the testimony of soy witness, bat solely from en anxiety to

wader the seine impreaslon concurred ie his motion, was, he
should think, a sulkiest approval of his lstealion. He had
thought it neeeasary to make these observations, because
whets the Counsel at their Lordaldpa' bar permitted them-
selves to indulge In oboervations, such as they bad beard,

motive for any set of his, he felt it to be his dusty to repel
the aspersion. An aspersion it was, he felt it to be so, and
be threw it back, as unfounded.—(Hear. hear, Aerie./
The Attorney General then rammed. He was merely
saying, that Sir John Beresford wad called at the suggestion
of a Bubb! Lord, and that it was Not a usual thing for wit-
nesses to be so called. He was aware, that be was not ex-
pected to make ally observations on what was done by their
Lordship.; but it hail struck him, that he had never re.
membered any similar instance is their proceedings. He
hail not meant, it we., suit always would be, far from his
iatentiou, to reflect iii any manner upon the motives
or intentions of any of their Lordships. He did not object
to Sir John Bereeford having been called, far from it ; he
rejoiced that he bad been called. He was called to elicit
the tenth, and he was glad of it, heeause the truth had been
elicited, mid their Lordships would thereby be enabled
duly to appreciate the testimony of Carrington. The
Learned Gentleman then referred to the evidence of Sir
John Ileresliard, chiefly dwelling on his denial of the
conversation with Carrington, in which the latter hid re-
preriented himself as baying said, Hist he had all objection
to being placed on the quarter-deck, fur wan* of emery or
friends to maintain him there; " for" said Sir Jolts Beers.
ford, with a feeling most honourable to him as an Officer
and a man, " I would is that ease have maintained him
myself, as I have dune tither Officers, until he was able
to pay me;" and " it was not likely after I knew that
he hail consented to become the servant of Sir Wil-
liam Cell, that I should have thought of making hint
an officer." And it also happened that he had only
been rated as Midshipman a few days, for the purpose of
enabling him to be discharged into the Thisbe, sad get his
pay on leaving the service. Was this Ilse man to coutradiet
Majorehi ? Was be whose testimony bad been so completely
coatrailicied by Sir John Beresfurd, Ilw man whose evidence
was adduced to contradict that of Majocrhi ? Aad in what
was he to contradict him ? As to a conversitiou said to
have pegged between them relative to Baron d'Onopteds,
which Might or might nut have taken place, and which
klajocchi might or might spot have renumbered. But where
again. he would ask, where was Francisco Nana, the
Genoese servant of Mr. Illownum ? He was stated to have
been pre.eist ; he might have proved ur disproved it ; he
was in England, and yet lie hail not been called; and why
hail he nut, would any man believe, brit because he knew
of no such cuaversation. They hail heard the evidence of
Majoeclii, which it had in vain been attempted to discredit ;
they hail heard the testimony of Carringloo, which be had
just .hewn to have been falsified completely. It was for
their lordships certainly to deride on which side the credit
lay; but In striking the balance in his own mind, be could
have no hesitating in saying, that the testimony of the vili-
fled Italian, Majoerhi, far outweighed that of Ibis vaunted
" gentleman of Nature."

The A 'tonsil-General was asked by a Peer, if be was star
his conclusion' and upon his replying that he should take
some lime longer to go through the evidence, the Lord Chan-
cellor moved an adjournment till tea o'clock tomorrow
morning.
