comment on the evidence respect ing the PrinCess's attending the masquerade at the theatre of San Carlos, at" Naples. It was asked in reply to this, " Was it expected that her Royal Highness should go to a masque-' rade in 'her state carriage ?"—He would answer " No !" But there was a mode of attending a masqderade, in which the rank and station'of the party might be properly attended to. Bat how had her Royal Highness gone to the theatre on that occasion ? How was she accompanied ? She went in the most concealed and secret manner possible, in a commonfiacre, and accompanied only by.Bergami•and Dumont. Were those fit associates for a Princess at a masquerade. The evidence of Dumont, nu whose statement those facts rested, it had been strongly contended was not to he believed. And Dr. Hol land had been called to -contradict her, respecting this visit to the theatre of San Carlos-; but nothing which Dr. Holland had stated could in the smallest degree invalidate it, or alter the inference which was to be drawn from it. He said be was at the. theatre on that evening ; that he knew the Princess was there, but not till he heard it on the fol lowing morning, and he does not know with whom she went. Another circutuStance strongly indicative of the criminal intercourse, was the introduction of the Countess Oldi into the family, and the concealment of her relationship with Her ganri. Much had been said respecting certain letters of Do moot, which had been produced to show that she had formerly entertained a different opinion of the Princess's conduct from that which she gave in her evidence; but be thought that no inference could be fairly drawn from those letters that she was : at all conscious of the Princess's innocence of the con duct charged in the preamble of the Bill. The Noble Lord, after - a little further comment on the credibility her the evi dence of DUIDOnt, declared - his- conviction of her Majesty's guilt, and his. determination to support the Bill. - Earl FOR'I'ESCUE, then rose,. but his voice was so ex tremely low, that it was almost totally inaudible below the Bar. He was understood to say, that this was-the first oc casion on which he had ever the misfortune to differ in .opi nion from the Noble Lord near hint, but he felt bound to do so from the best consideration he could give the subject. lie could not help saying, that he had all along understood that some material alterations were to have been made in the Bill, and he felt astonished that those alterations consisted merely in the omission of the word " the," and the alteration of Bar tolomo into Bartolomeo. In his opinion, the proofs adduced in this case - were neither clear nor convincing. He thought great 'mischief had been done by bringing this question befan ore Parliament. Every step the y had taken bad gone to le lo re not only the Constitution, but the rifonarchy, and there fore be conceived their wisest course would be, while the op portunity yet existed, to endeavour to repair, as much as pos sible, the injuries which they had inflicted. The Duke of BEDFORD was unwilling to offer himself to the notice of the House, and lie was still more unwilling, be cause he . felt himself called upon to give hiedecided dissent to this Bill, which in his estimation, would tend not alone to degrade the Crown, but to degrade that House, and to do an act of injustice to the people. He had not given his vote in support of the Divorce Clause, because he felt a conscien tious conviction, that so much of the Preamble of the Bill as charged the Queen with the crime of adultery, had not been preved. He could unit consent, tinnier such circum stances, to give hi: consent to any proposition, the effect of which. mast have been dishonourable to her Majesty, He confessed he felt .some astonishment that his Majesty's hav Mie - n i s t e rs, by whom thisßill had been introduced, should consented to its mutilation, in what he considered as its most cssentiAl parts. For if they were satisfied that the adul- tery had been proved, it appeared to him that as a necessary consequence divorce ought to follow. With regard to the comments which had been made by the Noble Earl at the bead of his Majesty's Government, upon the testimony of Du mont, he taaught them by no means well founded. He .denied that. Dumont had been Confirmed by I)r. Holland, or that any thing bad occurred which entitled her to belief. After the able and elaborate manner in which the subject of evidence had been argued both at that Bar and by Noble Lords in that House, he did not think it necessary to detain their Lordships by any remarks of his own. He thought it not unworthy of observa tion, however, that nut an iota of evidence had been offered to impute the slightest act of impropriety to her Majesty, during the last three years. The King was the prosecute: in this case, although they were informed it was tl:e State. And it was not, perhaps, the least anomalous part of Vies: proceedings, that two of the King's brothers were sitting in judgment on a measure of so much delicacy and impotn once. He meant no disrespect to these illustrious person ages in saying this; he was satisfied they acted conscienti ously; he considered the charges against her disproved, 'and from the bottom of his heart he said not guilty upon my honour —(Hear, hear, hear'.)—tae proceeded to state, that when this question was first introduced to the House, he felt. very strong prejudices against the Queen, arising from the reports anti stories which were in circulation. Upon listeni iK . to the evidence, however, those prejudices had subsided, and - if he were now acting in a judicial capacity, which he did not think be was, he should have iso hesitation in saying most so lemnly, and with a safe conscience, that she was not guilty.— (Hear, bear, hear !•-alts his legislative capacity, in which cha racter he had now to - give his vote, looking to the impolicy and to the injustice of this Bill, he had as little hesitation in saying " Not Content."—(Hear !) The LORD CHANCELLOR, in rising to express his senti ments upon this important oacasion, observed that he had given way to his Grace the Duke of Bedford, being anxious that every Noble Lord should deliver his view of the great question upon. which they were called on to decide. It , did appear to hint, he must confess, to be totally impossible that any man should vote for the second reading of this Bill, who did not feel himself entirely convinced (he did nut mean as re garded a moral conviction only) of the guilt of the Queen. it was not, in that stage of the proceedings, his duty—nor did he think he need now at all address himself to that point—to enter into any consideration of the policy of what might be to .be done, should their • Lordships think her guilty. He took the liberty to point out to their Lord ships that it would be - quite competent for them, provided they felt confident that the whole or part of the charges were substantiated in evidence, to alter the preamble of this Bill, so as to ascot or deny, first, every thing which they believed to be trite, and which might be retained ; and then every thing which was not made out upon legal evidence; and this they might leave out. Returning for a moment to the divorce clause, a majority of the House had voted in its sup port ; but be would suggest to Noble Lords that it would be for -hens now to consider whether they would think it right to act upon that principle of the Ecclesiastical Courts, s. where parties proceed- for a restitution of conjugal rights, and where adultery is both a bar against restitution, and a plea of recrimination ; or whether their Lordships would rather act upon the great general principles of the Ecclesiastical Law of this land ?" His Lordship proceeded to show that It might be a question whether parties should be separated by a di vorce " a mensa et -hors," or by-a divorce only " ;no salute aviati," in which latter ease the individual, however, may nut be able to prove the adultery. The plain_ toiestion here, however, was, what was just ; his own opinion being that they could not act justly or fairly in voting for the Bill, if they did-not do so from an influence of her Majesty's guilt. Irr at tending to the Speech of a Noble Lord, who had alluded to sonic -former observations of his, it did not appear to him (the Lord Chancellor) that he had made any statement which be could wish to retract. He looked upon himself, as he had more than once observed, as a co-jurer with their Lordships; he looked upon their Lordships as co-jurors with him : end he then stated, what he now again asserted, that if, indite course of this • proceeding, their Lordships, or any of thew, found reason to alter their opinions, even up to the last mo ment, nail +tie question se;utstill.to.he put to euilte or not guilty hey would not fail to secord that opinion. .tie should nut say one word as to the expediency or policy of this measure: " but," continued his Lordship, " drawing a clear distinctiou between moral conviction and legal evidence.. ,, ur Lordships must, however, decide on the legal evidence, which in other words means presumption of guilt. If your Lim), ships are not convinced of the guilt of the Queen on legal evidence, notwithstanding all that you have beard, you rrist,t vote against the third reading of the Bill. Your Lordships heard the other day a very aisle argument on the.• war : in• which judges estimated .circumstantial evidence. Ido not, however, say that there was much analogy between the•cases cited by the Noble Lord (Grenville) and the present, not even in the case of murder: there the circumstances all .hear on one point; there the first proof must be that the crime was commit ted, that a person had beento ordered ; and it is by cirtomistau tial evidence that the crime is brought home to the guiltrio divitinaL 1 recollect a -case, in which a man was found dead. ou the highway, shot through the head; there was no doubt of the murder having been committed; the wadding of the pistol was found clotted its the hair of the deceased ; and; on the head being washed, a piece of paper was found unconsuined.-, This fragment was also -washed, being put in . a basin. of' hot water; and, being unstilted, proved to be part .-of ballad, the remainder of which was found in the pocket of another person, who was - apprehended on sus p icion of taring he murderer. Here was strong proof. In cases of circomoan - tial evidence there are antecedent facts from which inferences may be drawn. But if your Lordships will only decide cases of adultery on the positive fact baring beenlprovea, it k necessary to avow such a determination, and to declare that all the 'di vorces hitherto obtained have been wrong. Mitch will always depend on antecedent circumstances. • Suppose a lady and gentleman going into a room and locking the door, which - is afterwards forced, and they are discovered preparing to com mit adultery, this would be no evidence of the fact ; but it, a 'few•days afterwards, the same parties lock themselves rim a room for some hours, or be found for five weeks sleeping is the same apartment, would any one say that their preparing for committing the act was not a strong antecedent proof that it was afterwards committed ? Laying aside the evidence of Majocci and De Mont, and looking at the u ncontradieted evi dence its support of the case, and the evidence for the defence, which afforded iu this as strong a legal presumption of guilt as the evidence for the Bill itself—and looking also at the evidence which might have been produced for the detence, and the non-production of which ought to have been account ed for ;—looking at all these circumstances, I think it will be difficult for any man to lay his hand on his heart, and say " Not Guilty." I must again say that, if your Lordships sate not convinced of the Queen's guilt on legal evidence, no moral conviction, no question of policy or expediency, can justify your fiuding her guilty. The Noble and Learned Lord then alluded to the case at Ttieste, in which there was first 'Moral co nvictioo, a nd afterwards legal evidenc e, that the Queen was m not there ore than a day and a half. " I feel gratified, and so I am sure will your Lordships, that I am now going to otter my last words on this great and melancholy question." The public might deal with him as it pleased he should vote con scientiously, and only rega• ding the dictates of his own breast. But, acting under that influence, he could net disengage him self from the moral obligation he felt under to vote for the 3d reading of this Bill. The Bishop of CHESTER said he rose to explain the growth of the conduct which he meant to pursue arm the present stage of the question before the Douse. given his vote fur the seco nd readin g of this Bill upon his toll but painful conviction that her Majesty was guilty of the c a r p i p n e se ar a: d leg, t s o ol p r e crime proved- bv circumstantial evidence alone , and it also m e e : ' b o le f o 4 f o ittirte h ill. appeared to him that in the pi esent case that evidence bad been accumulated in an extraordinary and most convinc ing manner. If her Majesty still be innocent, he must say that innocence never before ilk the annals of the world was so placed, or had to con tend wills such a combination of eh -- coaus t a ntial and corroborative facts adverse to its character. lii giving his vote for the second reading of the Bill, he hyoid Int :MS intended to be understood as concurring in the divoyea clause.—(Hear )—He did not wish, in any thing which' be was now about to say, to enter :spin uj i s n th t e o d t u h s e ag e e tn o n f i t ri t e le ratl i o v s i t i o vLo f ar t we l t e e i r E rt i i f st, t wa , f ra l ys i eccraosieiSaslr,a:jtafetysi tt is d, missive tt;ahh: especially i t i b s o u ti c g h h i a t t he O a i - s this, against the Divine Law.
